• 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

Okay, I'm depressed. I just took it out on my boyfriend and then he just... left. I hate when this happens.

I'm so insecure, that even the smallest thing will make me feel ugly, worthless, horrible... whatever. And I always take it out on him (boyfriend). It's not his fault, I know it. But I always end up doing it anyway.

Does anyone have advice for how I can handle myself... umm... so I don't take my stupid frustrations out on people I love, and push them away?

This happens every few days or so. I'm fine and then... I'm so depressed that I want to die and take everyone I love along with me. >_<

I know *exactly" how you are feeling.
I feel the same way. Small things get to me and I get easily frustrated with people.
You know what helps?
remembering your identity in Christ. It seem slike something so simple, but it's really the basics.

:hug: when this happens. your relationship does not sound healthy.
I'm so insecure, that even the smallest thing will make me feel ugly, worthless, horrible... whatever. And I always take it out on him (boyfriend). It's not his fault, I know it. But I always end up doing it anyway.
:hug: instead of thinking this way; trade it with the thoughts about Jesus sees you. how much love does He have for you? He gave in His life up for you, and you are His Bride.:angel:
Does anyone have advice for how I can handle myself... umm... so I don't take my stupid frustrations out on people I love, and push them away?
:hug: sweetheart you are young and passionate. you are learning or you wouldn't reconize these these. go easy on yourself in this area. you are only 21 and most woman need a few more years of practice with emotions/ and work on other issues before you feel more incontrol.
This happens every few days or so. I'm fine and then... I'm so depressed that I want to die and take everyone I love along with me. >_<

:hug: you are doing somethings that are not in God's will and you are angry. you also have had some really unfare things in your life, and you are angry about that too? life can full of more hardships because of our anger.:hug: go easy on yourself. you just handle being wounded by fighting and biting. you are probly so very gentle when there is no stress? i'm the exact same way.
i'm over 30 and still work on my 'passonate nature' ... God's love will heal you.
this is something you will just need to be easy on yourself about. if you are hard on yourself it will promote your anger. if you are gentle and keep doing what you are doing: admitting it and talking about it with the people who will let you; God will help you work it out.:angel: ... but you need help in changing your outlook and thinking. give it to Jesus.:hug: love and prayers, dee
