• 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.

Jeremiah 29:11 "For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome"

Healing is a process.....it takes time and commitment.....
Even though it may not be easy, the freedom and healing you will received is worth it. Make God's priority in your life,and you will receive the healing you need.....

How have you been? Will your counselor work with your financial situation? Talk with him a bit, maybe he can reduce or even waive the fee. What about finding a free counselor, have you looked? If you have insurance you could call them and have them place you with someone, otherwise there are free counselors available, just a matter of finding them. What about attending a support group, have you thought about that? Give United Way a call, they placed me with a support group I've been going to for over 2 years now, met a great man there who went on to become a close mentor of mine.

People can connect with one another through their pain, that's been my experience with the trauma I've gone through and my abusive upbringing, being able to share my pain with someone else and together not feeling as alone and besides ourselves as a result.

You'll grow stronger and as long as you keep seeking God along the way, he'll guide you through this. Keep sharing your story, you've taken a big step in revealing this much, it's important to not let where you've been decide your future by letting it eat away at you.

God bless.

Do you have health insurance at all? Most plans pay for you to go if you have some sort of condition that they approve of. Are you addicted to anything to ease the pain? Are you depressed a lot? Those are two things that will get most health insurance to sit up and take notice.
