• 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.

just joined the navy, i'm at my first station, made it through boot camp (whew!) and feel completely overloaded with my responsibilities! the worst part is that they say this is the least stressful part in my upcoming career. All of my 'destresserizers' that i normally have, are not available to me out here in the middle of nowhere!!! HELP!!

Are you sure that this is what you want? I mean, being in the navy. Is this where God has called you to?

trust me, this is where i am supposed to be... small miracles have shown me that this is where i've got to be to do whatever it is that god wants me to do in this life that he has given to me. for starters, i really am bad at excersize, and i have to meet certain physical fitness standards. God practically carried me over the finish line on the run. i have to make a certain time on it, and i made exactly that time, not a nanosecond more or less. i consider that a miracle. plus, it was only through his grace, strength, and mercy that i was able to make it through boot camp in my opinion. it was his goodness that got me to this point. so don't even question whether i should be here or not. it is his will for me to be where i am right now, so i know that what i am doing is right. That is just one of the many small things that has gotten me to believe that God has a plan in action for me.
I was headed in a different direction with my life. way different, not like; drugs, and the 'bad path' but i mean a different job, a different home, a different everything. - massage therapy is definitely a separate path - but stuff happened to prevent me from heading in that direction, and so this is where i ended up, and that is the way that god meant it to be.

If you have anything else to say, go ahead and say it, but it better not be something that asks whether or not i should even be here, cuz obviously it is a touchy subject.
