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 actually had those thoughts a couple of times. Don't lose hope like that. Christianity will survive. Ideas as great as it can't just die to appease whoever. Christianity is just ,owing from the west to the global south, and I am optimistic about its future.
Yes (I got it when I was still a Christian at eighteen, it was something that my eldest brother started when he turned eighteen, and then the middle, and then the third, and now me), and the Assassin's Creed insignia on my ankle.

And why do you assume God is doing nothing? He could be working behind the scenes right now, shaping history with a few seemingly mundane actions. Don't underestimate Him.
You're looking at it from a human point of view. Just because it appears Christianity is dying and being abandoned doesn't mean that it is. All of the people for all time, I'm certain, number far more than just a few million or so. Christianity is alive and well. I once was concerned about the size of the faithful as well, but now I've realized that it's best to trust Jesus when things seem bad, and, well, lean not unto your own understanding. That's kind of what you're doing right now.
Hey, at least you have options. There's not much spiritual stuff I can help out with at the moment in any regard.I need to spend more time in the chapel at work, my longing for children is raising its head again and I must seek a way to channel this effectively. I don't want to end up in the same state as two years ago, with the added thought of getting closer to 30. Perhaps I need to get back into volunteering with the Guides, at least then I could channel my broodiness in a proactive manner.
i'm sorry for your loss.
