• 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'm surprised you haven't had 100's of responses to this discussion already. ;) I think that most people are hurting in some way, to varying degrees. At times in my life I've been at that 'barely functioning' level of hurt, and am so thankful that I've gotten past that. Time really does heal all wounds - just more slowly for some of us.

Right now my hurting has to do with friendships - two friends have recently dropped me. They're different situations, and one is a lot more painful than the other (we were closer friends over a longer period of time, and I don't know what happened to change that), but on any given day I can find myself in tears over either (or both) of them. I'm not very good at letting go, but am trying to stay in prayer about it and concentrate on the people in my life who want to be there, putting effort into those relationships.

Saying a prayer for you.

Love in Christ,
Jess

i feel like you right now. i thought i found the person i was going to spend my life with and people keep getting involved. to the point where he might even possible get fired for being with me. after a year and a half of knowing me. a year of dating exclusivly, he's done with me. i'm pretty sure he feels im not worth the trouble. i feel like the world is against me

Yep...was there like 2 weeks ago...but you know what HELPS IMMENSELY?? Worship music...just worshiping God in the car or anywhere...instant healing =] You feel His presence so close to You and you realize that nothing is as important or beautiful.
