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.

it was really hard, its been my first full day out today. i didnt really feel upto facing thembut i didnt have a choice wen they turned up at my aunties (which is where i am stayin at the moment) as its down the road from the college. it wor me out, and i was really glad to see them haven't seen them in just over a week. but it was difficult to face them after i hurt them so badly. i just wanted to relax today but i maned to spend an hour with them and it cheered me up. i am not allowed back to college yet but i want to go in tomorrow and get some work. so hopefully tomorrow will be as good. i am just taking one day at a time.

That sounds wise. I know how it can feel to be worn out AND cheered up by friends. Confusing, isn't it?katey said:

i can't really take it any firther than one day at a time because my moods are so up and down, i can be feeling fine one moment adn really low the next they are just so unpredictable.yeah they did cheer me up, it was really hard facing them tho, and i ddi cry afterwards. and yes it is soooo confusing. i thinks thats partly why i cried when they left because i couldnt figure out whyi felt both worn out and cheered up.

*nod* that's fairly normal.
'Take it one day at a time' is a very sensible approach... not just because you don't know how you'll feel one day to the next, but because just looking at what we can do TODAY helps keep us from feeling falsely overwhelmed... and the bible agrees!

hey,
erm today didnt go to well. i got up didnt sleep that well had a few really bad nightmares. the community team came around to see me. and we talked about things. i didnt want to talk about what had happend but they said theywanted me to. so i felt bad afetr that. i managed to go into college. but i had a panick attack the first time because of the crowds of people. i went back in again wen it was a little quieter.i spoke to some of my teachers, some of them were a bit of with me didnt kno how to respond to me i dont think. they all seemed to kno tho even those who dont teach me. btu they know me because its where i went to school. it was so hard to face them. it was even worse walking into the common room. the whole room just went quiet. luckily a mate broke the silence for me.by exploding a can of coke accidently. but it felt like even after people stated talking again everyone was staring at me.

Wow, it took a lot of guts to go back into the school after you had the panic attack.
It definitely feels weird when you have to face people after coming out of the hospital. I was hospitalized last year because adderall caused me to have a psychosis. To give you an idea of how crazy I went: I have been told that at one point I was on the floor growling like a dog. I don't remember doing that -- there's no telling what that was all about. So, anyway, when I came back from the hospital, I was so embarassed because my parents had told EVERYONE and I didn't know what my neighbors and other people I knew would think about me anymore. People will be careful or quiet around you at first, but then they'll get over it and things will go back to normal after a while. Just keep taking it day by day.

i didnt really have a choice in going back in my cousin sorta dragged me and said if i didnt do it then i wouldnt do it at all. i didn't realise everyone knew. but it had ben mentioned to them in an assembly and they were told that wen i returned it would be hard for me and they had to all support me and stuff. i wasn't old this until afterwards because they thought it might upset me even more.
i have beenin hospital loads of times for other stuff. but not for this. have been to ane for si but never kept in for it. but it was as if i had a green face or some contagious disease the way they looked at me i felt even worse wen i got home. i just want to keep crying all the time and curl up in a corner. its so hard. i didnt want this to happen.

Everyone have a peachy day....
Thanks. Hope you have a good day, too! What kind of dog do you have?
As for me, yesterday was a good day. I got up early, did some volunteerwork for my church, and then spent the day with my Mom. We had lunch together and saw a movie. Today I haven't done anything yet -- I am planning on going to church tonight and hopefully working out.

I have a Yorkie teacup. She's my baby girl. I have t-shirt, jackets, car seat and purse I carry her in. Let's just say she's a spoil little bratt. Sometimes I take her to doggie day care so she won't be bored at the house. Every time I tell people this they think I'm a snob but I'm not. I just don't have kids and she's like a baby to me.
Do you have any dogs? If yes, what kind?

Well, I don't think you are a snob! My dog is spoiled, too
He is a Cocker Spaniel.I still haven't really gotten anything done today -- I decided to just go to church tomorrow morning. I did clean my room and get some laundry done, but that's about it :/
