• 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 could always do with a hug. I want the situation with my meds to be resolved so that I dont feel crappy. I'm pretty thankful to God at this point because He's pulled me through. I got off antidepressants and I've been stable. Still have bipolar to battle with but He's good so I know I'm taken care of.


ReverieMaiden, I just wanted to say that you're doing a wonderful thing here. The title of my GB entry is wrong ...sorry, I had something else on my mind.

Father, please fix the issue with youthwalk's medication. She needs them to remain stable and live her life and it should be. Being bipolar is a daily struggle. Help her to fight that struggle and find your strength to carry on. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen!

youthwalk- I am more than happy to have started this thread. I have already seen the prayers here working through those who have posted. I know that some days life is hard and I want to just break down and sob. I know others feel the same. That is why we have to stick together. With God on our side we can get through anything! God Bless You and I Hope You Have a Great Day! *hugs*

I think I would like to post. I haven't in awhile. I haven't meant to go away as soon as I get well but I am really into Blessing Exchange. I think I am making full blown recovery and though I pray for you'll everyday, I promised my Mom I wouldn't just dwell on the depression threads like I use to. To anyone who needs a hug: :hug:

I have been there. I have got through it. I haven't cut in 4 months, and though I still have issues with self-esteem, I am feeling normal again and I thank God everyday for that. I hope everyone is doing well. I am praying for all. I feel weak sometimes but I look on some of the stories on these threads and I look at the wonderful life I have, and it gives me strength to keep fighting. After so much, I just feel so good and so thankful! :hug:

*hugs* Lord, thank you that lily00 hasn't cut herself in 4 months. That is absolutely wonderful! Help her to stay strong and lift her up when she feels weak and her self-esteem is low. Embrace her more than we ever could try to. Just please hold her close so she knows she is not fighting this battle alone. In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.

I guess this might be a pace I could say this. I have been hit really hard lately struggling with alot and feeling like I am all alone. When my wife lost her job about almost 2 months ago I still supported her and didn't get mad I know God will find another one for her. Then we had more problems with our older daughter (7yrs) she refuses to talk at school and we had to take her to the doctors to try to help her with this selective mutism. I just gave that to the Lord also. Later on our roof got damged and we need it fixed, the bills are starting to pile up I got some what worried but tried hard to give it to the Lord. Then came fights with my wife I tried to calm it down or just give in but this wasn't working. Then of course sin creeps into your life and when your already down it seems like whatever. Finally when I realize I need to stop depression sets in to. It is like a constent bombardment of things. I don't have any close friends or really any friendships at all. I have struggled with this because I was burned so much by past friendships. I really am tiered and am so confused and depressed, sad, even at work I seem to be just messing up and not worth anything. Thats the real kicker I not to think that it is just hard when it rings over and over agian as if thats all yoou hear. I have been reading the word and praying. I have been seeking encouragement but sadly I have found none. I kinda of understand what Job feels like especially when everyone around you wants to condem you. I just don't know what to do any more. I am sorry if I wasted anyone time reading this.

Hugs to you brother.
Father right now we just lift up Romans to you and ask you to pul him close to your bosom. We ask that you begin to move on his behalf and that you hear and answer his prayers for his family, job, and all lifes problems. Open the mouth of his daughter and cause her to begin to speak and communicate with others. We pray for his finances and that you would provide for all his needs and the needs of his family.We also pray for him at his work place and ask that you would allow and help to excel in his job. Give him confidence and security as you begin to move in his life, and reassure him that everything will be okay. And satan, we come against you right now and say take your hands off this family of God! They belong to the Lord and you have no right or authority to bring them under this attack. We speak peace to this situation and give praise to God for hearing and answering our prayers...in Jesus name amen.....Rush

Could really use a hug. Trying to change some things in my life but it just makes my depression worse and am really struggling with self harm and stuff. I wish I was dead most of the time and have started planning seriously...I know all the stuff that people will say about think of how my family will feel but it's still so hard to keep going...

Father we lift up pockleberry to you and we ask you put a hedge of protection around her and keep her from harming herself. Lift this dark cloud of depression that hangs over her. Give her reason to live and purpose in life and use this situation she is going through to minister to others in the future. She is your child Father and she is crying out to you now...hear her plea....hear her desperation and answer her quickly....in Jesus name amen.

You are not alone sister and you are not going through this battle alone for many at cf are standing at your side....God Bless You...Rush

Dear Lord I come in agreement with rushingwind. I pray that you will lift up our sister and your dear daughter so that she will know that she is loved and accepted in You and that you will help her that she will overcome whatever may be attacking her. Spirit of depression and suicide I command you to return to where you came from and where you belong. You have no right to be affecting my precious sister and in the name of Jesus Chirst you have to leave her alone. I command you to leave my sister alone and to never bother her ever again. Amen

Sis we are all here for you if you ever need us just give me a PM if you ever need to talk. Or if you want a female to talk to I will give you my fiance's screen name on here actually she is the creator of this thread her screen name is reverie_maiden.

Lord, continue to be in this man's life. He has gone through some hard times. Help his wife to find a new job to help support the family. Let his daughter open up to the other students and feel free to talk with them and make friends. Provide them with the money to fix the roof completely and to pay the bills that come every month. Help him Lord to fight the battle against sin in his life. Take the depression that hangs over him daily and gived him renewed peace and hope. Let him know that even though the friendships are not there for him with others, that he can always talk to you about his day and just to release the pressures and stress of his day. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
