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.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

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.
Depression Tips and Scripture, too

Hi Ruth,
Great tips to overcome depression and like to add, talk with your family and mates and discuss your problems with them. Workout regularly and watch you eat. Accept the things you cannot change and practice giving back. Avoid alcohol, smoking and caffeine and have proper sleep.

Everything is difficult before it becomes easy.
I like this sentence because it helps me when I feel down and want to give up. I hope you like it too.

thinking about the present not the past or future, be aware of every breath i take helps me do this.
letting thoughts come into my mind naturally weather they are good or bad, and then thinking weather or not i agree with them. If a bad memory pops into my head of the past don't resist it or it will find a way out and it will make you suffer more from it.
instead of trying to ignore the thought i let it freely come into my head then justify it
Accept reality for what it is, do not resist suffering or it will make it worse and deal with the best way possible. Be real and true to yourself don't hide the bad/weak things accept that they exist but deal with them and turn them into strengths.

When you wake up in the morning or whatever time say "I am going to have a good day today!" Sometimes this helps me.

Having pets or rather I call them my family, has really helped me. I needed to be needed and so did they.

Yes, I have chronic conditions so I do have relapses. They make me feel depressed and other symptoms of my illnesses. I try to not forget to take my meds and to pray to Jesus for guidance and try to be upbeat as much as I can to make myself feel better. I also try to help others if I can and that gives me satisfaction that I reached out to someone who is reaching out and suffering.

Thanks for being so honest. I believe that you helping others is contributing greatly to your healing. Its nice to see this topic being discussed so openly because its such an oppressive thing.
I've learned to identify triggers in my life. Taking it one day at a time really helps

One day at a time is a great thing to do! I am going to try going back to the support group I used to go to. It used to help me a lot. Support is a great thing to get online and or offline.
