• 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 struggle and have been struggling with my mental health ...my illness could be seen as something supernatural or spirit/ demon like but its not it an illness ...its been many years of medication and threapys but am tired of it its drains me
av tried other ways of dealing it but even that dont work ...am sitting at home with my husband who is my carer who is responsible for me as am not able to look after myself i cant even dress myself some times its rarely that it happens but if anything happens to him i have no one else to look after me my family dont give a crap about my mental health
over the last few hours i have been calm i have been watching tv but right now i just want to scream my head off because the voices and things i see are making things bad for me and i can no longer cope but i have to if i want to live death isn't an option here
i live in pain of these things that my mind made up because i have a chemical imbalance in my brain
my medication has been put up ...hopefully it will help but medication can only go so far i got to do the hard work but one thing is its exhausting being me

I am so sorry you suffer from this. There are many forms of mental illness, a chemical imbalance hopefully is something that can be controlled once they find the right meds. I imagine it is very exhausting, feeling out of control.
Talking about it with others help, make you fell not so alone, especially when you get people of God involved praying for you. I pray that you would be delivered from this, for the glory of God, that your life will serve as a testimony of His love and power to heal. Seek the Lord and fill your mind with His word, in hope that everything is driven out but the Grace of God. Continued prayers

Yes, when we have an impairment our life can be very difficult, but do not give up. Proper meds and good monitoring by either a psychiatrist or an internal medicine physician is important at least every six months. The rest of assistance will need to be within self; and that should not only include a positive attitude about everything, but finding that "...peace that passeth all understanding" in Jesus, the Christ of God. Complete and true trust in God's "...beloved Son" will give peace and care more than any man can provide. This means to receive Him into your heart and make Him lord of your life and best Friend. You may write me at my profile -Conversations, if you wish to chat anytime.

Please read in a sound Bible (such as the venerable KJV) at John 1; John 3; and John 14 for an overview of God's calling to us. Then I recommend daily readings from the New Testament beginning in Matthew and on through Acts of the Spirit and the Epistles. It will prove a blessing and give you much of what can help. We all need the Lord Jesus in our heart to face this world.
