• 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

:pray::hug:I am praying for you dear sister-in -The- Lord. I have some understanding, as i have had bad depression many times in my life. God has always brought me through. God is our Helper and Deliverer. He is always with us , even when we do not FEEL that He is . God has promised to never leave us nor forsake us. God's grace will always be enough for us. Our God keeps His promises, and He can not lie. There is no darkness in Him. :groupray: I will ask others to pray for you ,too. God says in His Word : When you go through deep waters,
I will be with you.
When you go through rivers of difficulty,
You will not drown.
When you walk through the fire of oppression,
You will not be burned up;
The flames will not consume you.

Hi Ann
Im sorry youve been low of late.
i have no idea why...i couldnt possibly know...i will pray for you tonight.

just a couple of small but quite significant things which can improve mood on a practical level

water..2 litres of clear filtered mineral water a day...dehydration does bring with it depression symptoms. a nutritionist shared with me that when we are thirsty it actually points toward dehydration...he said for optimum body/galnd function aim to drink 8-10 glasses throughout the day..one an hour is a good guideline...that way the body is not overloaded and it is comfortably replenishing and gaining nourishment throughout the day.

its just a little thing...but can make a big difference.

lots of love to you and big hugs...its not easy feeling sad, but it isnt the whole picture about you. you have so much more in there. its just blue for now..and in that place, ..whe it happens to me i see it as a hole...in the hole with me is Jesus...He is well ableto get you out....but its you He's interested in...He not only has the will to get you out...but He has a way...just made for you..with you in mind. He cares about why you are in this. You are not alone..tho at times it may feel that way...pain does do strange things to the thoughts.

As i said ..i couldnt know the source of your depression and health issues...but i am praying for you and care that you are feeling this way.

I too have had lots of low times...unbearable ...and yes its true ..sometimes one speaks trying to reach out...its as if one is speaking in another language and no-one seems to see or hear the level of what is being experienced. i say this..just in case th e identification is of some comfort.But Jesus isnt far away, He's right there now with you .

i found out a little thing.

the word 'with' comes from an old english word which is 'withe'...a withe was a cord used to bind two people together, by the wrist usually.

so when He says 'I am with you'.......

rooting for you Ann :groupray:

I just want to say thankyou everyone for all your prayers and encouragement.It means so much to me.
I am going to many specialists for tests,and am also going to see a psychiatrist on the 22.

Do you go to the ask a chaplain forum or pm them?

Again I just really appreciate the love and prayers and encouragement from all of you.

I am trying so hard to overcome the extreme emotional pain and confusion.Plus I am having severe pain throughout my body and have been going for many awful tests to see if I have cancer.It is all just overwhelming.The past two years have been the worst in my life.I cry so much.Please keep praying for me.It means so much.
Jesus Bless You All
