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 hard on myself

I am really hard on myself in everything. I am a perfectionist, especially in things I like to do. One of my passions is archery and it doesn’t feel fun anymore. I have a coach so I am going to express my concerns to her at our next lesson.

Easy answer is to quit. But I can’t. I love archery because it’s something I can do despite my lung disease and I am good at it. And it’s in my soul... it wouldn’t feel right if I walked away. And I couldn’t stay away long anyway.

I believe archery is one of the talents God gave me. I hope that doesn’t sound stupid or pretentious.

Please pray that God helps me not be hard on myself, or even speaks to me through my coach.

I’ve asked God to help me not be so hard on myself (in everything) but it hasn’t been helping.
