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.

ah-ha 
... *dee climbs up on soap box*....
for a first-aid kit, you get together a box, decorate it ... personalizing it (or use a backpack or something). you fill it with things that give you comfort... like paper, markers, pictures, letters, jounal, bible or scriptures, snacks, deck of cards etc,... and a list of things you like to do, phone numbers of support, etc. this way, when you feel the blues, you have reminders of what you can do. it helps your thinking.
...
*dee climbs back down*
seriously, do you ever go play in the recreation room?
and... if you are talking more than boredom or stress; if you are talking about purpose... do you know what your spiritual gifts are and ways to be fruitful with them?

Hey golden, you know what? This is almost the same exact thing that was suggested in one of my therapy sessions while in the hospital almost 3 years ago, and I still use it to this day.
Great post, my dear. Great post.

Things of the world are meant to fade like that.
Things of the spirit on the other hand, that's another story. Actually the story is right there in your bible.
Try giving up things that please you for a little while, a fast from those things and devote some time to God.

I agree with Bojax. The things of this world are definitely fading. And a lot of your disinterest in things you used to love is probably because of your depression. I think it would be a great idea for you to spend time with God by reading your bible, journaling, praying and don't foget to spend time with other Christians. Join a bible study group at your church if you haven't already. Make sure they are around your age. Other Christians can help lift you up when you are down and give you strength and encouragement that this world often seems to drain. Please keep your head high and look up to the Lord! He is there for you!
u are in my prayers.In Him,
Trinity
