• 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 am very "newly pregnant" and am waiting for the stability to take effect. I felt alright yesterday but had to stay home again today because I am sick (pregnancy and flu). This is my fourth time staying home this month. I am getting so depressed because I am looking back at how my husband and my stupid decisions in the last year has cost us many $$$$. We did not discern God's will correctly. Due to this MAJOR mistake, we are in the hole, don't own a home right now, and I will probably have to work FOREVER. I am trying to work right now and my fibromylagia symptoms are coming back, migraines, low immune system, pregnancy (which we are happy about!), etc... I can barely work but I am at a job where the only way to get out of work is to get a pretty strong doctor's note. I just moved to this area and have trouble locating a family doctor and my psychiatrist won't write me a note. This was before she knew I was pregnant. She said it will effect my ability to find a job later.

So, I am worried about the possibility of losing this baby due to the EXTREME stress, anxiety, myriad of emotions...combined with the various illnesses I am picking up at my job...working with kids. So that's that.

If I do get out of this job, then we will have little money due to insurance. At least I will be taking care of myself. I just need some serious prayer right now because I feel so ill (phsycially and mentally)!! Perhaps tomorrow I won't feel depressed like I do today.

This stinks. How am I going to do my stressful job while taking care of myself and my family? How in the world do I get out of my job without going before the school board? When you are on contract, it's impossible in my field to get out of it! I was even told so by my boss when I tried to get part time. I was told basically that I can request but she can ultimately decide not to accept that request.

Praying for you. What about emegency family leave??? Also, I know what it is like to fee like you have spent so much and failled to discern. I learned recently that yes, there are consequences to our sins, but if God expected us to deal wiht it all alone He would have never sent His son. God reminded me, even though my debt is my fault, confessing it and asking for HIs help is okay. It may not be easy to change all of this debt, but God has a plan for this as well and He has forgiven me (1 John 1:9). so I do not have to live in guilt over these decisions. Not sure if I explained it well, but it has sure helped me fight these guillty feelings that our enemy like to keep us trapped in!!!

PRAYING!!!!!!!
