• 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 registered a long time ago and when recently I received a birthday message from Christian forum and I come back here.

I am undergoing a dark age of my life, and I don't see the end.

I've graduated with a bachelor degree for 8 years but I have never engaged in the field of my profession. In fact, I got the lowest score in the class and I barely learnt anything. And now 8 years after going into society. I have only worked for 2 years in total. For the rest of the time, I am unemployed and stay home. I have been unemployed for almost three years now since my last job.

I could make friends very easily, but I could also break up with anyone very easily and quickly. I am honest and loyal to my friend, I treat them, and I only get cheated from them. They lent my money and got away with it. They did a lot of ridiculous things to me.

For the past three years, I haven't found a job, not even sent out an application letter,NO, not even one. I don't know how to explain to the job interviewers why I haven't worked for so long. But, on top of that, I lack all the confidence in front of people.

In 2012, I started to do some online business in China, everything was one-man-bank and home-basis. I dealt with a lot of Chinese people and I could make some money, but just enough for some bread and drinks, I live with my parent and I am single, I don't have bills to pay and I don't have wife to pay for.

When my 'business' had become a little bit more successful and had started to make some more significant money, I was taken over by China's policy. I didn't do anything illegal, it was simply a non-sense decision. I talked to them, but no way, no reason, NO NO NO. They are simply being ridiculous and ignorant of every discussion. During the time, I had dealt with a lot of Chinese people, and they said, Yes, ''they'' don't need to have any reasons to take over you, rules and law are useless in China, what you need is to learn through the experiences , ''feel'' how they work, and ''work'' with them.

After getting through some difficult time, I returned to the starting point, I continued selling something to Chinese, it was barely a 'business', it was only for a small living. I've developed some circles and some trusted partners. Some of them became my good friends.

But not soon after, and now, I am in the situation that some of those ''trusted'' partners and even ''friends'' went away with my goods, they don't pay. I keep calling some of my ''trusted'' partners and ''friends'' about my money, they even think I am ridiculous to ask for my money.

I know this is the Chinese way, they like to delay things, they like to ignore small amount of money, they like to be very ''slow'' when you want to be ''fast''. They like to ask TOO MANY TOO MANY QUESTIONS before they spend their one buck.

I can't control my anger, I can't control my emotion, I can't deal with this kind of ridiculous people, and you know this is NOT uncommon in China when you have some experience there. I am not doing big business, I don't even have an office or registration. I am only doing a home-scale ebay-like business. I don't even have USD 1000 in my bank accounts and purse, I put my trust to people, to my friend, but please don't misunderstand that I am a stupid nut who will send money to someone I don't know through the web, I never. I know my emotion has controlled me, my anger has dominated me. I know some people are ridiculous, but I also know that I had made some mistakes in the method of dealing with people.

Today, I am under extreme depression, feeling the end of the world, I feel I am betrayed by the world, I feel I am ignored by the world. I felt so stressful about my life and everything, today, for the first time, I went to gamble, I wanted to gain happiness from gambling, I wanted to gain success from gambling, but I finally lost a lot of money.

Deep in my heart, after many years of bad life, I think I am, 30-year-old, though, I am still like a kid. I've made a lot of mistakes, I've been cheated for many many times. I hate myself, I hate that I am putting myself into lots of traps and difficult situation that it should not be. I hate myself that I am being too ''naive' to the people, I put my trust to my friend, I am honest to them but they are just devil to me... I now start to realize that when I am having happy time with my friend, when I am having happy small talk with them, when we are laughing, when I am innocently laughing, the one next to me is in fact planning, watching and thinking that it is not funny.

may i give a little advice? Perhaps your problem stems from trying to live in the world while seeking the Kingdom at the same time. We all do this in my opinion, but it causes us grief. Jesus teaches us to give to everyone who asks and to not expect it back in return. I know this is a hard teaching, but i believe that if we follow Christs words even when they are difficult, then the end will be the fruit of peace and happiness. I struggle to follow His words, but i also find victory in following them. I still have problems that stem from not following the words given by Christ, Paul and the other Apostles, but i press forward and try to take it one day at a time. Anyway, i hope my words will be helpful. May God bless us both brother.

hi, I use blue colour to make the difference.

This week , all the BAD things happen to me AT ONCE, I can't handle my anger and emotion.

This week,

A best friend of mine, who is a best friend of mine for many many years, he has taken away USD 400 from me and he does not reply to my message, whatsapp, anything, I know he is online, but he doesn't reply me with even a letter.

I am not stupid. I don't normally lend money to anyone unless 1. we are good friends 2. I know him well 3. He desperately needs it for emergency.

I hate people, I hate the world. I don't understand, I really don't understand. In fact, now, I don't hate him, I hate myself, I hate why I trust friends, I hate why I am so stupid.

