• 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 everyone

I'm almost 30 I'm so depressed
My sister and mom always put me down. Saying how fat I'm I look pregnant I'm married they told me my husband will leave me and find out who I really am. I told them nicely and got mad at them. It just gets worse or I don't reply I get hit. And before I met my hubby they told me I will never get married or move out. And as a child my mom would rip pictures I made she said more junk saying how ugly they were. Or anything I made or did she would Criticize me since I could talk. I can't bare it anymore my self confidence is destroyed I have none. I feel down. Counselling i can't afford it I have a great husband he says I'm pretty I love you. I hear my sisters and moms voice in my head putting me down. I don't believe it

You sound co-dependent to me. Always worried about what someone else thinks of you, to the point it almost does you in.

Have you ever heard of Celebrate Recovery? It's a Christ-based 12-step program, that helps us to work on our selves, and it's always free of charge. I suggest you check it out.

I'll be praying for you, God will never even come close to giving up on you! He thinks you're the greatest, and you are!

praise God that you are made in his image, God has never been in the business of making junk. hold tightly to the words of your husband, love on him and receive his love back. Take some time to pray for your sister and mother, pray everything you would want for yourself for them, then the glory of God will manifest in your life for all to see. joyce meyer has some awesome, God inspired teachings on you tube check them out, and just tell yourself daily how beautiful you are, God bless you

Dear mebby02,
I am praying for you right now.
You are a sweetheart, you're a child of God and He loves you very, very much. I'm sorry but, -your mother and sister are stupid people! and very bad! Please do not take anything they say to heart, or even listen to them. Get as far away from them as you can.
God sent you a loving husband, that's awesome. Your husband loves you-he knows you're beautiful and great! And he loves you, so therefore, you can know that what your family is saying about you is totally wrong! The things your mother and sister are saying to you are evil.[bless and do not curse]God loves you so very much. -in fact, He loves people who are very sweet, mild, and humble.[bless and do not curse]
I am praying for you, that you'll start to see and feel God's Love- All around you, this week. �� -ChrissyR.

I'm so sorry dear for this....No one should have to go thru this abuse......I get put down by my roommates and I finally went to a housing authority and will be getting my own place here soon....I had enough....Your husband is who you need to listen to. And God of coarse......Please is there any reason your still staying with your mom and sister? The reason i ask is if you look at what you can change and believe God that in time He will deliver you.....Than your well on your way to happiness.....I'm 29 and I'm not to fond of it but, hey it's whats on the inside that counts....Please I will be praying for you...That you get delivered and the devil will no longer be able to attack you in this manner thru family.

Mebby, i can hear the pain in your posts and i will be praying for this situation to change! Do you have insurance to cover Christian counseling? I suggest this becuz abuse like this is damaging. You dont have to go forever, just for a time.

Thanks everyone for your support I would
Like to avoid them I work with both of them.
And my parents are still together. All my friends
Have great moms I find it un fair when I lived
At home I would cry in my room. And wishing I didn't have to see them
Regularly at work. I had my bad counsellor in school and said ok
Let's bring your mom in. She talked to her
And said to me some people make stuff up. Your mom is nice the thing is my mom
Acts different around others my husband thinks she sounds phoney. She like sucking up my sister is just mean and hurts my feelings is rude to me.

Hello mebby,
Thank you for being brave enough to share your struggles with us. A while ago, I had someone say to me quite simply, "God doesn't make mistakes. Neither does He make garbage." I never forgot those simple sentences, and oftentimes, they give me great power. God made you EXACTLY the way He planned, and He loves you for EXACTLY who you are. Please always remember that.

Sometimes there are influences around us that are harmful, and we have to be on guard. For me, a recovering drug addict, it meant cutting out my oldest and closest friends who where still using. Perhaps for you, it may mean cutting out your mother and sister. Don't forget, it doesn't mean forever. Continue praying for your mother and sister, for the Lord to change their hearts. Then, trust in the Lord with all your heart. You will be in my prayers.

Spending less time with them will help your pregnancy. The stress chemicals released when you're around them can impact your baby's development.

While the baby is in you, the two of you are one -- using the same circulation and breathing system. Taking care of yourself means taking care of the new friend inside your body.

Set some times in the day when you can't be visited. Tell them you will be sleeping between 2-4 every day, or something like that. Put a note on the door, to come back at 5. They might think that's offensive and ridiculous, but you need your space and rest. Set some terms where they can't invade your space whenever they feel like it.

Doctors often prescribe bedrest when pregnant people are overdoing it.

Oh, I just noticed how old the thread is. Did you have your baby?
