• 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.

I'm tired of the sermons and hope that God and Jesus will save me. They're all lies. Whereever I'm going to go it won't be with them. I've been waiting for this moment my whole life. Born to die. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I'm gonna go and suspend myself from my ceiling now and I don't care anymore about anything. Pleasure, love, happiness, girls. It's all as temporary as my life.

Your'e right. Pleasure. Happiness. Girls. Those all please self (well, marriage pleases God). Those are all temporary things.

Jesus is not temporary, Jesus is forever. The love of Jesus is forever, and He gives everlasting life!

Hey Broken Machine,

May I ask what your name is? I don't like calling you Broken Machine because you're not a broken machine. Anyway, I understand that life is hard (understatement of the century?). I have been through tough times as well, but nothing like what others have been through. My ex fiance was raped 15 times (once gang raped by 3 black men), she stripped for a living, used coke for 8 years, and had a self-esteem of nothing. If there is anyone who has been through hell and back, it is her. Do you know what she's doing right now? Well she changed her life around completely. She has a job as a swin instructor now, she has quit all drug use completely, and even all her prescribed meds. She has accepted Christ into her heart and is one of the most happy little angels I've seen in a long time. With her horrifying past, she still has changed her life and turned to God. She is truly a new person now and it's amazing to see such a dramatic change in someone.

I tell you this as an example, because you can do it too. You can change your life around for God and be happy, content, and at peace with everything. You have the power to do it. Don't let depression rule you like so many do. It's more than just a chemical imbalance..it's a state of mind, and state of minds can be modified and molded at your will. All you have to do is act.

My ex fiance (catherine) changed her life around beginning on one day...the day she opened her heart to Christ. While she was being prayed over, she finally gave up her will and handed her life to God. At this moment she was overwhelmed with a sense of love. God changed her life around, and He can do the same with you, if you just give your life to Him. And please, I implore you, don't give your life to Satan by killing yourself.

I'm too much of a wimp to do that. I just fantasize about it all the time. Day in, day out. I'm just a coward who can't do anything he wants. Don't worry about me, don't even think about me. I'm someone who would purposely hurt someone for his own pleasure of being pitied. I'm nothing. Meaningless and here only to pester and annoy the meaningful.

I just hate it all.

Machine,

I know you may not see it right now, but there is so much to life, letting depression rule you can only keep you from it. I realize it is easy to be overwhelmed, life can get crazy at times (I know ALL too well). This is when you need God the most. He can get you through anything. He's gotten me through the most horrific experience I could possibly imagine. He is strong, and he cares for you. As do we. It is encouraging that you are here, ask us for help. A lot of us have suffered and made it through, and we can help you get through also. Don't give up, and feel free to ask anytime if you want to talk.

God loves all His children and He wants you to be happy and feel loved. It can happen my friend. Just give it a try. Try asking God for guidance, sincerely. Pray to Him whenever you get the chance. Try going to church and place yourself around other people who believe as well. They will help lift you up, since we all need each others help in this life. Try to "act" like you are not a coward, and you will eventually become strong and brave. Be persistent and sincere about your efforts. Ask God what it is He wants you to do, and if you don't get an answer, ask again. When you get an answer, do it. It could be an idea that pops into your head, it could be the words of someone else that strike you in some way, or something you read, or whatever. If it is an altruistic act that requires some effort and love on your part, then it's surely from God. Listen to Him and act, and you will not go unrewarded. Read a bible..this always helps when you feel lost and out of ideas. Just sit down and read...start with Mathew in the NT. Mathew is a great gospel to read, and clearly shows us how we are to be like. I can assure you, if you try to imitate Christ in any way you can, you will change your life around completely. Years from now, you will look back on this day and wonder what it was that you were thinking.

I really wannabe dead. I don't desire hope or a future. I only want death so it can all be gone. Everything I know will dissolve in the abyss. Alone and nothing. What's wrong with that? What's wrong with not wanting to see the light of day? Any who do not desire conformity are singled out and prosecuted. I don't want help 'cause I just don't care anymore. I won't ever care again. I really just want to be dead. Curse me with a fatal heart attack that will end it all. Give my life to one who has no insight, no knowledge except what meets the eye.

Hey BM,

Maybe if you shared your problems specifically, we could try and help you...Please, talk about yourself, your situation, your outlook..what's your history? do you see a phsychologist? what meds are you on, if any? Was there any one circumstance that happened in your life that cause you to crash like this? Have you been like this all your life, or is this a new mentallity..I think if you share some info about you, we can be of more help. We're not professional phsychologists or doctors, but professional Christians. Where there is a soul in pain, we can be of help. Use us.

I only want death so it can all be gone. Everything I know will dissolve in the abyss. Alone and nothing.

I don't want to scare you, but nothing in this life is remotely as bad as eternity in hell. Alot of Christians believe that if you take your own life, you will go to hell. It won't be "nothing".

You can pull out of this bro. Remember, satan cannot tempt us beyond our capabilities to resist (as stated in the bible). We can always pull ourselves out of anything.

There is a reason why people go through bad experiences; to learn and become stronger...for whatever reason, you are going through a very great and deep emotional and spiritual crash. You are at rock bottom. This is the time to pray and build your foundation up even stronger. When you come out of this, you will be stronger for sure, and have much more of a grip on things. Maybe you were meant to go through this, in order to help people going through similair situations. Who knows. But I do know this: God makes a business of turning tradgedies into triumphs. Let Him.

It's called clinical depression, it's a mental illness, like social phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder, etc.

Suicidal thoughts/tendencies are a symptom of this illness (depression).

I know you said you're sick of hearing about chemical imbalances but everything you are saying here is text book depression, I have it too, I feel exactly as you do at times, you are not alone.

Please tell your parents how you feel and ask them to take you to a doctor, or go by yourself, they should do tests to find which medication should work for you and it will help. My friend suffers from sever clnical depression and she feels exactly like you, she even cuts herself, but her parents sent her to a doctor and she's on medication (prozac I think) and it does help her alot.

I was nearly gone.

I had stopped talking to friends, stopped eating much, stopped caring about things that I once enjoyed.  Even my dreams had turned dark and disturbing.  I began to seriously contemplate suicide, even using one of the best accomplishments of my life to facilitate the most spectacular and certain death.  It was a great setup.  I had no friends around to stop me, and had nearly convinced myself that any tentative pain and torment beyond this life would be far less than the current pain of life.

I gotta be honest, I don't know why I went to my doctor.  I guess it was my instinctively stubborn nature and defiance of limitations.  The doctor has me on something, I forget what it is.  That is part of what helped me.  The rest was support from people in my church (funny, I say that like I have finally found a church home).  I had been there before, but the next Sunday people seemed to completely surround me.  I can't explain it, but that God was guiding them.

Broken, I don't know if my telling you this has helped you any, but hopefully you can see that I've been there.  Life is tough, but you are not alone.  God is always there, and so are we.  Give it a try, reach out to God and to us.  Definately see a doctor as well.  Reach out, my friend.  I am here.  :pray:
