• 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.

Don't know what to do

This week is already turning out to be horrible for me.

I got news on Sunday night that a friend of mine, Kris, took his own life on Saturday, and I just got confirmation that he is still alive.
And yesterday I got news that a good friend of mine, Tyler, died last night. He was in a coma for a few days.
But it appears today the doctors found some brain activity since he was never disconnected from anything, but they say the chances of his survival are very slim to none.

It feels like I'm very close to the edge again. To the edge of my stress limit. I am seeing a counselor on Thursday, and I'm praying I can hold on to the fragile sliver of sanity that I have left.

:/

I cried a lot last night.
I got the news relatively late last night that Tyler has officially been declared deceased. Its a lot harder when you think someone's dead, but they aren't and you have hope, but then they do die, just a day later. It hurts in so many ways.

I'm seeing a counselor tomorrow, although it has/had nothing to do with this tragedy. It's more to talk about what to do about my drug recovery and my suicidal tendencies and everything.

I kind of want to sit down and talk face to face with someone right now, anyone. Just say everything that's on my mind. Get it all out there.

In case you guys are wondering, thats a picture of Tyler there in my signature.

I'm so sorry for your pain, but I am also very glad that you are doing just what the Scripture says, grieving (a healthy, necessary process), but grieving as one who has hope, the knowledge that you will see Him again. YOu make your Father in Heaven proud.

You will get through this with your mind in tact, just as the Bible says you have been given, "power, love and a sound mind" and the "mind of Christ." Keep telling yourself that.

I'm praying that your session tomorrow is everything you need it to be.

Blessings, A
