• 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.

Crimeny! I think I need a hug today....

I'm so stressed out over work these past few weeks... it's been crazy hectic and I've gotten a lot of good feedback and thank you's for my efforts, but it only takes one fire to make me feel like it's a house of cards crashing down on me - it's also my anxiety kicking in full gear. I just need to breathe, calm down, and stop thinking people are having negative thoughts about me... It seems too overwhelming at times, though.

I think I just needed to vent, and also a prayer for my peace of mind.

Thanks so much for reading...
Rain~

Boy do I know what it's like to be stressed and anxious. Hang in there, I'll be praying for you.

Also, one thing that's helped me is to remember that God is the only one who can judge you. Normal, everyday human beings' opinions don't matter at all when you've got God on your side. I hope that helps you as much as it has helped me.

Wow! Thanks so much - it really does help. I get overwhelmed more easily these days, but He always brings me through it. I tend to be the hardest judge on myself too - I will try to let go and give it to Him.

Thanks much!
Rain~

*hugs* Lord, calm the raging storm inside WhiteRain. She needs you now more than ever because of the stress that is weighing her down. Let her find peace in You oh Lord when things get too hard. Help her to not take the negative comments from others too seriously, because You Lord know who she is and know she is not what they claim she is. You oh Lord know her heart and see now that it is calling out to You. Hear her cries oh Lord and take her into Your embrace. Soothe her and be her rock to stand on when all around her seems to be falling down. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

*hugs to all those who need them*

Lord, reach out to those who dwell in the shadows this day. Show them that even though they are scared they can reach out and take Your hand oh Lord and You will lead them on to a brighter path. "Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, Lord, for you are with me. Your shepherd's rod and staff protect me." (Psalms 23:4) Lord, we are all lost sheep. We are wandering in the darkness of sin and chaos this world brings on our lives. Lift us up oh Lord into Your loving embrace and hold us as we shed our tears of pain. Lord, be with those who suffer this day. Take their pain and replace it with Your everlasting peace. Fill them with the Holy Spirit oh Lord and let them find their purpose in this life. Hold on to them Lord when they begin to slip away and think there's no hope. Let Your spirit move through them oh Lord so they can be found in You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

*hugs* Maybe the people at your church think you two are on a vacation...I mean it is summer now. So, don't be so down about no one getting ahold of you. I am sure they are thinking about you. If you get lonesome though, we'll always be here for you.

Sending you big from a mom!!! You have been delivered a big blow to your heart so you have every reason to feel sad. It's perfectly o.k for you to cry and miss your mom, especially on Mother's Day! I'm sure you miss her greatly...a girl needs her mom. Just don't let grief consume you and take control of your life. You need to live the life your mother gave you! You ARE NOT A FAILURE!!! We only fail when we give up trying! Don't do that! You are doing the best you can. You can do all things through Christ who strengthens us...friends help too . Hang in there, things will get better. Don't give up!

*hugs* You aren't a failure. When you experience loss it is ok to grieve. Holidays do open wounds you once thought were healed, but just think about it, you cried because you loved her and miss her. That is perfectly ok. You need to let out emotions like that and remember her whenever you can.

Lord, hold your dear child close. She has experienced a lot of grief in the last few years and holidays such as Mother's Day bring back immense pain. Help Your child to grieve and sit there to wipe away her tears. Take her into Your arms and show her that You are there for her and there is no reason to give up. Your Holy Spirit moves through her and lets life flow so that she can keep going and live life to the fullest in You oh Lord. Comfort her oh Lord and help to soothe her in these tough times. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
