• 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

Everything was great for a while. And now I find myself back where I was in the beginning. I don't know why I feel this way. I'm starting to have panic attacks again. I've lost all motivation to keep trying. I no longer care about school. My grades have slipped so much that even I'm surprised at it. I've done poorly on my midterms, and what sucks the most is that I don't even care. I mean, I know I care, but at the same time I just... don't. I have no energy to care. I feel like there's no place I should be. I hate being at home because I don't feel like doing anything. I hate being at school because I have things I NEED to do but I just don't have any energy to be doing it, and then I get frustrated, then just stop caring all together. I just feel like throwing it all away and leaving it all behind. I don't know what I want anymore. I want to be something somewhere, but I just don't know what... let alone even care. Why don't I care? Obviously I know I should... but it isn't there. I feel empty. Completely void of emotion. Things used to be so good. Things last year were great... I remember thinking "How could I have felt so depressed before? How did I ever have those thoughts, or those feelings? Why did I feel the need to do those things to myself?" Now I find myself thinking "How could I have felt so good? How did I ever NOT have these thoughts, and these feelings? How could I have NOT done these things to myself?" I feel like crawling out of my skin... I don't want to be here, or there, or anywhere. It's like I'm lost in the middle of nowhere. It just, sucks.

I can strongly relate to you. I was the exact same way as you are one month ago. My grades were completely slipping mainly because of all the heartache i felt in one week(went from a 3.5GPA to a 2.7 GPA this semester)..i went through so much in one week that I couldnt take anything anymore(and im sure something probably got to you that caused you to care but not care about school and stuff).

Sometimes you might feel that way because you might be completely exhausted as well..exhausted and run down from school. But I urge you to stay strong!

What were those things last year that made you feel great? Maybe you need to try and bring those feelings back to present time.

Is there anything you love doing? That each time you do it, it makes you happy and makes you feel uplifted and alive? Like for me, doing things around my church helps me take a break from reality and help others more in need.

I know its hard to break out of how you are now and try and do something..because the feeling of complete nothingness. But I do hope you try and lift yourself up no matter how hard it is.It will pay off in the end. I almost lost a bunch of good friends over my choice of letting my grades slip (along with doing other things..like SIing and stuff). That gave me the drive to push myself up.

Things wont be like this forever. I pray that God grants you the energy and strength to pull yourself up from where you are now and have a happier life!

+God Bless+
