• 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.

I felt like this yesterday. Pray! It is Satan wanting you to do this! Jesus Loves you. Try to think of blessings! This is what helps me. I thank God I hav my health, and I go on from there. Think of God's verses. If none of this works, call the crisis Line! I am praying for you- I love you and care! We have to stick together on this.

does your Husband know how you feel?
Can you go to him for some closeness?
is there one positive thing you can focus on in your life right now and aim towards that?
like is there something that you really want to achieve in your life, what would give you purpose?
are you praying? are you listening to the Fathers answers?

tsuriyel,

We are here for you and we want you to know this.

There is "hope" even though at times there doesn't seem to be. It is important for you to share with us because we care.

Many of us here have been where you are now and we got better.

Your miracle is waiting for you...


God bless you

Our Father will never leave you nor forsake you.

This life is full of pain and yet we have a way out if we are willing to listen.

It is to live and help others because we understand.

You have a purpose and it is an important one. It is not given to everyone.

Many times we find that the ones we love the most are taken from us so that we will grow and become stronger then...Our Father can use us to help others.

We must go through everything that we fear so that on the other side we will find that we had nothing to fear in the first place.

Everyone that I ever loved was taken from me in a very short period of time. My mother who was my best friend died in an auto accident. A son died at childbirth. My Uncle died of a heartattack. Both my grandparents passed away, months apart.

It devastated me and our Father healed me. He wanted me to beome stronger so that I could come to you and help you.

You are important to our Father and you are important to me. I am here for you...PM me or let's talk openly on the Board....

PTL for His work in your life!!! Now that you are feeling better it might be an opporutnity to seek the Lord for full healing and guidance about how to deal with the difficult family situations that you are in. Is there someone trained in your church to talk to or have them pray with you? Now is the time to let His healing love and peace flow through you. I am praying that our Lord will protect you from anything like this happening again

God bless you

These are wise words and I would urge you to keep communicating your feelings. We are blessed that we can communicate so easily these days and therefore also encourage others. There are many here who are fellow sufferes and we would like to help you and lift you up to God and bless you with encouragement. :crossrc:
