I appreciate that my husband always give “an ear” when I need someone to listen. He’s my number one supporter and best friend.

Hello friends! Just checking in...it's been a productive day and I feel very motivated for recovery...that's not saying that things don't feel hard, but I am able to push through it and do things that I need to do to help myself, while at the same time practicing self care by taking breaks and...

Hello! Welcome to CF! I am new here, too, glad to have you with us!

Good morning friends! Today I am feeling hopeful...the depression hovers but my God is bigger and stronger! :clap:

Sounds like a very difficult situation....I'm saying a prayer for you and your family right now. :prayer:

:wave: Thank you! Yes...it can be easy to forget sometimes when things feel overwhelming, but we can have an unlimited source of strength to tap into!

Good evening! :) Thank for for all the encouragement and prayers. Yes, depression is definitely a roller coaster ride for sure and there are steps forward as well as steps backwards, but we keep going. I really need to follow your example and get back into volunteer work via church and my...

“For the person who keeps all of the laws except one is as guilty as a person who has broken all of God's laws.” James 2:10 Sin is sin and all of it separates us from God, there is not one sin that God says, “well, that one is a little better so I’ll overlook it because it’s not as bad as that...

Do you feel just as angry about other sins? Sin is sin. Are there any sins you have committed lately - that you feel angry about? All sin should anger us in the same way because sin is sin and sin separates us from God. I'm thankful for the LORD Jesus Christ, who saved me from sin and redeemed...

Hi SpiritSong, Welome to Christian forums...I am new here too.

Good morning friends! Last night I did some self care (colored my hair and did a face mask). I'm having a really bad body image day and feel dread as my body changes as I gain weight...it doesn't help with the depression/anxiety. But I know I have a distorted view of myself and can't rely on my...

So sorry to hear you're having flashbacks and dealing with the trauma all over again. I'm saying a prayer for you, and for those who hurt you. :prayer:

I agree, I think in general nobody really cares and expects anyone to look a certain way but we end up putting those expectations on ourselves likely due to medias influence of how woman (and men) 'should' look. Unfortunately, we are heavily influenced by the media and critical thinking skills...

I really don't have any advice to add, as Aino's advice was good, but I wanted to leave you a note to encourage you. All Christians, I believe, struggle with some type of sin and it's sad that you feel like you can't go to church because of the particular sin you struggle with. I empathize with...

Today I feel like my depression is hovering over my head...recovery is hard to face every day and it's exhausting and I'm worn. It seems like it would be easier to give in to the depression and allow myself to isolate and avoid everything in life, but I know that will only make things worse, so...

Sorry to hear that you had some disappointments yesterday...I'm praying today goes better for you.

I like all these coping strategies everyone has posted about. I am still working on finding ways to help combat my depression...right now, besides my faith holding me up, I'm on medication and I am in treatment and recovering from an eating disorder and ptsd (and all that comes with it)..so the...

A couple of things... I am currently recovering from an eating disorder...my body image has been horrible all my life, and isn't a direct result of societies standards of beauty, however, societies standards have reinforced my already poor esteem as I feel triggered and compare myself to "thin"...

Hello! I'm new here.... I am currently in a partial hospitalization program for an eating disorder, I just got out of residential treatment last week....I've been working very hard to try to turn my life around and handle things differently. The depression/anxiety has gotten better from where...

Hi! :wave: Thank you! I did post a thread on the prayer wall yesterday and have received a lot of support, prayers, and encouragement. :prayer:
