• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

*hugs* Lord has a reason for everything. "Everything that happens in this world happens at the time God chooses. He sets a time for finding and the time for losing. The time for tearing and the time for mending. So I realized that all we can do is be happy and do the best we can while we are still alive." (Ecclesiastes 3:1,6,7,12)

Lord, guard over Princessfirefly as she makes her way home ahead of the storm. Only You know oh Lord why this storm came to be and why you made Princessfirefly have to let go of her friend so early. Mend their hearts oh Lord and let them not be mad at You for pulling them apart early. Let them find happiness in You for the friendship they do have and let them grow closer together because of the distance You purposely are putting between them. Lord, let them cry in Your embrace and take shelter in You oh Lord, and find comfort in the knowledge that soon they will see each other again in the time You so choose. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

This might be whining... but I'm feeling like a failure right now, and very alone. It's just a feeling that overwhelms me once in a while, and I'm in one of the 'phases'... :(

:hug::hug::hug:

Praying that the sense of failure and the feeling of isolation may soon pass.

*hugs* You aren't a failure..."I can do all things in Him who strengthens me" (Philippians 4:13), and you are never alone..."I will never leave you; I will never abandon you" (Hebrews 13:5).

Thanks for your concern. I don't really know how I'm doing. My depression seems to be back even though I'm on anti-depressants but I think its just because of the situation. Its just really hard to believe that she won't be around anymore. I think knowing that she is dying and waiting for the call to say she's gone is the worst part because I know it will happen, its just a matter of time and I know I'll have to grieve too but I can't until she's not here anymore. I hope I didn't ramble too much.

TLB- I don't think you can ramble too much here. If you can't ramble about what is bothering you here, where can you? I think knowing you're going to get the call but not having any idea when must be torture. Don't be too hard on yourself for being upset. And man it sucks that we can't start the grieving process when we know we're going to need to instead of having to play the waiting game.

youthwalk- I wish I had something comforting to say. At least it isn't a long time you have to wait to see if it is something you'll be sticking with or not.

Hi

Somebody that I used to work with is dying of cancer and will probably not last the week.

*hugs* Lord, be with TLB and her co-worker this day. TLB needs You to be there when all else around her fails and crumbles beneath her. Give her comfort when death draws near for this friend and give peace and comfort to the dying friend as well. Guard and guide TLB for she is lost and alone right now in her grieving process and the darkness of the situation is dragging her down. Lift her up oh Lord and be there for her as she struggles through this time of trial. Hold her close and help her to know this friend is going to a better place and will be free of the pain now being experienced. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I feel like crying. I was put on Topamax after being off Lithium for almost a year. It feels like a retrograde step. But my doc says it's just for a trial period of a wek to see if it's even necessary.

*hugs* Lord youthwalk is struggling with the changes her doctor is putting her through oh Lord. Let the medicine work and be a step in the right direction rather than a step back as she sees. Hold her hand dear Lord and lead her along this path of transition when she needs You the most. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
