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.

Historically, animals are extremely sensitive to spirits in general but especially malevolent spirits. I think it's something else.I have that paranoid feeling again. I wonder if one of them followed mom home.
Told dad I'm sure this place is haunted. Told him ghosts do arrive unannounced. And they're even more curious about people who crossed the line but came back.
But my animals don't seem to be bothered.
I don't for one minute minimize or trivialize what you are experiencing. Invasive unwanted thoughts, whether actual memories or fears, is a common problem for people on this forum.I just got back in from a long walk. I was so upset that I had to get out. Starting to feel overwhelmed. Facing two old enemies tonight:
1. Rejection.... I've faced a lot of rejection and because of some things happening recently (feelings hurt), a lot of the old rejection thoughts came flooding back.
2. The feeling of everyone passing me in life. I know people younger than me that are married, have a house, car, having kids, etc. I know this is not my standard. My standard is Christ, but sometimes it's hard to not think about these things.
Facing some other enemies as well, but those are two that are the main focus at the moment. Still worried about my brother also. They can't figure out what's wrong with him.
Trying to re-focus my mind on good things and asking God for forgiveness for thinking negatively. But, it's just hard tonight.
Think I'm going to go for another long walk after I post this. I'm still really upset.
I hope you feel better soon.Feeling sick and extremely tired. I didn't sleep well last night and my body woke me up an hour before my alarm clock went off.
I hope you feel better soon.
