• 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 my first issue ive been haveing started around 18 years old i am now 31.

My issiue is when i was 18 i had a Kitten by the name of Joey,what i did to him was i used to throw him down the steppes for no reason at all,after the 3rd time both his eyes were red they did heal on there own,after about a month i had to give him away cause my land lord didnt like cats and ever since then i wish i could say "i am very sorry Joey! I am very sorry!" to him,but since i cant remeber who i gave him too i can never say it to his face.

Now ever since the age of 18,when i think about what i did to Joey i beg/ i plea / i cry to God for forgiveness,i wonder to my self if god will ever let me into Heaven,i have been bothered about this situation since i was the age of 18. I really really want to know if God has forgiven me so i can finnaly be at peace.


i do now have a Awsome Black cat by the name of Knight,i treat him like a prince,i have made a promise to God and my self that i would never ever do what i did to Joey,at the beginning i did do it ONE TIME but ever since i have never did it again, i love him and i know he loves me cause if ya just think about him he seems to purrr . he purrs all the time,he sometimes acts like a Nut,he sometimes acts like a dog or a human. I love him like a brother i will never do what i did to Joey. Please dont think i am a monster guys and girls "Please?"



Ok my next issue is i smoke and about 5 days ago when i had no smokes for about 3 days i found out that i was a monster,i never realized how mean i could get,i started pounding the wall,came real close on putting my fist thru the wall,i pounded my feet on the floor and i really thought they were going to go thru the floor,i pounded my computer table and i really thought it was goinng to break in half. The good thing about all this is my room mate was gone for the 3 days,if he was here i dont know what would of happened if he would made me mad about something,im afraid i would of really hurt him. Im afraid i would be in jail. The really odd thing about this is i did go with out smokes for 3 days once a few years ago and i do remember that i never got this violent. After all that beating of stuff,i practicly broke down and cried i never Knew there was such a Monster inside of me i dont like it i dont want it to come out any more or when my best friend is home.

About 2 months before this happened i ran out of smokes,we HAD a old phone where it would keep pressing its number 2 times instead of 1 like skipping kinda,it did it at the worst time when i didnt have smokes,the phone was broken over my knee in to 100 pieces,i felt some pain but i kept doing it,i couldnt stop till it was practicly 100 parts from its original form. Am i a Monster? I never was this mean/violent. i dont Like it.


another issue for you guys and gals..

Why does Society hate ya once your not a kid anymore? why is it when your a kid Society loves you,cares for you,treats you with respect. but as soon as you turn into a adult Society hates you? It really seems like this from what i observe in life. i really wish i was still a kid,i hate being a adult .

Last issue..

Why am i alive? why do i exist? I really dont want to be here. i really dont. i want to be with God.


Issue to God...

Am i aloud in Heaven? Can i please come home now? Please?! Please?...

God i promise i wont commit suicide to be with you,i wont pay anyone to kill me casue its the same. i want to be with you on your Terms.

friend,

you seem very confused.

all people hide a "monster" in them. it's just that some have managed to even control it.

every single person in this world has hurt a fellow person or an animal or life in general. so don't feel alone. we all feel sorry for what we did and we ask for forgivenes.

when we understand we did something bad and ask for forgiveness, then we have to let it go, otherwise it will haunt us and this is not a Godly thing.

sometimes it is very difficult to let go, but we have to do it. this is the only way our soul will uplift to God.

God bless you.

Society shelters and protects children, but expects adults to take care of themselves. Society fears angry people, especially angry men. People are afraid an angry man will become violent, and hurt those around them.

Annoula is correct: we all carry a savage beast within us. Men especially are expected to restrain their anger and their violent impulses. Most men walk the tightrope between savage and saint every day, and most of them make the right choices most of the time.

God stands ready to help you deal with your anger, your guilt, and your addiction to tobacco, or anything else. Pray for help to deal with your anger. Tell God how sorry you are about hurting Joey, and ask him for forgiveness. Ask him for help to never hurt animals or people again. If you want to be free from tobacco, ask him for help with that too.

God will forgive you, as he has forgiven me and everyone else who turns to him and accepts Jesus into their hearts. Spend a few minutes each day reading the Bible, especially the New Testament. God's peace can calm your heart even when everything and everyone around you is going wrong.

