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.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Depression does often affect our ability to feel. It sounds like you have reached the I can't cry anymore stage. Rest assured this will cycle past in most cases - especially if you are Bipolar. Otherwise, if you are mainly depressed, medications can bring these emotional abilities back into place again. Furthermore and not so nice is sinking deeper into depression can restore the ability to cry as well, often becoming times of major 'flooding.'
That God may grant you the ability to cope.

My thoughts and prayers are with u hun, Have u tried seekin help for the way u are feeling? And especially if u r self harming, I would talk to a professional if i was you, I suffer with depression and often cry and feel so unhappy and worthless, Its not a nice feelin at all, in the past I have had thoughts of ending my life, But at that point i realised that I needed to seek help, And now I am getting better with medication not for everyone i know but works for me, I am alse recieving therapy now to help with the way i think, I hope things work out for u, And I'm always here if u need a chat, ok?

You've moved from being moderately depressed to severely depressed, which means that you may need to think about taking anti-depressants. If you're already taking them, maybe you could ask your doctor to increase you're dose. Any changes will take about two weeks to start having an affect. Often people are reluctant to take medication as they see it as a failure on their part, but it isn't, depression is an illness and it needs to be treated, dont suffer needlessly when there are things that can help.

God, is out there. Simply, need faith.
I'm going to pray for you. And dealing with depression is really hard, I have been dealing with it for almost a year, and I'm only 15. Please pray and God will help you along the way.

I can also relate to this. But i think you gave the right answer, I would go to your dr. and let him know how you are feeling. My daughter was a self harmer. I and my husband suffer from depression. I hadn't had a about of it ontil last week for many years. God healed me and I believe he will heal you too. This is my prayer for you.
I am lifting you up in prayer, my special friend, If you ever want to talk PM me anytime. My Name is Starr.

a general rule of thumb for meds. If you have only ever had one bout of depression you should continue to take antidepressants for at least six months from being stable, and then withdraw very slowly under medical supervision. If you have had bouts of depression before this time frame should be increased to at least one year from point of stability.
Like catrin (zaksmummy) said, depression is both a physical and mental illness and both go around in a vicious circle feeding off one another. If you can get a book called mind over mood it would be great if not email me from my PM page and I will send you some stuff if you include email address.

I have had depression for close to 15 years now and the last 10 or so years I couldnt cry. The last few months I was getting better and things started getting bad again. In between I could cry. Its really a defense mechanism because otherwise we would be crying all the time. So instead we do not cry at all.
