• 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,
I'm a single mum, I work full time and have a long commute to work. I'm being investigated for chronic joint pain and awful fatigue. My dad is very unwell and I'm taking all the responsibility for his support as no family to help.

I'm in a relationship with the most lovely chap and I really hope that this will flourish, he doesn't want to get married again. He's been very quite recently and I'm thinking the worse. I wish that we could be married and live together and then I wouldn't have to deal with everything on my own.

I'm in lots of debt and just really struggling. I used to have a lot of faith in God. I experienced spiritual abuse as a believer and I left the church. I was encouraged to stay with my abusive (now ex) husband I have lost trust in the church and in God.

I hope all that made sense. I'm just so exhausted and can't seem to catch a break at all

so sorry for your struggles

hoping your lovely chap will give you some help
and that you have some time to enjoy his company

know that you don't have to get everything done everyday
wear the same clothes twice, skip a shower or two and put your feet up and rest once in a while so you don't get worse physically
