I'm really struggling right now. I keep telling myself that the Lord loves me, and that's the only thing that matters. I keep telling myself he'll come through, he'll fix everything, but it really feels like the only thing between me and suicide is my faith (is that good or bad >_> ). I always feel left out at school, feel like I have no friends, or no close friends. Everyone seems to ignore me or doesnt know I exist. They all have their little group of friends, while me, I just don't fit in anywhere. It's like I have a huge "Ignore Me" sign over my head, or a big "Dont talk to me" sign. The few friends I have, one went to Europe as part of our school trip, one is mad at me, block me on MSN and banned me from commenting on her blog, and the other one has been really busy and doesnt seem to want to talk. I feel isolated and left out. I keep reminding myself that Job went through a worse situation than me. Jesus went through a worse situation than me. Many people are suffering worse than me, but I just can't take it. I just wish God would lift this burden from me, give me an escape route from this test. It's too much. Hopefully things will get better after spring break, but I'm still afraid of my friend, the one who is mad at me. I don't know how she'll react. I tried apologizing to her but that didn't really go anywhere...

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.

You shouldn't worry about fitting in. Yes, it's great if people accept you and like you, but there are so many that aren't accepted. I don't really fit in at school either, but don't worry about it. "A good man is his own friend". God does love you! It is bad that you feel suicidal, but it is great that your faith has saved you. If you hurt yourself, things will be much worse than they are now. Jesus did go through much worse than any of us have...and he died for you! Just think, our God died for us. You should rest assured in that; you are special to God, and even if no one in the whole world likes you, the only important one does. I'll pray for you, and if you want to talk, you can just pm me. God be with you, and shine upon you.

The Cycle Of the Soul
No matter how deep a person has fallen there is always a way out.
http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/kes/cycle.pdf
Reading This book saved me from suicide, i think you will find it uplifting.
You know ,everyone emits signals wether they are consious of it or not. And i gues you are already finding out that you have been sending out the wrong signals, and doing the wrong things.
One of the wrong things is that you think god will fix it all for you.
Reality has it that 'Life is what you make it' Celebrate it. Attitude all over in it.
Let me tell you something about God's ripple effect(a typical positive/negative story)
When someone does something bad, it effects everyone. Not just the ones around you, but the whole world and maby even beyond. The effects are far more far fetching then you would previously belief.
It's because everything is like a pond, if you throw something into it its wave will touch everything, which is caused the ripple effect.
Everytime a droplet of darkness is thrown into it the pond gets dark and poisened and miserable , and the effect is felt thru out the whole pond. Everytime you throw a droplet of light and love in it, everyone is effected positive and the pond will light up and be happy.
By helping and loving others, you will get all the attention and happynes you need. Every small act of love is great. Just helping your mom with the dishes , saying a nice word, anything which is love will do. Now this will bring others to be more nice and happy too. Same as the pond. As you do understand this requires ACTION, i therefore encourage you to take action and take your life in your own hands instead of waiting for a miracle that's not going to happen anyway (at least not likely)
Good luck

I wish I could give you a hug, too, ED (I hope you don't mind me shortening your name). I've always felt like I never fit in, not even in my own family a lot of the time. For a long time, I thought that I was a mistake and that God must have made a mistake when He created me. But He didn't and He didn't make a mistake when He created you, either. It is important for us to accept and love people for what they are. It is important for us to be accepted by other people. One of the ways that God reaches out is through other people. That is why it is so important for each of us to see the image and likeness of God in each person and to treat that person as we would want to treat God. Remember what Jesus said in Matthew 25:31-46 when talking about feeding the hungry, visiting those who are in prison or sick, clothing the naked, etc.? Jesus's response was that inasmuch as we did it to the least of these, we did it to Him? It is important to not leave people out, but find a place for them to fit in, at least with us.
God knows you and loves you more than you will ever know. Christ understands exactly what you are going through. He went through all of this too. Please share your suicidal thoughts with your parents or some other adult. Please don't try to handle these on your own. Is there a crisis hotline in your town that you could call and be able to talk everything over with? I've been where you are at--I suffered from severe depression like that about 3 years ago. Please, please talk to someone, and if you need to, take any necessary medications to help you with the depression.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
