• 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 found a buddy on here and we used to speak alot. Henceforth I shall refer to him as Captain Obvious to protect his identity.

I'm apparently losing it as I keep getting so concerned about him as he and I are both oversensitive people...I worry about him all the time as he keeps talking about death. I keep messaging him but I'm being snubbed. I've tried waiting it out but it won't help. He has blocked me on MSN. I don't know why as he won't give me a chance to reason it out with him. Please help me.

You are 17. How old is he ?

When you say he keeps talking about death, what does that mean? Has he indicated suicide, or is he simply talking about death?

While it is good to be concerned about people, perhaps you are becoming a little obsessed with it ?

In any event, if he is blocking you, he obviously doesn't want to discuss it, and there really isn't much you can do other than pray for him..

You're not losing it. You obviously are a careing person weather you know the person online or in real life. Right now all you can really do is pray and hope. Maybe send him encourageing e-mails. Let him know that you're not giving up on him. Let him know that you're still there and not going anywhere.
Since he blocked you on MSN why don't you try making a new account and try talking to him on there? Just a suggestion.


Hope I helped

Basically you should only send him 1 e-mail, telling him that he should seek a counceller and professional help.

This because your aren't a qualified specialist who knows who to deal with suicidal people, if you did give him this warning e-mail, then you did everything you possibly could ,and then should just leave him alone,while respecting his choice that he doesn't wish to make contact with you. You might be oversensitive, but you need to know where to draw the line.

Sounds like porkypine's dilema. Problem hits him turns into a ball and sticks his quills out, but he wonder whys no one seems to love him.

Send him last note saying you are there if he needs you. Leave your door open and keep praying. Something he has to overcome. Can't force it on him or his quills will stick out again.

Most likely has very low selfesteam and he doesn't want people to see his true side. I know I did the same.

Also don't worry about him too much, have to put it in God's hands and be ready to do your part.
