• 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.

Here I am again, struggling with just living. Not only do I have anxiety disorder, but I also seem to have symptoms of OCD and depression and it's all getting worse...it's no wonder my mind feels like such a mess more recently.

After I started spending less time on CF in March, I felt so much happier for a while that I thought simply spending too much time here was a lot of my problem and things would get better. But then on May 14 I suddenly fell into a terrible bout of depression that lasted for eight days. On May 23 I started feeling somewhat better, but I'm still not right. I'm still feeling kind of down a lot, sometimes for a reason and sometimes for no reason. I feel unhappy about so many things that never bothered me in the past and can't seem to control it.

I tend to feel unhappy because I'm tired of being bored a lot, of doing the same things every day, of not having enough time for things for some reason, of being way too impatient, of never sleeping well, of not feeling well/like myself, of not being like I used to be, etc. Many things that I used to enjoy and find fun now feel more like a chore or I don't feel like doing them because they're the same things I always do, for whatever reason. I don't know why I feel that way but, I don't want to. I really want to change, but I just don't seem to have the strength to do it.

That's my venting/ranting for now. Can you please pray for me? I hope that things can still improve somehow soon.
