• 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 have social anxiety and I stopped calling the ones I love to see if they'd call me, and so far other than my dad to ask me something about finance and whether I was coming home from school for the weekend, no one has called me or even spoke to me online. I called my best friend and told her about how worthless I feel, she hasn't talked to me since (and she's on break).

My life is completely void of social interaction (other than my roommate to tell me to get out of the room so I can meet some people - even though he just wants to be alone with his girlfriend), and no one respects what I have to say. I'm VERY angry at God and I refuse to talk to Him until he gives me a reason to wake up in the morning.


The worst part about it is I love people and I'm very outgoing and I love trying new things... I just have no opportunity to be myself. I'm not thinking about suicide although I am wondering if anyone would really be affected if I died.

I've been going through a rough time at my work, but God has managed to grace me through it -- then I got a message from my Aunt, and it seems she's the one in need of a huge hug...

She's going through a very rough time at her office right now. They are transitioning employees and policies and everything! because the company was bought out by another one. She's gone from VP to 'sidekick' and everyone in her team is complaining to her about their new boss. It's also turned into micromanagement... She's having a really hard time now, and might have to make a decision about moving cross-country, which will effect her whole life. Please pray for her in her time of need. :cry:

Thanks so much for reading. God bless!

*hugs* Lord let EmmVeePee know he is not alone. People do care and above all Lord you care for him the most. Let him rely on you oh Lord and lift him up into Your precious arms. If others don't come to him, please Lord help him to go to them. Show him Lord that it is ok to socialize and go out to have a good time. Help him to initiate get togethers so that he doesn't feel so left out anymore. Lord, shine Your light back into his life and give him a willingness to try those new things and get out and meet new people. Revive in him a zest for a brighter and happier life in you oh Lord. Guide him through Your words and the Holy Spirit. Live in him and bring peace, love, and joy back into his life. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

EMVeePee, I am so sorry you are going through this. I know it's rough.

I had problems with depression one time, too. I was diagnosed with major depression and severe PTSD.

I got better. It was a fight, but I did get well, and today I am completely well. I wrote about my fight to get well on another site. I could give you the address if you are interested.

Meanwhile, I am praying for you.

(((((((hugs)))))))

*hugs* Lord guide Rainchild through this difficult time at work. You have been there for her and let her oh Lord know You will continue to be there guiding her and easing her stress. Lord, also be there for her aunt. She is struggling with so many changes at work and if there is a move cross-country, hold her close dear Lord and make it a smooth and easy change for her. If she does stay where she is comfort her Lord and let things happen as Your will permits them to. Help Rainchild to be there for her and support her. Support them both dear Lord and let them lean on You in this time of struggle. Be their rock and hold them close dear Lord and may they fully rely on You. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Hey guys, I'm feeling MUCH better. I talked to a very special friend of mine, and my roommate forced me to go to his church where God really spoke to me.

I was unable to go to church the past 3 weeks due to Bronchitis and some issues staying up all night due to inconsiderate people throwing parties. I always thought I never really needed it like others do, and I think God used this depression to get me over that.

I'm very sorry for all of you that go through depression, it sucks, and if you don't think ANYONE loves you, please know that I love you, we share life in Christ, but through this past week, I understand where you are to some extent, and because I shared something similar, I love you.
