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 getting all scared now - due to go out in ten minutes to pick my mother up and we are meant to be going to a garden centre with her pushing me. I am just a bit scared of it. She wanted to take my mind off tomorrow but she is so volatile and I get worried about it all. Plus my body won't behave LOL
I wish my body would behave.
OK so do you want to know what the miracle (s) is and are?
OK - FULL story:
So, we went to first garden centre and we got parked up and couldn't get in cuz they had put loadsa tubs wiv plants and flowers in right where the disabled parking was - so Bob shouted one of the assistants and told them to come move them as it is a disabled spot and he let em have it LOL
Anyway, they were real good after that and we got in great. My mother was pushing me but the assistants had now become angels of the Lord LOL. JUST LIKE THAT lol.
We had a look round but we then came to part of the path that was done in some kind of stuff that my wheelchair would not go down and it was downhill so my mother could have let me go so easily and I would have fallen out of my chair. But then a lovely lady dressed all in a beautiful lime green and black outfit and it was sooooo bright and cheerful - just like HER !!! She immediately came and took over and pushed me down the slope. We wondered how we were going to get back up it but wait ...........see what happened.
We looked round some more and then I said I wanted to go for a coffee. FIRST TIME IN TWO YEARS THAT I HAVE EVEN THOUGHT OF GOING INTO A RESTAURANT/COFFEE SHOP. I WAS NOT WELL ENOUGH TO. !!!
Anyway we could not get back up that hill again and SUDDENLY THERE SHE WAS AGAIN - THE LIME GREEN AND BLACK ANGEL lol
She didn't only push me up the hill but into the restaurant as well and deposited me at a table LOL
Yes SERIOUSLY brinny !!!
Antway so miracle number 1 - going into a garden centre and into the restaurant and meeting angels of the Lord LOL
We sat and had coffee and it was LOVELY and I was so relaxed and there were BEAUTIFUL plants and flowers to look at outside.
So then we went to another part of the centre and I bought a candle for my mantelpiece that I am making into a sacred spot in my house. The assistants were angels of the Lord again, - helping me and fetching me candles etc.
We bought one and then went back to the car.
We then decided to go to another garden centre as we were on a roll by this time LOL
We got to the second garden centre and I suddenly said "WAIT - I am WALKING into there on my walking frame." Mother and hubby were amazed LOL
I did it. I walked in there on my walking frame - no wheelchair
the assistants were angels of the Lord again cos they got me a chair to sit on when I got out of breath.
The assistant placed me right near to some CDs and I saw one called Celtic Spirit and I WANTED it LOL so I bought it ha ha.
Eventually my mother finished looking round and I got up out of the chair and thought "BLOW it - I AM GOING TO WALK OUT OF HERE UNAIDED."
AND I DID lol
I picked up my frame and carried it and walked out to the car.
MIRACLE OR NOT?
