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 know this may not be much help for you right now, but I do want to encourage you. If you have read any of my past posts, I have been really close to committing suicide. I even gave God a "deadline" to cure everything or I will be dead. Well, obviously I am still here and I just want to encourage you that God does provide a way for you to find hope. For the last battle with suicidal thoughts, a friend of mine that was studying abroad last semester called me up and we went to dinner together, and he showed he cared for me. He will provide a way of hope for you. Ever since that day, I have felt a lot better, and even my suicidal thoughts are decreasing daily.
I don't know your situation exactly, but I thought I would just encourage you to press on, and I will be praying for you. God bless!

I'm all too familiar with this. I suffered from extreme suicidal ideation in 2002. I also have a mood disorder. PM me if you want; we can discuss this some more.
In the meantime, I'll be praying for you.
God Bless,

i keep getting thoughts telling me to cut my wrists or take some tablets. I just want out of this isolation, the only time i feel good is in worship at church but when i come back home i feel really heavy and oppressed and sleep for hours and i wanna get up and do something but cant lift myself off the bed.
poppy said:thanks 4 ur replies, i just feel so low and isolated, i seem to have gone past the stage of wanting to carry on anymore, i find it hard to even post or try and contact people. i have had so many knockbacks and let downs, i suffer from social anxiety and avoidant personality i live most of my life in isolation i can go days without seeing or speaking to anyone, just feel so lonely and i cant seem to get out of this depression, i wake up with it and throughout the day it can go for a bit but then come back real hard.
