• 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

Hi, It's really hard to be without a job and a car. You aren't a loser. Don't let that thought in your head. Things happen and we have to deal with them the best we can.

Since you wrote in the depression area I wonder if you would benefit from seeing a doctor and getting meds if you need them.

I will pray for you and your situation.

God bless you, Tapero

Hi,
How are you doing today? One of your questions is a question that people have
struggled with for years. Why do we have to suffer? I'm really not sure if anyone can really answer that question.
I do know that we live in an imperfect
world where you can go for years and have nothing go wrong. Then, all of a sudden, your world is turned upside down and things seem to stay that way.
The truth is, things happen. Sometimes the bad seem to happen more than the good. Maybe we can turn that around and make the bad work for our good.
Look back at all the things that have gone wrong. See if you can find a reason why those things in the past went wrong.
Maybe in looking back, you can find something that was the cause of that thing going wrong and try to avoid that in a similar situation. The truth is everyone will suffer at one time or another, in looking back maybe we can
find something looking back that we didn't see before, and turn it around so
we don't follow that path again.
Just a thought. As far as God, you might not like to hear this, but God is more than something we try and if He doesn't work, give Him up. God wants us to be committed to Him, learn about Him, love Him. The thing is He can't work in our lives if we don't give him time. Then it may seem like it's taking forever. God works in ways that are so far above ours
we being human, just can't understand.
I'd say, find a good church, a bible
teaching and preaching church. Get to know God a little better. It could be what you find out in getting to know God,
could hold some of the answers you're looking for. It's hard to listen to people give opinions when we're still suffering,
write down a list of things you're looking for in a job. Then try to find them. If you can't it may be a matter of give and take in order to get along on a job. I think the same thing. Why do these things happen? I don't know, but they do.There isn't anything we can do to make suffering and problems go away, we can only learn to deal with them and live one day at a time, and get to know God, who
might not make the problem go away,
but will give us strength to get thru it.
Amin.:thumbsup:

Dear Hoping:

The situation and the thoughts you have are not new to many of us. Somewhere in our lifetime, we, too, have been hit with a series of circumstances. Not just one, but several at a time. Know that there is light if you only press on and keep your chin up and your thoughts positive. Know that your situation is NOT a reflection of you; it is the result of life circumstances. Circumstances are your culprit - not you. When things pull us down, it's easy to internalize the feelings of grief and sadness. In other words, we blame ourselves for life circumstances. Don't do that. You have a family and beautiful children who adore you. I don't have that blessing. I live alone and I don't have children. God has blessed you with the love of family and the love of a child. That is your hope. Let your love for them and their love for you be your inspiration.

I do not know if you have developed faith in God. That is something that you may want to look harder at. When the universe was created, it's creation was designed to support planet earth and life upon it. The cosmos works in perfect harmony to sustain life on earth and the end result is you and I here today to live and breathe and feel love, joy, sorrow etc. No gas explotion could have created that which is before us. The universe cannot go on forever. In a human mind, there is no such thing as infinity. All these concepts point to one thing - a force far more powerful than you and I can ever imagine.

I have come from such tragedy and trauma and can honestly say at age 48 that I wouldn't be here had I not turned to God and developed faith. My whole life came together when I found God and pursued His spirit. Faith is a wonderful anchor and a powerful foundation that keeps us from tumbling over in the temptest of trials and tribulations. I recommend that you look first to the blessings before you. Your children and family and then turn to the spiritual part of you - your soul. Realize you are miracle, your family is a miracle and only a God could create such miracles.

Look up and look around you and above you. All miracles. Do not look down too long. Your vision goes right to the ground and you miss all the blessings of creation.

Creation - don't miss it.​

Things will get better. Pray. Start praying to that which created you and me, your children, and your family. Your prayers will be answered in proper timing. Keep hope and develp faith and the natural course of your life will move to the better and blossom.

Hang in there. Don't let your mind play tricks on you. Life circumstances will come and go. You will remain to tell the story. It will get better. This I know for I will be praying for you and will so many others that read your post.

With Godly love and understanding. We are here for you and praying for you.

Sister in spirit,
Kim
