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 have tried, but sometimes its really hard to feel like he is actually therei've asked the Lord to comfort you. Did you tell Him all about it? i hope so. His loving grace is a real healer of wounds, even if they are ugly.
Peace

Psalm 102:1-2...Hear my prayer O Lord, Let me cry for help before you.Feeling depressed for the third day in a row. i'm feeling very sad and have been fighting bad life full on. My good run seems to have ended. Blah! blah! blah!
Psalm 102:1-2...Hear my prayer O Lord, Let me cry for help before you.
Do not hide your face from me In the day of my distress. Incline your ear to me, answer me quickly when I call...
Hello, Good to hear you feel much better...the important thing is that we have given another day to keep going, to seek Him, give thanks for our lives and continues in our journey of Faith....as long as we belong to Him then we are able to keep going in this difficult life. We can be overcomer Not on our own But Him who strengthen us...i did climb out of my rut, feeling somewhat flattish and drained now but much better than the other day. Thank God that my illness cycles in and out at least sometimes i get a break.
How is everyone else going.

God bless for His great mercy on us....
Amen brother, amen.... we His children must give glory and Honour for His His great mercy....he puts us through a refining process so our faith can be grow mature Not like a baby, and He knows the limits because He created us...So true brother, so very true in my life. Even the down days often bring me God's good life, finally depression has good purpose in my life, for if very bad brings very good then bad is bad no more. It is almost like giving birth, the baby is worth all the pain.
You know in my deepest pit Jesus carries me in His arms now. It used to be the most terrible desolate times ever in that mood/state of being. i used to cry for my mummy. Longed to die with an unholy earnest passion. Yet Jesus made such times my resting place in Him.
i have learned to see that some of my most passionate prayers for other people hurting has come from me during such times. i have tasted the hidden manna. i love how Jesus rules my life.
How blessed can one be? Jesus is my all time hero. i love Him with my life.
therefore brother as Paul puts it in 2Corinthians12:10....That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I'm weak, then I am strong. ..

I know, even i don't like going through suffering and pain...and I think Paul also gone through the same thing.. But as his faith grew more he began to feel the grace of God more and more through his ordeal. So we keep going praising God for the marvelous work He has done in our lives...It is very true that He is strong when i am weak but unlike Paul i don't delight in my weakness and hardships, i much prefer my better days.
It looks like Jesus is not finished with me yet.

Yes, He will mould you become like Him...always the plan for mankind to be like Him....
Yes brother, Our Father the Creator of All Things, The Ruler of the whole Universe there is No other But Him Alone...take pride in our heritage as children of the Most High God...Humble and all!
