• 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 feel disappointed I had a tiny mental break. I am glad I was able to conceal it. I debated leaving work early last night but im glad I didn't.

I was doing good for a while keeping anxiety at bay it all hit my suddenly last night.

I am also dealing with alot.. just keep me in prayer is all I can say.

But even now, I should be sleeping but I cant. I can't even fall asleep though I'm laying down. It's been a minute since I experienced anxiety like this again.

Please pray God will help me.

In my case, I realize that a rationale of fear keeps me in various forms of despair. This often goes over to anger.

Then I realize that the rationale of fear comes because I forget that God is in control, because I think that, one’s destiny is up to oneself, and whether I am sufficient enough or not, to be able to complete tasks or not.

So the fear is the individual feeling insufficient to muscle what is ahead of him.

If you don’t think that you have any capacity to foresee the next moment, but only God has this ability, and you, only mere and useless speculation, I think the fear will not have anywhere to take root.

If you don’t think you have the power to foresee the future, which also, for some reason, has to be a negative outcome, you can instead be thankful for what you have, and what you don’t have, God will provide, and it’s better to be prepared, than downtrodden.

I was wondering why I was having mood swings. But it might be because I go to faith in myself, instead of faith in God.
