• 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.

That is how my flu started 10 days on I'm still not better, I hope you will recover quicker than that.
I think it can take at least 3 weeks to a month without any antibiotics, but I hope it doesn't take that long for you. Flus and colds can last at least 2 weeks, maybe longer, but I hope your immune system picks up soon.

I am SO EXCITED about May 1st.... I am going to have my in depth initial pre counseling with a doc who specializes in Cognitive behavioral therapy for my coping issues. Yeah 8 weeks is a while but not really considering this woman is so good that she has a waiting list. You all cant imagine how happy I am! I pray that I do NOT miss this call I NEED THIS THERAPY and I can do it! I have already told my dear close friends about this news first and now i wanted to share this with you all, I am so excited I CAN GET ON with my life! I will keep u all posted! 's

Well, aside from my headphones malfunctioning somewhat (or so it seems, the music is coming out of them weirdly) I'm fine. :) I had this weird thought this morning that I get sometimes which I like to call "gift guilt", but I'm better now. Thankfully that sort of anxiety never lasts for long. But it is giving me this nagging feeling to go learn some stuff about a very specific topic.
Glad things are ok, brother - praying that it continues that way :)

Struggling with frustration over the fact that the more I try and fight my lustful urges, the worse they are. It's practically OCD, with just a compulsion and know obsessive thoughts. So just "pure-C", I guess. But it's terrible. Why couldn't I have just been a normal guy who got some girlfriends in high school and when on casual dates with them? My little brother (he's 13!) is doing that now, how come he got a girlfriend when I never did? I blame my Asperger's. Never knew how to really ask a girl out and so I turned to quasi-inappropriate content to fill the loneliness, and now I've trained myself to covet the things I can't have.

But I've got to stay strong and flee temptation. I want to get out of this and into a healthy opposite-sex relationship.
