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.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

just saw this thread. I am praying for you too, undercoveremo
I was diagnosed with PTSD 3 yrs ago after leaving my abusive (now ex) husband.
I was on meds for a while, I had nightmares and flashbacks. With time they have diminished. I still have nightmares once in a while, but it is definitely improved.
Feel free to talk about anything here, and message me privately any time.
Hugs and prayers

My counselor taught me to do some grounding techniques for when I have flashbacks. They help some. But sometimes it's hard for me to even tell when I am in a flashback.
Anyway she said to try to have something to concentrate on that you like for when you have a flashback. I chose to talk to my birds and Jesus while having them. I found it helps some, that is when I can tell I'm in a flash back. I am still praying for you dear one. God bless you always.

Last night was the worst night in a long time. I even left the house for a drive to try and escape the thoughts at about nearly 1am. I have been distressed most of the day. Thanks for your message.

No, it's not God punishing you. You have an illness and it's giving you an awful terrible time. Have you thought of going to the hospital? Just an idea, it's up to you, of course. I am praying for you and I care a lot. I suffered without medicine for a long time with PTSD and I can relate to you so much. It's like flashbacks while awake and nightmares when you sleep and depression much of the time, that's what my life was like. I still get flashbacks and nightmares but with the medicine they are more managable. Please keep writing.

Jesus loves you and so do I. I've had nightmares like that, too, where you feel like your still in them and you're terrified.

I've had nightmares too. Over time, and being reassured that I am safe, nightmares have almost disappeared, though not completely. It takes time

Thankyou for this. Depression is not something people who know me would say but you are right. I feel like im in my own war here with myself. The world seems less real than ever.

not sure where to start. Triggered constantly today. Want to hide and sleep but cant. Im sure even Jesus has had enough of me to be honest. Feel so isolated even amongst people and even though Jesus is there.

I'm praying to Jesus for you. Jesus loves you no matter what and would never get tired of you. You are his precious child and he wants you to feel better. I have been isolating to heal the physical and emotional pain I have. It helps and I feel sometimes it's good for me. The world can be such an overwhelming place.
