• 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.

Please pray for wisdom

I have high blood pressure and I am getting over a cold. Yesterday at work I went upstairs to get some packages and then I started coughing, and then between that and picking the packages up off the floor I started getting dizzy. Now I have had some issues with orthos tactic hypotension and with light-headedness when coughing, so on the one hand I wanted to dismiss it, but then I started to worry that it was my heart. I love the anonymity of the Internet so I can complain about this stuff. Anyway I could use some prayer.

Hope, that was beautiful! Thanks so much for posting this. I didn't listen to it earlier because I wanted to be home and use Wi-Fi. In the light of a new day and since I felt well yesterday, I am less worried about my health. But I realize part of my anxiety is just good old fashioned fear of death, which we all have to face. Concentrating on my faith and doing things that are on my heart will help with this, I think. I think I will listen to this song every day for awhile.

Thanks so much for your support, Brinny. I am feeling better today and I plan to see my doctor after Christmas. Also it gave me a little jolt of the fear of death, which can be a good thing if it reminds me to be grateful for every day, to live life to the fullest, and take care of any resentments I have. God is so good.

Praying sister.
Thanks so much. As I said to the others, I feel better today and I hope to use this experience to draw closer to God. If I hadn't reached out for prayer, I don't think I would be feeling this gratitude and reminder to prioritize things that last, like God and our loved ones.