Another friend (who runs a small grocery shop), I provide him products, it is the first time, he doesn't pay me back immediately. He doesn't reply to my phone call, he doesn't reply to my message. I know, I know... I can understand that running a business could be sometimes running into financial difficulties, but I can't understand why A LOT OF PEOPLE in the world do not like to explain things whenever they SHOULD. My understanding is that if he can't do something on time, it is his responsibility to explain things, I can't understand why some people tend to take it as their obligation, or even voluntary work. I know in this world there are all kinds of people doing all sorts of things, but I really feel so depressed and I'm largely affected (emotionally) when it comes to dealing with these kinds of people.

Sometimes I don't know who is right and who is wrong, or even what is right and what is wrong. I know I have problems handling emotion, I can get angry very easily and I can't get through this with even something slight wrong. I think I have some kind of OCD or looking for perfection. I don't know, I am not always like that, but I can be triggered easily, I can '' explode'' myself easily. sorry I don't actually speak English.

When I feel angry, it could last for a couple of hours or days, I can't calm down, and I can't think. I will eat a lot more than usual, and I will eat junk food, waste money without thinking, or even gambling. I just can't concentrate on what I should do normally..

I feel so bad now. I 'already ate a lot tonight (which I am not used to be), I can't sleep, I can't read, soft and comfortable music now means disgusting noise to me. I am now like a spinning motor /engine failing to stop. I hate people, and I hate myself because of the stupidity and repeated mistakes. I don't mind mistakes, I hate I still repeatedly make mistakes to trust people when I am now 30.

I feel so bad, so bad

You did the right thing, That is the beauty of Jesus. He said we will be blessed and rewarded for doing his will. You gave because you felt it is the right thing to do. Christians are in a win/win situation when we obey God. Sometimes people trick and abuse, but Jesus see's what they did and understands our hurt but we still have faith in him regardless. Jesus smiles about this. and if we do good and people accept it, then we get to be a blessing like Jesus and can take comfort in the role we play. Keep your head up and guard your thoughts, there will be bad days but Trust it will be all worth in the end. I will be praying for you!

I dont think you are stupid at all, i think you are going through a difficult time in your spiritual journey. Perhaps God is leading you further into walking the road of faith. I once struggled with all those same emotions, and i was angry too. But since then God has helped me learn to control those emotions and to think in a better way. There is hope and its my honest belief that God is helping you. We grow through trials and tribulation, its where we find what we need. Meditating on the things that the Lord and His apostles teach us helps us to be renewed in our thinking and to grow by that process. Psalms are very good as well, all scripture is good but i find that New testament scripture, proverbs and Psalms help me the most. I will be praying for you brother. May God guide us one day at a time.

I don't want to use big text, but I feel so bad. I hate people, I hate the world, I hate myself. I don't understand what I've done wrong to result in such a life. People think I am extreme, people think I am depressed, or even you guys in this forum will think I have some kinds of mental problems. Hey, I am FAIR and KIND/MILD to every one. I was raised in a small warm family and my mum had offered very good family education to me. I don't understand why when the whole world and the majority of people are actually having problems, the minority kind of people like me are thought to be the problem one.

I LIKE money, but I am not materialism, at least I am not very motivated to earn money by all means. I KNOW all the ways to cheat people, to cheat the ridiculous people, BUT I NEVER, NEVER DO THIS to anyone. I am not rich, I am not generous enough to give out my things for free, but I am always FAIR to everyone and when people give me something, I NEVER TAKE IT FOR GRANTED, I ALWAYS PAY BACK.

What is the result of all these things? I am cheated, I am betrayed, I am not a begger, but I need to beg MY MONEY back like a dog like a begger. But the MONEY IS MINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I ALWAYS queue, but some people (even those who look very educated), they DON'T QUEUE and they DON'T APOLOGISE, when I talk to them about that, their attitude is , are you joking man? Are you joking man!!!!!!!!

I have NO friends and I DON'T WANT TO MAKE ANY FRIENDS. I hate myself, I hate myself why I can't be an asssssshole to those people, why I am still fair and not trying to cheat them when I am being treated unequally and unfairly.

I am a perfectism (I don't know how to spell), I am not looking for a perfect world, I am looking for big wealth big fortune, I am just looking for a little breath and a little happiness. Why is it so difficult?? It's like when a dog barks to me, I step away, but it still likes to chase me and barks to me, it gives me no room to breathe. I am like being suffocated in this world.

I feel so bad..... I hate my life

I AM ANGRY, I AM SO ANGRY....

30 -years-old .I am 30- years -old. 30 years , I have gone through 30 years and I finally realise that life is fixed. What is usefulness of doing all the good things? What is the usefulness of building up everything. There are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS some ridiculous people going to hit it, going to destroy it.

