• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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 have recently been diagnosed with bpd following another trauma in my life and if i am honest i'm struggling to go on. It feels like a life sentence. Feeling hopeless and fearful evey day and then crumbling when things break down.

Why has god made me so broken? My faith is struggling with this

God didn't do this. Sin did. God allows humans free will and sin caused the genetic, environmental...........problems that have brought this on you. God wants to pick you up and carry and coddle and help in anyway He can (without breaking any of His laws for Creation, that is).
People with BPD do much, much better with treatment for a period, and then they can have a satisfying/fulfilling life. Give to His Creation. Help in small or big ways anyone you can. Follow what Christ taught to do. His commandments and caring/sharing/giving to others as much as you can. Do accept help (He may have put it there for you). Then follow Him very closely.

Yes, I do understand also (my grandson got this diagnosis). It's amazingly hard! CF is here for you.:prayer:

Hi Charlie,
You may not known or feel, that the Lord suffers with you. Your pains He also endured with you. He bears daily with you. Does He not feel broken too, that you have not believe what He has done for you?

For He has given His life for your sins, yet, you have not repented daily and seek His mercy that you may have hope.

Are you willing to draw near Him first to know how He love you through suffering and pains?

What have you prayed or talk to Him to get help ?
