• 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

"Be still and know that I am God"

Take a short time off from studying and just talk to God and ask Him for His peace and ask Him to help you concentrate. Getting stressed won't help you do well. You can only do so much studying with the time you have so just do what you can.
Maybe try taking something to help you sleep because you won't be able to study well if you're tired.
You haven't wasted space on the forum, you need help and we're here to encourage and support you.
I've been writing exams too and it hasn't been easy. I've felt exactly how you're feeling too. PM me anytime.

Hi Beckybooiloveu

Darl, I really hear and understand what you're going through...I went through it when I did my year 12 exams and I know it's horrible. As u r also in Australia, I thought I'd just see whether you know about applying for illness/misadventure for exams and overall assessment?...that's the only way I got my year 12 because, like you, I wasn't in a good mental state. You only need a medical certificate and/or a letter from the school counsellor, or your personal counsellor (if you have one). Hang in there. Sweetie, what you wrote in your posting sounds so much like me at your age and it brings a tear to my eye because it is such a horrible feeling. But you know our loving heavenly Father, which i didn't at your age. It's a long battle...one I still haven't won, but it will be worth it because God puts us through all these horrible trials to make us who He wants us to be. Just remember, as you cry, Jesus is with you; as you lie awake fighting the urge to hurt yourself, Jesus is there fighting with you through it all.

Praying for you. PM me if you like! Wishing you all the best.

With love Concrete Angel

Why do you think you're having the nightmares. Sometimes if you can figure out what's causing them,
it'll help get rid of them. It's not a waste of time. When you have problems it's best to find an answer. Do you think it might be the stress of the exams?
Chuck.

You are not wasting anyone's time. Your life and who you are is significant and that is what this forums is about is to express our feelings.

There is hope and you will overocome. Don't look at the mountain but only look at one shoval at a time. Take step by step and realize the Lrod is there to help you and lean on him.

A good scripture is 1 peter 5:7 "7Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." He really does care about you and wants you to give your concerns, worries to him.

Peace be with you.

Hey Bec

I'm sorry, but the only one of these problems I can really empathise with you on is the constant nightmares. I have nightmares all the time too, never any good dreams anymore. I know how that is but I want you to know I'm praying for you for all of your struggles right now, ok? That's all I can really do for you right now Bec, I'm sorry that I don't have any ideas to offer as well...

and if you need to talk i'm always open...
