• 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.

do you ever have so much going on that you become numb, you dont know where you are heading and find it hard to have a purpose so you just kinda switch off don't do anything or go anywhere well that has been me for the last 10 months but I know God is out there I just wish He would show me :pray:

That's been me for 10 years. Maybe if you read your bible, or pray, or listen to some Christian music you would feel that God was closer in your life? Not suggestion you don't do, that was just all I could think of, since I'm not good at that and feel I should spend more time with God.

It's weird to hear that so many people find that numb place to be scary. I don't. I can go weeks/months without realizing that I've numbed out, and time has passed without me participating in life. I like it. Although, because I am now in my forties, I see that I do miss out on things, and have chosen to participate more in life. If it weren't for that, I'd stay "out of it" forever, and be quite happy.

I like the suggestion someone had earlier about listening to Christian music and stuff. Perhaps, just purposely sitting down in a quiet place and reading a short Bible passage and praying will help you feel God's presence - if only for a moment.
