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 feel depressed.
All I want in a normal life. Why did God think I was unworthy of it? I keep asking this question at church and the best answers they can give me are cop out answers.
How can God be good when some get an abundance and others get the raw deal?
Life without disability, having a job, having a social life, getting married, having my own house, not being treated like a child while in my twenties, having a childhood that isn't riddled with hospital visits and psychology appointments, not having to take medication in order to feel like a normal person, going to parties, getting an education, not being crap at everything except for a handful of things, being able to have skills to put food on the table...
Basically everything neurotypicals take for granted that I have to work a million times harder to have. You NT's live very charmed lives and yet still see fit to patronize me by telling me that there is no normal.

I lost 64 pounds and gained 40 of it back. I don't like myself right now. I have a serious addiction to sugar and just...can't stop eating. gluttony is a sin...I know it's a sin and it's an addicting sin which I'm having a heck of a time abstaining from. Satan sure knows how to use our weaknesses against us. Ugh.. so ashamed of myself.

I apologize if I seem really angry right now.
It's frustrating because I have all these questions about why is my life is like this and what God is planning to do about it. No one at my church can answer them in spite of all their claimed spiritual gifting. It seems to me I just have to wait to die or get raptured in order to sit with God and have Him tell me why.
If God will allow it, I'd love to live another life on Earth without the disabilities and dysfunctional family. I'd prefer to be born no earlier than 1970 and live no later than 2012. I'd want to live in Ottawa instead of some small town in the middle of nowhere with nothing to do but drinking and fishing. I'd like to just live life without having to prove myself worthy of basic human kindness most NT's take for granted.
One can only dream.
I wish I could trade lives with a NEET as my funds for neetdom are gone. Life is funny
