• 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.

I mean quit 4 month data entry job to take permant job as shipping forman I should have know better I interviewed for this place for an accounting position I was way shape or form qualified for the job but there shipping foreman went to lunch and just decided not to come back I let desperation to move out of my parents house blind me to what bad position I was taking. Then to top things of inside of the first week there I endup turning down a temp accounting job granted the job wasn't going last any longer than 3 months they were installing computer system to streamline process and elimante the position I would have been filling but still though it would have been actaul accounting and I would be working longer than I did as a shipping foreman.

*hugs* Lord, only You know what job You want CyberPaladin to have. You know what he is qualified for and what he is good at. Lord help him to find his way and get back on to the path You want him to be on. He seems so lost right now Lord. He needs Your guidance to get him where he needs to be going. Lord, be a calm in his storm and settle the waves that seem to be overwhelming him. Let him rest in You oh Lord to fully rely on You to know what is best and what purpose you need him to fulfill. Lord please let him find a job he will be happy and successful doing. He needs You oh Lord. Be there for him. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

God bless,
I know how hard it is to find a good job and in the type of work you want. I was fortunate enough to find a good temp agency.. have you tried that route? It took 7mos, but it was worth it to find the job I'm in now. Don't know if that helps you out any - I'll pray for you.

Hi All,

I know I always request for the same thing, but I have another new place I have to go to tonight. I've never been there before and have to make the drive alone, and it is in the evening, which makes it worse for me. My anxiety is kicking in and any prayers for a smooth evening (and peace of mind) would be greatly appreciated. :sigh:

Hugs to all who need. :groupray:

Rain~

I'm sorry I haven't been under here in awhile. But, since Joey and I got married we haven't had internet unless we use the wireless at his parents' place. So, it will be very far and few between when I will be able to come on here. So, I just wanted ya'll to know that I am still thinking about you and praying for ya'll as well.

Joey and I are having some problems with finances right now though because a week after we got back from our honeymoon Joey lost his job. So, we are struggling...but we know the Lord will provide. We ask for your prayers and will continue to pray for all of you as well.

:hug: :hug: :hug: *hugs to you all*

Sometimes I just feel like I'm close to giving up. I came here to pour my heart out, because no one will listen to me!

God poured a vision into my heart and mind for a halfway house for jail releasees and addicts. My husband is not very supportive, until things start going well and important people start getting involved in the group (Sparrow House). Then, all of the sudden, he acts like HE is the one to do all the work.

We argued over the phone at work today because he was going "blah, blah, blah, blah, blah," when I told him someone important is coming to speak at the next meeting.

He always wants to make himself look important. He doesn't even know anything about what he's trying to talk about! I know it's my pride too, or it wouldn't matter to me...

I do a lot of research, phonecalls, newsletter, ministry etc. all month long, and then when it's time for the meeting, all the sudden my husband pops up and expects to lead!

Does anybody understand what I'm saying????????

I understand what you are saying. Have you talked with your husband and explain to him how you feel about it and that it hurts you when he is taking credit for everything.

Remember that God sees everything. He sees the work you are doing and you will be rewarded either on earth or in Heaven. :hug:

Auncy, I've tried. He takes offense to it, for some reason.

Today I feel depressed. I feel alone. Too much to explain.

Have you ever gotten all the way to the top of a mountain, and once you get there, realize that you have no real friends that even care about you?

hello all,
I have been getting pretty depressed over the past few weeks..several things going on but they kind of all tie in together. In a nutshell, years ago I had to leave my husband bc of abuse (verbal, physical) that was getting worse...not at all the life I had hoped for. I guess I sort of hoped or assumed that things would get better but although for a while they kind of did, things have gone really downhill over the past couple years...I am in a unhealthy living situaiton right now.
I struggle with alot of anger towards GOd, it seems like poeple that havent had any major trials to speak of, will sometimes say how all I need to do is 'trust!' and so on...I understand that, but it sounds kind of like a canned phrase without any real depth of concern, almost like a greeting card thrown out there.
I felt betrayed by some people in my family after a major illness in our family and they have not been there for me at all. Then this past week a close friend, or I thought a close friend casually announced she is moving out of state, in a mere 14 days. She was supposed to help me with something and she called to say 'oh, sorry I dont think I can do that.//"
I wish I could meet at least a couple of friends who really care, or get married again someday...right now I feel like the friends I do have are all married and they might throw out a crumb someitmes, like a phone call, or meeting for lunch, but they dont really care that deeply for what we're going through. I feel really betrayed by this friend, I can't believe knowing what we've been through she would just cheerily announce 'oh, sorry, can't help ya!!" without any offer of anytnhing. I g uess I am more loyal than alot of people and more caring, I couldnt just go on so merrily with my life and not offer any support, caring to someone in a very difficult situation.
what gets me is that she is Christian and has a ministry to help others but she does not extend that past her ministry..if a friend is in trouble, or someone at her church, she will be almost indifferent to it, but when it comes to her (paid) ministry she doesnt have any trouble speaking out and getting involved in strangers lives.

Not that I share in the same stuff as what many of you posted and i hope no one will laugh when i share this.

But, I lost my dog a year and a half ago. He was my all n all. He was my best friend, my companion. He did everything with me and I had to put him down due to old age. I thought i was done grieving him but, over the last few months, its been bad. I've gone into deep sadness and depression really mourning his loss and i'm struggling writing this down bc i feel extremely close to crying again. That dog did whatever to make me happy -- he was my best friend i could have ever had!

I never had and still don't have close friends (did at college but now i just graduated and, well, everyone is all over and i don't have really anyone to turn to -- I kno God but u kno what i mean and my dog (Teddy) slept right next to me in my bed every single night and i miss that -- very difficult. I kno its NOT the same as losing a person but, it feels so close to me.

I had Teddy for 11 1/2 yrs. Rescued him from a shelter when he was 3 1/2 yrs old and he turned out to be an amazing dog - a lifesaver. If it wasn't for that dog, i don't think I'd b hear today - he saved me from taking my life back in middle school bc school was so bad but Teddy took all my hurts and turned it into joy - my fav memories w/ him are when he always went skateboarding w/ me. I loved it and i kno he did -- pulled me along and we'd FLY like the wind!!!

Anyway, that's my story mainly -- some days r worse then others and I'll just cry my heart out missing him - i'll never have another dog quite like him -- he was a pure Gift from God -- i KNO that w/ all my heart bc of all the POSITIVE Things he taught me throughout the years I had him - how to treat people, he even pointed me to Christ bc back then, i wasn't a christian and didn't care but thru the way he carried himself, taught me so much which is why i miss him so much! The empty spot won't ever Truly go away n i cry often for him just wanting to see him again, wanting to esp hold him - he died in my arms, just the way i wanted him to! love him. just want 2 b w/ him again!
