• 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.

I am severely depressed, and with good reason. My brother died a week ago, and we have been through the funeral and viewing and everything. Now, we are cleaning out his apartment and that is really breaking my heart. My mom is being a trooper, but she is also difficult to get along with at times.

I have to return to work on Monday, and I just do not have the strength. Please pray for me to have the courage and strength to keep moving forward. I just want to spend a day away from everything, meditating on the Lord.

I am in therapy and on medication, so I am being taken care of by good professionals for the depression.

Hugs,
Trish

Oh, Im so sorry to hear that

I will definetely be praying for you. The hardest part of losing someone is always after everybody leaves and life has to return to normal. Remember that God will NEVER give you more then you can handle, and He is walking right alongside you holding your hand and guiding you through this difficult time. I pray that you and your family will feel His presence throughout this difficult time.
