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 finished reading the Old Testament today for the second time and I feel good about that. I’m on Christmas break from school and everything is going well in my life but I still cry. I don’t know why I can’t just be more thankful to God and happy.
I suffer from both anxiety and depression but my anxiety is worse.I noticed a lot of people w/ depression r here rather than with Anxiety. hello anyway, i get depressed sometimes as i get bored/lonely.

Your heart is in the right place. The fact that you want to be thankful to God is a better thing than how it feels right now and a blessing. Think of it as God readying your heart for it. In time you will be exactly that, thankful, and it'll get deeper. You'll start to be thankful for things you didn't even imagine, even some of your misfortunes, and not just with words, but in truth. When one's heart is thankful, happiness is right there with it, along with a giving heart, and at that point it's like a cycle that nobody can break. Even if you cry now, you are blessed, and in time you will know it too.
"Blessed are you who hunger now, for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh."
Thanks Tempura
I might have come across in not the best way. My intention was not to spout platitudes, and I didn't mean it that way either, but it crossed my mind that perhaps you didn't want an "answer", but just someone to talk to. So if it seemed like I was just waving your troubles away, forgive me, I didn't mean it, sometimes I just might go on and on about something without really realizing what the other one needed.
I hope you're feeling better and everyone else as well.
Hey Tempura I’m sorry that I didn’t say that correctly I really just meant thank you in a warm way. But we could pm too that would be nice
In pain again. This time it's spread to my back and has stayed there for the past week. Is this because I'm nearing 30? I'm only 27, I shouldn't have this many aches and pains. I have a doctor's appointment coming up.
This semester is going to be tougher than I thought. Have to read daily news, there's daily quizzes in one of my classes and I'm already feeling exhausted, and Friday was the second day of the semester!

I’m under a tremendous amount of stress right now, and guess where I’m hurting......lol! And this from a guy who goes to the gym nearly every day. Ok, ok, I know.
