• 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 come back here and I remember how awesome threads like this are; they are a refreshment for me and allow me sometimes to reconcile with God when I just can't do it on my own.

I am thankful for Christianforums.com. Praise God.

I'm thankful for the color red, oxygen, bears, tortilla chips, nebulae, electrons, cheese, gasoline, water, fusion, puppies, squirrels, tomatoes, and so much more. Anything and everything that you see is an item to be thankful for. Every emotion we have we should be thankful for, for God has given us the power to have emotions. In all things, all things, ALL things - give thanks. Give thanks if your child suddenly dies. Give thanks if your house gets foreclosed upon. Give thanks if you have developed cancer. Give thanks if you have been used by evil people.

Mat 5:10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Mat 5:11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
Mat 5:12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

I am thankful for my boss and my job! Look what my note my supervisor gave me today in a thank you card!

Shara,

I would like to thank you for everything you do for us. You, by far, have the best attitude out of all the team members I have ever supervised in my seven years with Target. Your productivity with the repacks is exceptional. You make our time at work enjoyable. Joe

:blush:

If I ever get depressed again, I need to read that. That battles any depression or self-esteem issues, don't you think? :D

I'm thankful that I haven't given in to any of my thoughts of suicide or of running away and living on the street. God has definitely blessed me with good amounts of strength and common sense.
