• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

i received a verse that said gods angels with protect me but im wondering if these angels would stop me from trying to kill myself

God could stop you from killing yourself, He has stopped me in the past. Something for which I am very thankful now. :thumbsup:

However God has given us a free will and this means that God respects our choices - even the choice to doom ourselves He leaves up to us.:pray:

It is best to choose for life though, for this is the purpose you have been created. Do know that with God you can overcome the hardships of this life and be transformed into a new being through the work of His Spirit.

To fight back against depression and to overcome it is great. This is something I'm finding out after many years of depression, I love God for giving me the will to live again. To have love, faith and hope again, so much better than being down the dumps. God has worked this in me even though medications haven't worked for me.

Please go to God for help to fight against the need to kill yourself, suicide is a terrible force to have to fight but His life is so much better.

angels are created beings and are subject to God, to carry out his will. I agree with Jeshu's post, God could intervene but he does give us free will. When you are hurting, run to God, he is always listening and wants you to talk to him about everything.
"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28.
I will pray for you.

dear jeshu thank you for your helpful answer and sharing your own experience, you have a kind and loving heart. your kind post made me think how god has sent you to stop me from killing myself. i suppose there is an evil one trying to convince me to die and god seeking to convince me to live

There are also the rotten angels who allied themselves with Satan.

And then there are the demons too... different beings than angels, but no less rotten.

To the OP: these folks got it right--whenever those dark thoughts surface, no matter where they originate from, be it from your own sinful mind, whispers from a bad angel, a demon, whatever, whenever it happens turn to God immediately.

When those dark moments hit, put your focus immediately on Christ. Put your trust in Him where it belongs.

He'll get you thru it.

Please hang in there. There is plenty of hope for you with Jesus. This world is cruel I know but we can try and make our tiny part of the world a safe place by praying to Jesus for strength and courage. I need to do that a lot. I often suffer from crippling anxiety myself. Do you see a doctor? I have found it helps and seeing a counselor helps, too. Do you have access? You will find that everyone in this Recovery forum are very kind and caring and will help support you to go on. I can't promise you but I bet there will be many better times for you as you go on one day at a time and praying to Jesus for help and guidance. "This too shall pass" is something that has helped me in hard times. Many of us here are suffering so you are surely not alone brother. God bless you always in all ways! Praying here.:crosseo:
