• 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.

Hi Flavius, Merry Xmas.

Just wondering how things are going for you with this topic?

Hello, Merry Christmas to you too. First thank you for this check up, I really appreciate it. Second I'm sorry if I never gave a response. I certainly read your response and it helped ease the anxiety this was giving me. I suppose I had nothing else to argue and everything you said had got me thinking.

Currently I must admit I haven't pushed a true initiative to give in to God in mind, body, and soul. I still get a good amount of depression thinking about my own sinfulness and inadequacy in life, though recently it's all been personal problems instead of getting angry about the imperfection of groups outside of myself. However the post you wrote down did help me through the time I made this thread; I feel like I go from slothful and stagnant followed by wrathful and agitated by all the world's problems and my own flaws.

I'm sorry to reply with so little progress made, my skepticism mixed with 7 years of piled sins makes me feel chained down in a dark room away from God.

I really do hope you're Christmas is good, and again I feel the need to apologies. I feel like a jerk for not being able to take your good advice to heart and get passed all this.

Im so glad I was able to help in some small way. :)

I dont expect there to be too much progress made, so dont beat yourself up about that. I think these issues can take a lifetime to work on when they run so deep!

I DID have a good Xmas this year Thank you!.

I have to say this and let you in on a secret, or a personal revelation!. ;) .....I did not put too much "expectations" on it, . . and I kept it simple!.

Usually I work myself into an absolute frazzle, and do not enjoy it at all, and end up bitterly disappointed with the outcome! . . . But I decided not to do that to myself this year, and it worked out sooo much better !! ^_^

It has only taken me about 30 years or more! . . . to figure this one out!!! ;)

*groan*

*shakes head*


hehe. :) :)