I can get angry very easily, I can't be calm when I am experiencing problems, I can't be calm when I am experiencing hard time. I can't be calm to tackle the problems.

God loves us? Why God makes the world SO MUCH SO MUCH unfair?? I am not saying this because of one or two things... I see A LOT OF unfairness, ...why God doesn't take care of me?

I am a man, I am a 30-yearold man, I am typing this and I am having tears in my eyes now.

I have been a failure guy for many years (at least 10 years since I was 20). I encounter just too many people around, who are very successful, they are of the same age as me, they have their own houses, they have cars, well-paid jobs with grant office, they have lots of beautiful ladies around, they can travel around the world every years..........they have everything.... I have NOTHING, I once had a very stable girl friend many years ago, we love each other so much, but she finally left me because she thought she was too old and she wanted a home that I was not able to offer. She now has two kids but they are not my kids. I have gone through a lot of sleepless night thinking about her, thinking about what's wrong with my life, what's wrong with everything... I FULLY understand the characteristics of those
very ''successfull'' people I see, Their successful is not because they are intelligent, but they are ridiculous enough, they can do things at all costs in return for their wish, they can be friendly and nice to a lot of people, but I can read them, it's just all their tricks for something else. It's the truth, it's not my imagination. Sorry I don't actually speak English, I hope you can understand what I am saying.........

I completely understand the feeling. I am 50 years old and have only been licensed to drive a car for a year and a half now. It took me that long to have an opportunity to learn. I feel far behind others my age, who work at jobs every day, that they drive to, while I am disabled. I haven't even been able to find a volunteer position here locally--my job skills are so outdated, people don't even want me to do them for free.

So I know exactly how you feel, and I sympathize with your anger. I'll tell you what a chaplain told me--go ahead and vent your rage at God. He can take it. He is big enough.

You are in my prayers.

Can maybe you start to do volunteer work in order to build a resume? Can you maybe go back to a community college to develop a skill that you can use to get a job? I went to a four year college, but I left my fourth year 3 years ago, and now I'm not going to get a bachelor's degree. For a while I thought I would go get some job at a hospital taking care of people, but I've now decided to become a bookkeeper. Anyways, what I'm saying is if your bachelor's degree isn't getting you a job, then maybe you need to try something else. I'm starting to barely understand what you're going through. I'm 24 years old, and I've got nothing to show for it except a high school diploma, and an insane amount of debt to pay off. The sad truth is this world is a world of suffering for many, many people. Just look at this website! You'll find countless people in the prayer section and the christian advice section and the depression section suffering like you are. Sure, there are some people that have it all. They are born into wealth, and get a high paying job, but there are many people that don't. I can't imagine how you must feel about the girl you lost.

Thank you lovebirdsflying and orangeness365 for all your kind words

Thank you Christian forum for this place for me to see these kind people's comment.

I can't handle my anger, I can't handle people in real life, I don't have friends but very frankly, I don't even want to have one. I could always run into friction with all kinds of people. I never meet a real friend that worths my trust and respect in real life. When I have money, they try to take away my money, when I don't have money, they try to take away my trust and kindness towards them.

I 've only worked for two companies so far, they were low-paid jobs and the bosses were individuals, they are not big entrepuer. (I don't know how to spell). I RESIGNED on my own, they NEEDED me, but they always gave me shiiit and pushed me to my limit, both physically and mentally. I think I could handle and complete all their difficult tasks, but my resignation was ALL because of the ''mental'' difficulties that I couldn't handle. They were very unfair to me, I worked hard for them but they treated me as a dummy. I didn't talk a lot and they thought I was silence and I could accept the they gave, and so they gave more and more.

For the past three years, I almost always eat alone, breakfast, lunch and dinner. I have serious conflict with my father and my sister. I live with them because I can't afford living alone, but we haven't talked to each other for almost two years. I tried to talk to them, I tried to discuss with them, but they are just the different stereotypes

:( That's sad that you can't talk to your dad or sister. Sometimes you can't, yaknow? I technically talk to my mom sometimes, but it's mostly just her talking and me listening, cuz we don't really get along. It really sucks when you get a boss that treats you badly. Sometimes it's better to apply for another job while you still have a job though, cuz otherwise then you have to do volunteer service in the meantime, which isn't bad but it doesn't pay the bills. I have trouble with friends too. I have my own problems. Yaknow there are a lot of people in our generation that are in the same situation that you are in because of the Great Recession. I spent about 2 years not talking to anyone for breakfast lunch and dinner, and I cracked like an egg. Do you ever talk to your mom? What was your bachelor's degree in? What kind of entry level jobs can you get with it?
