• 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

My depression is starting to show itself through a huge amount of anger. I hate myself, life, work, school, friends, family, sports, nature, even my talents.

It is not rare for me to scream at the ceiling in bouts of sobs trying so hard to understand why I am here. The problem also is that guilt comes along with my hopelessness.

Everyone does not understand and declare that I must have "A bad attitude." I will have to agree with them, these feelings have settled into my very soul.

Dear appointed,

Many people don't understand that depression is just a really hard thing to deal with. Sometimes you will get angry for one reason but when you are alone let it out because bottling it in doesn't do you any good. Have you ever tried to figure out what triggers it. I know it isn't always easy because I get angry sometimes and I don't know why but it is good if you try to find the reason because it sometimes helps. Venting on here I found is a good way also.:D Just hang in there. God loves you and knows what you are going through right now but you can get through it. Best Wishes. Lily00:angel: :clap: :prayer: :hug:

Phsyical activity is a good way of letting your frustrations out. As goldenviolet mentioned, playing sports is good. Also, working out in a gym or at home can make you feel good as well. This happens because when you are either working out or playing sports, your endorphins kick in. These are natural pain relieving chemicals in the brain that also help relieve depression. Also you could try getting a speed bag or punching bag for dealing with feeling of frustration.

Meditation is another thing that may help you. This is simply time set aside where you try your best to either focus on God, or on nothing at all. This helps train you to block out negative thoughts. At first it may be difficult, just remember that if your mind starts to wonder from what you are focusing on just refocus once you have realized it is getting off track.

May Christ and his peace dwell in you.
