• 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.

Recovery from a breakup

Recently I have broken up with a girl after being together for 3 months. It is very painful because I had so much hope for it and I love her very much. I miss her sometimes and I really want my negative emotion just wash away. I miss the happiness provided from the relationship but now I can never get it back. It is worse when you get something and have an expectation from it. Sometimes I wish I'd never had it before.

I believe that everything will work for good for those who love God. I just find it difficult that my head knowledge cannot heal my heart. Sometimes it is hard for me to believe there is still hope after such a big disappointment. All I can do is to hang on to God.

I guess it is a process of healing and I need to wait some time to recover from it. I just want to share with you all and let you know my feelings. Let's continue be hopeful and loving even though there is some pain in our journey.

I am trying to spend more time at church and work to keep myself productive and I am very thankful to God giving me a supportive family, a lovely church and enjoyable work.

God bless you all, brothers and sisters! Please spare a moment and pray for me! Thanks!

Beloved Father, please bring Your comfort and hope to Your servant Johnjohn. Heal his heart and sustain his hope. And please, in Your own time, bring him a loving and faithful life partner so that together they can share the blessing of Your love. Amen.

Johnjohn, you have a wonderful attitude and I hope your pain is short-lived and that you find an awesome woman to have a relationship with.

Blessings,
Laurie

John :) The hurt will ease believe me it gets better and things will always make sense in the end. I always have the hardest time with the why's and the what if's but God has a hand in how things work. Could be for the best and could still change. Wait and pray awhile but do be positive and seek out friends to help your heartache.
