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.

Hey I don't know whas going on bt what ever it is you can make it through it even if it doesnt feel like it sometimes, your stronger than your urges.
Hang in there sweetie,
my attitude has gone downhill today but tyawesome attitude to have littlenova.
sweetheart. learning to vent to parents is quite an art for us all. you have to teach them to listen. it happens to all us teenagers and young adults. the relationship from little kid to dependant and seperate young adult is not snap your fingers like our birthday's. you know, one day you wake up 17. well, the struggle between parent and adult is a growth spurt thing. you learn; you now teach them who you are. they buck, because "they know best"... you feel unheard and little... until finally parents start to understand you really are seperate and discovering your own life. parents care for and have a certain rythym. you are asserting your own rythym. (sorry about my spelling 
) we learn from lots of people; not just our parents. parents have a tough time seeing all this. you have to teach them what you need. don't give up because it's hard and uncomfy at times. just remember each time you bump heads; you are both trying to figure out what went wrong. both feeling small and failed or unheard. maybe write a letter about it. but bless your hearts. xo i know it's quite a battle with yourself and can be with parents. SI is scary to them. they think "don't do it" is simple. teach them it's not. need top chat? pm any of the recovery staffers. we'll be happy to encourage you and help you find resources in your area if needed. xo dee
