As I said in my original joining post I have been feeling very down lately. I have had a few suggestions about what it may be...job stress...eating too much fast food..but I have found one thing that has relieved my heart some and it's a big part of the reason I have joined this forum. In telling Jesus Christ that I yearn to accept him into my heart and by opening up to prayer and bible study I have found that I have started to feel a wee bit better but not entirely. I have found that lately I have been extremely grumpy - especially with my boyfriend (who I wish to spend the rest of my life with). I have been very short and have found myself quickly irritated by little things that would not have bothered me in the least before. Just wondering if anyone has an scripture that might offer a mental release? Any suggestions on things I could do maybe or prayers? Just looking to go back to being my old, happy self again..

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.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
Something is holding me down..

Hi Equizyne:
I would be glad to share some and maybe others will come along with some scripture as well
Romans 8:38-39
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,
39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
`````
Jesus said, Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30).
`````
Romans 12:1-2
(Message interpretation)
1 So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life--your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life--and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.

Don't become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.
`````
Zephaniah 3:17 Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.
`````
What did God tell you when you asked Him? I know that when I am distressed and I can't put my finger on it and I get irritable, it is usually something that I need to wait on or I want something that is out of my reach and I have no control over except my obedience to Christ Jesus.
Keep us all posted okay?

Good Morning Equizyne,
Everyone of us has issues that we must deal with as we come closer to our Savior and Father in heaven.
These issues come to the surface no different than the drossing of Gold. When we heat it the impurities come to the surface and explode.
Our Father wants us to deal with each issue as it comes to the surface. You are doing the "right" thing by questioning what is happening to you and why.
Look for and deal with the "cause" of what is being manifested. Sometimes it is deeply burried in our past.
Keep reading the Bible and as you do this certain scriptures will pop out that apply to your condition.
We are promised that the Holy Spirit will lead us into "all" truth. He will show you based on how hard you seek the Truth.
Continue what you are doing and the answers will come in due time.
Read the Book of John and then Matthew in the New Testament. In Matthew pay particular attention to the Beatitudes in Matthew 5. Do a word study and difine all that Jesus is saying...
God bless you

Dear Equizyne, Phillippians 4:13 is one I say a lot because it just helps me get right back on my feet any time I am down and feel like I can't keep going. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." It is my favorite verse and a true one at that. I know that you don't feel well and you are feeling down, but please remember that God is with you and He knows everything about you. He will never give you a burden you can't carry and whatever "stress" is causing you to feel this way, you can rise above that if you pray and trust God with all your heart, soul, and mind. I wish you the best my friend, and I will pray for you. Best Wishes. Lily00Equizyne said:

If you'll just keep doing what was working for you, praying and scripture study, it will increase the "help" factor. It really works.

While I have no doubts that reading Scripture really helps.. if after this you still feel down, I would recommend you play some of your favorite Christian music. Music chases away the blues like nothing else does, because sometimes words just aren't enough. I play mine rather loudly because it makes me feel more "triumphant" in battling my woes.
