• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

I hope you all don't feel like you wasted your time. I just don't want to go on. Every time i get hopeful and pray, things don't change. I'm convinced that I'm nothing to anyone especially God. Im not supposed to be here and I don't want to stay here any longer for the next painful situation. Why does God keep showing me how worthless I am, just put me out of my misery already ? I just want to die :(

But I'm not a child of God, so any bad that's happening to me is not increasing my faith. It's just destroying me :(

You haven't wasted anyone's time. I still care about you, and what happens to you. I think you're an awesome person.

I still believe God can rescue people from even the blackest holes, because I've been there. But sometimes He doesn't always take us out of the situation right away. You still have to go through it. It was that way with my own severe depression. God didn't just take it away.

I still have hope for you, and have been praying.

God took me out of my depression but it wasnt on my time i had to look at myself and tell myself its going to be ok but i have to work through it. And once i realized that prayer and as well as getting a doctor was the best intrest for me just that life has been amazing and full of gods love. I just wish you can see that people on here do respect you with comming forward and its like my doctor told me want to know how i know you want help its becuase you came forth. Just pray and talk to the lord believe me youll be amazed at what you will feel afterwards. :crosseo:

Thank you :) its just not fair. Everyday I see people who are happily married and are living their careers dreams and I also see children with their fathers. God knew this would hurt me in the future but he let me be born anyway. If I don't have faith I'll just stay in this condition and never get better. It hurts to have faith. I don't believe in love anymore

I'll try praying but I feel like God doesnt hear and I feel like a hypocrite because I blame God for allowing my life to take this painful course.my heart has been broken, I have never had a father,and my dreams are fading away. Soon I'll be completely empty

Yes it's not fair. I understand the feeling, because I had that feeling for a long time. But when you're in so much pain and depressed, all you can see is your own pain. You can't see the bigger picture. And when you need help the most, you just want to shut everyone out and be alone. It's the opposite of what you should do.

When you are in pain, everyone else seems happy and having the time of your life. That's not exactly true either. People just don't express their true emotions around strangers very much. Those people who you see smiling, may be up at night crying because of other problems. It's not always as picture perfect as it seems.

Hang in there, we're praying for you.

I agree becuase life is not perfect for me i can barley pay rent every now and then i am behind on electric bills and i have a child on the way many ask me how am i doing it? I tell them becuase jesus wasnt perfect either with him being blasted infront of the people and at the end paying the ultimante sacrifice. When life has me down all i do is look back at when i was really down and tell myself life is so much more even if it is just men every now and then.

Exactly. I did not want to say it, because it sounds accusatory, but when you slide in a deep depression, the person suffers from self-pity and that is part of why they can't simply get things done, because they are too caught up in their own mind, how they feel and their own sorrows.

In my family, several close relatives grew up without their father or a proper father. One father abused the mother, sometimes beat the children as well and locked them out of the house. He had children and women everywhere. Another father was similar, minus hitting the children. Not sure if he kept women on the side as well. Another father was at times jealous of his son and died when the boy just hit his teens..etc. They came out fine in the end. You can feel raw about it, but you can't let it rule your life. He does not deserve to have that negative influence on your life.

If you still have a loving family and friends, cut yourself loose from him and appreciate the ones who care :)

About your career is something you will figure out in time. You should not get hung up about that. Many people don't know for sure what they want to do, or change their path. You are still very young. Why would you rush to know exactly what you want right away? You are your own person and you should go on your own pace. Don't compare yourself with others.

You are younger than I am (I had not even finished highschool at your age..=/)I don't have any significant other either and have been hurt by people in many ways (in part because I was naive, too sensetive and didn't stand up for myself). Everyone has difficulties and has been hurt. But that's something you eventually learn to move on from.

In short: you're not the only one with these problems. You can get through it, if you try to to not hold on to the negative things, but move towards change. But you really need to help yourself without giving up. It may seem impossible right now, but you must do it.

Call a free helpline, seek free counseling somewhere. Make use of your support system; your family and friends. Ask them to help you out, because you find it difficult to help yourself and can't afford it.

knw1991, how are you? Have you made the effort to seek help and support from friends, family, church, anyone?

I wish I could find free counseling but I don't know how to. Today was not a good day. I felt pressured and gave my number to a guy last week and today I asked him where does he work. He said he works for himself and I asked what does he do and he says he will tell me later. I have a bad feeling about this and I'm not interested in him. This situation on top of having my heart broken and no father has made me feel worthless. I don't have any relationship with God. I feel like I won'tfind love :( I always attract the wrong guys but I don't present myself in an inappropriate way. I don't even interact with people when I go places. I dress conservatively. Why won't a caring decent guy show interest in me? This makes me feel worthless and like my life is meant to be painful

Everyone does things they regret. You only gave him your number. Not a big mistake. The worst he can do is being a annoyance, since he does not have your address, etc.
If you don’t know how to find help, get your support system going; family and friends. They’re not just there for you for the good times, they are also there when you need them. Tell them you don't know what to do. You need to make the effort to reach out. If you don’t reach out, no one knows what is going on, what you need and how they can be of help.

I also think you are better off not thinking about dating until you have recovered some. Right now, it will not do your date or yourself any good when you add the extra stress of dating.

Brace yourself for a bit of tough love ;) The problems you mentioned (about your career, dad, love life, etc.) are not as big as you think they are. It feels like it is, because it became too much for you. But with the exception of your dad (and even he got his due for being a neglectful dad amongst other things; he is in prison. At least he got punished for the things he did), those are luxury problems. It still hurts like crazy, but they are not as huge and insurmountable as you feel they are. They are the daily, normal problems a lot of people have. Just that at the moment you are unable to cope with them well. So do realize it does not mean you are worthless or that it is the end of your world; that’s what you tell yourself, but isn’t true or the reality.
