• 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 am thankful the sun is shining today.
And I think someone is praying for my health because my head cold went away rather abruptly.
Praise the LORD!

I'm thankful for computers, the internet, and online friends, otherwise I'd be twice as lonely, and I also wouldn't have met my fiance! ♥♥♥

I'm also thankful for hot chocolate and chai. :yum: And for books that catch my interest and hold it. And for soft pillows and relaxing music and silly little adorable hamsters. ♥

I'm thankful for my grandparents, and I need to tell them that I love them more often, because they won't be around forever. :-(

I'm also thankful for the love of my fiance, which seems like a complete miracle... I have told myself all my life that there would never be a man who would love me. And then... he came along... and God has richly blessed us with each other. :) :blush: ♥

Nothing much right now. I'm lonely, I'm fat, I'm lazy, I'm a pessimist, I'm not anyone's best friend, and I can't even care enough about myself and my hygeine to shower more than once a week. Frankly, I wouldn't care if God struck me down dead right this second.

Hannah, sweetie, your post was full of illogical thinking. :hug: And anyway.... you aren't fat nor ugly. And depression makes people feel like shyte, so that is nothing horrible, it just happens, and it'll get better. As far as not being anyone's best friend.... I don't know if I am, either..... but you still have friends and people to talk with, and that's the most important thing. :hug: And anyway... I count you as a close friend, if that means anything. :hug:

Today I'm thankful for Vitamin C. :yum: Orange juice and chew tablets, yummm. :p And I'm also thankful for sleep and kleenexes and comfortable shoes. :)

Thanks, April. I was just having a low moment when I wrote that. I'm feeling much better now and I have a much more positive mindset than I did then. :)

As for me, I'm thankful for fans, air conditioning, and ice-cold water. Can you tell that it's more than a bit warm where I am? LOL.

I'm thankful for sleep whenever I can get it, milkshakes, the anticipation of seeing my fiance (13 days! ^_^), and chai lattes.

(And I think I'm going to go make myself one. That sounds like a really pleasant thing, nevermind the fact that it's 70'F outside. :p)

I am thankful for Jesus!!
I am so blessed and thankful for my kids!
I am thankful for loved ones.
I am thankful for all God provides for us.

Besides the obvious, I am so very thankful that I am not where I was. I think about the behaviors I have had in the past and the awful situations I have been in or things I have done, or things done to me. . . I just have to look up and say, "Thank You Lord that I am no longer there!"
Thank the Lord we do not live in the past..
