• 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.

Blue please get help, baby, please. I know what i'm talking about here. Mom's are sometimes ignorant, they see their children as perfect. There is no way children can live up to the mother's expectations. Right after I became a Christian (almost 10 years ago) my son tried to kill himself. Looking back, there were so many ways I think he was trying to tell me about his depression. The type of depression you are experiencing is real, and you need a counselor who can help. Please get a Christian counselor who will pray with you while your going through your issues. There is light at the end of the tunnel even though it doesn't feel like it right now. Pray constantly, and remember, when you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on to the fact that Jesus loves you, even as you feel now.

Father God, please strengthen your child blueinverson during this time, send the Great Counselor to fill your child with that sense of peace and protection that only your Spirit can give. Father God, open the eyes of blueiverson's mother and let her see her child needs her now. Most of all Father, provide the necessary help to your child, protect your child from attacks of evil, and lift blueiverson up into your sanctuary of peace during this time. In Jesus name I ask these Lord

mhhh I can identify with the messing up..guilty & roller coaster feelings....
whew.. I'm struggling a bit with this at the moment..but ..well
ya know.. even when you feel like 'messing it up'..... whatever the consequences are it won't ever divide you from God's love & that means a lot :) I'm sometimes telling myself God's love is 'enough for me'
(do you know that song Your love is amazing ? that's a bit of what I'm talking about :))but that's one topic I am pretty confused about.... still place all of your fears in God's hands he's always in control and can save the 'desperatest' situations.
He'll always carry you thru and get you out...... just try to love him....
well here is the tough part for me at the moment aswell but definately keep praying over this..ask God for wisdom, & whatever you need to overcome this, He knows :)

about the feeling guilty part....

I John 1:9
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our
sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
(NIV)

I am sharing this verse with you today to encourage you. I meet so many
teenagers who have given up. They tell me that they have a love for God but
feel that they have failed him to many times. This verse simply says that
He will forgive us our sins, in this verse he didn't put a limit. This does
not mean we have the right to go out and just go hog wild and sin up a
storm. God knows your heart and if you are really sorry, he will pick you
up and purify you. Satan would love you to believe that you have failed one
to many times. Satan wants you to believe that you need to give up. Don't
buy the lie Satan is trying to feed you. Get on your knees today and tell
God that you are sorry and get back on your feet. Jesus loves you and wants
you to keep on fighting the good fight! Don't give up!

I got this today..was struggling with this today...... same thing keep telling God, he'll pick you up :)

well Be Blessed & keep it going sista :)
