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.

Dear sister I can't agree with that. All I have seen you do is expressing the incredible pain of suffering depression. It is good to do that, it helps you unravel the clutter in your mind and provides room for others to give support.
Many people on this forum have had times that they felt suicidal, I know I have been through that more than once here at C.F. (Luckily these times passed.) So please don't leave this place but rather keep seeking out help and comfort I know most people that visit this forum gladly give support.
You said this all started back in September of 2011? Are the same things still bothering you?
You need to learn how to let go because whatever is bothering you. Most likely it might be more than one thing by now because you've have depression for awhile. If you don't know what is bothering you, you need to try your best to relax and think hard back to when it first started. Because right now your focusing on the symptoms of depression, but it's trying to tell you something! Your hurting over something and the longer you hold it in the longer it is going to bother you. Right now it sounds like your in survival mode on a daily basis just trying to make it through because of depression and it will be that way untill you learn to let go of the things that are bothering you.
Letting go is the first step to put you on the path of healing and i know that's what you want.
That's good that your letting out what's bothering you, of course the symptoms of depression are bothering you, but dig deeper of whats really bothering you, the source of it, is it your relationship with your dad?
You need to LET GO of those things that are bothering you, especially if they can't be changed, clinging on to those things are keeping you from the path of healing and moving on with your life!
If you don't want to go on in life suffering then you NEED to let it go, all the things that are bothering you and can't be changed-- That's the start of it, the path for you to heal.
I can't even express how I feel here anymore because I'll get in trouble for triggering others, I don't want to leave the house today, what's the point in doing anything