I will pray for you too.

Nothing that you do in life is without consequenses

Observe...

When you die you will be shown your 'life review' you will re-live the incident in which you threw Joey to the ground, you see Joey is a being of God ,created and loved. A simular event like yours happend to Carter mills who for no reason killed a bird ,this is what happend and what God showed him..

He relived each incident in his life, including killing a mother bird when he was eight. He was so proud of that single shot until he felt the pain the bird's three babies went through when they starved to death without her.

This means that most likely you will go thru the karmatic pain that you have caused to Joey.

"It's not true that only humans have souls," Mills cautions today. "Insects, animals, plants have souls, too. Yes, I still eat meat, for in this realm species eat each other to survive, but I bless my food and say thanks for the gift life gives. If I don't the food sours in my stomach."

Towards your smoking.

Keep trying to quit!!!

Everything that you are spiritually dependant on 'prevents' you from entering heaven. You aren't a monster, you are changing spiritually, which means you are improving but still have a long way to go. Don't worry about getting angry all of that, that's 'not' you and that 'old' telephone deserved to be smashed for not working lol, but on a serious note these are just 'kick off' signals, my dad wanted to kill me when he was quitting smoking, he was just as angry as you. Keep on trying to quit however tho, even if you fall 6 times, try six times more to quit. My dad was a chainsmoker at 14 to 40 years, but he managed to quit. Even after relapses, and im so proud at my dad for completing this, a real inspiration source.

Society doesn't 'hate you' , but when you are a grown adult society expects you 'naturally' to take care of yourself because you have 'become' part of this society.

Why am i alive? = You are here to love and help other people.

Why do i exist? = The world is a place filled of darkness and hatred, your supposed to bring love and light into this world.

I really dont want to be here. i really dont. = Life is supposed to be hard, that is how you learn. Before a soul comes to earth it promises God that it will forfill its life here on earth to full completion, this will enhance God because God will experience everything you go thru.

i want to be with God. = You are with God already, some people search for God all their lives but you are always connected to God. You don't like life, most of us don't but going back to that experience thing. Imagine yourself a world where 'nothing' happend, how would that make you stronger? It wouldn't , a world with zillions of problems would make your spirit stronger because the fight against the body enhances the soul.

I hope that answers your questions.

I get angry too at times in my life when things are going wrong. I have punched walls before and wanted to destroy things, but I have learned to pray and ask the Holy spirit to help me. I also try to remember that Satan is always around too, and he delights in our misery. I don't want to give him the satisfaction of seeing one of God's children acting out and not having self-control, which is one of the fruits of the spirit. You have to remember that we don't fight in the flesh. You are having a spirtual war and you can not fight it by using your fists. You have to pray and seek God's strength. He will be there. Be strong and when the rage comes say to yourself "Peace be still." This helps me calm myself and it really works. I hope this helps.

This is not an issue -- believe me. God doesn't hold these things against us anymore...he forgets them....it's us that have the problem with them. The treatment of 'Joey' has absolutely nothing to do with whether you will go to heaven when you die.

It sounds to me like you are ready to accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. That's all is takes for you to have that home in heaven, my friend. Jesus died for YOUR sin.....just like he did for every person who has ever lived, is living, or will ever live. He loves you so much, that if you were the only person who had ever existed, He would still have died for you!!! Pretty awesome, huh?

You can find all of this in your Bible: Romans 3:10 "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one."
Romans 3:23 "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;"
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
Romans 5:8 "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 9:9, 10 & 13 "That if thou shalt confess with they mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."

You were created to glorify God - once we know His Son as our Saviour, He expects us to serve Him to the best of our ability.

Of course, you are allowed into heaven - just as all people are - IF and only if you accept Jesus Christ as your Saviour. My prayer is that you will ask Jesus to save your soul, my friend.

Yes, those scriptures are in the Catholic Bible, my friend. The book of Romans is found in the New Testament.....Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, The Acts, Romans......

I am praying for you. With God all things are possible. I recommend that you start going to Church again, speak with your priest about your anger and definitely take time to go to confession. You will feel the peace of Jesus' love and forgiveness for you. What you really need is more God in your life but you must invite Him in. He's standing at the door of your heart knocking....waiting for you to welcome Him in.
