• 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.

Hi i just joined this i have been diagonsed with depression which recently has turned into an addition of anger along with it. I feel my life has gone absolutley no where.

I have never dated i am 28 years old never had a girlfriend nevver any of that stuff eveyone else my age has done. I feel as if i am a whole waste. When i go out with work friends it just makes me mad and more depressed i tend to just get really fricken drunk and smashed to supress my anger and dpression form my emotions and if i don't get drunk i am miseralbe and just want to go home and cry. I am a pretty good looking person if i must say so. I just ask why have i been dealt with this. I failed out of college because of learinig diablities and teachers and advisors had it out for me so i have never had a full time job this job i have now i only like because of the people i make 8.00 and hour and i want to quit but then i will be worse off now than i have been in the last year since i was unemployed for the last 4 years the hours are bad and so is the pay. I just beleive that evryone else on the planet has been dealt good things. But me i ask why. :sigh::sigh::sigh::sigh::sigh:

I get severe bouts of anger as well, this one time I was trying to study and I kept reading the same lines over and over again and it was not seeping in. I got so angry I ripped my 300 page text book in half]. Other times I get so angry that I seriously consider slitting my wrists. So I sort of know what you are going though. As for the dating part I suggest doing a speed dating thing. It may seem corny or stupid but it is good way to get out there and meet a lot of women and to test the waters.

Any way thanks for sharing, we are here for you.

Do you exercise? If not, I think exercise would be a good way to get some of those negative emotions out. Also, do you go to any type of therapy? I guess if you could not afford therapy/do not have health insurance, there are support groups out there -- maybe those are free?

People say that depression is caused by anger turned inward. To be honest, I think the anger and depression need to be dealt with before you find a girlfriend.

Proverbs 31:6
Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to those who are bitter of heart.

The Bible says to give alcohol to those who are perishing, to comfort them in their misery. Even God has compassion on those who are lost. What you need to do is get saved. You need to come to a saving knowledge of the truth in Christ Jesus our Lord. You need to give your life to Him and become a new Creation in Christ.

I agree entirely. I was also diagnosed with depression a while back but was determined not to take anti-depressants. I started reading the bible, and then eventually plucked up the courage to go to church. From that point on god saved me and I've never felt better. I made so many new friends and I play football with all the guys every monday. The exercise makes you feel better too.

I also used to drink with riends just to be cool, and to try and be more confident, but I didnt really enjoy it. I now don't drink and feel even better for it.

Trust me having a girlfriend won't make you feel any better either. I have a girlfriend and have done for over two years now. Don't get me wrong we love each other to bits, but there still felt like there was something missing in my life.

Since I found god I feel much better about myself and my relationship with my girlfriend hgas improved, even though she remains an aethist.

Things will get better mate, like JohnRZ says you just have to be saved

Paul and Jesus both teach that it is better to remain single if you can handle that.

1 Cor. 7:1
Now concerning the things of which you wrote to me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.

Matthew 19:10-12
His disciples say unto him, If the case of the man be so with his wife, it is not good to marry. [11] But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. [12] For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

Props dude for going to therapy and taking the meds, dude remember one step at a time.

I will pray that the Lord will lead you to a job, and a good group of encouraging friends as well. We're here too, and ready to encourage:) .

I know what crippling embarassment is, I had it for a while, but just know that God can bring you through it, God can break the wall and break you free. But He won't do it all at once, one step at a time.

And you can combat your negative thoughts toward your self by reading the Word. Don't trust me but trust God, He is the one that will give you the understanding and truth you need to live and yes even thrive through each day.

God bless and keep you safe:pray:
