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.

You really should tell someone you trust! You might have to have medication. That is your depression talking trust me Everyone Has a Purpose in life. I was so depressed and feeling kinda' the same way so I told my doctor and she prescribed me medication and I am doing much better now. You could also be under a great deal of stress, that Does make depression worse. No matter what don't give up... Fight! Everyone deserves to feel better. Please Do tell someone and plase pm me any time if you need to chat...im feeling so empty a the moment... i feel like i have no purpose to my life... like i am going no where... like i am worth nothing and... i feel like everyone who knows me a would be better off without me... im scared of these feelings ... and hate feeling suicidal... i want the feelings to go away... to stop... but they wont leave me alone...
im not getting an sleep because i am having all these dreams about committing suicide... or about telling someone about my feelings and getting admitted...
i just... i dunno... am really not feeling good...
i just... i dont know... cant do this...
sorry...
I dont know if i can do it... not yet... im not strong enough... im such a failure ans weakling... i asked my mum to make an appt with my psych for me... (as you already know) but she hasnt yet... and im not sure if she is going to... i cant tell my parents... i really cant... i dont know how to explain my reasoning... but i ... i jsut cant...This is why Im asking you to make that appointment with your psych as soon as you can (ie. this week). You really do need to tell your psych (and your parents). You can do it Bec.

As i said in reply to steffi... i have tried to get an appointment with my psych... but mum wont make it... but even i did get an appointment... i dont think i am strong enough to tell her wat is really going on... i dont want to ruin my chances of finishing school...Steffi is right, you need to tell someone. Please. Suicide isn't something to play around with, even just thinking about it - thoughts that you can't control are scary and you shouldn't deal with them on your own. Make the appointment with your psych asap, and be honest with her about how you're feeling. That's the way you can be the strongest. It may be hard - try writing her a letter instead of having to tell it to her face to face - but it will certainly be worth it. Let your mum and dad know too, so they can help you the best that they can.
You deserve better, and to get better, you've got to be completely honest and get help.
ummm... my exams finish around the 10th i think... i agree... we do need to get together... i miss u sooo much... ummm... im sure if u already know or not... but im not boarding anymore... i am living with emma wilson and her fam...Bec when are your exams? (You can PM me)
We need to get together. It will give us both something to look forward to. We can have the day together, or you can stay at my place, and we can watch girly movies and just talk and laugh.
I'd really like that.
So PM me when your last exams are, or when you are available and I'll see if I can get together with you at some point. Being at school is hard, especially when it seems like you're away from family and stress can make you upset. I'm here for you Bec, you are like my little sister, okay? I care about you, I promise you that.
im trying soo hard to keep fighting but it is just wearing me out sooo much... the road just seems really bumpy at the moment and i cant see where it is going to smooth out... thankyou for you support!Hi beckybooiloveu, try not to lose hope, if you feel sad its ok but what ever you do dont give in to the depressions dark side, stay strong, you still have alot of life ahead of you and right now its just a bump in the road, I get them every now and then but I manage to pull thru, just stay focused, everyone has a purpose in life no matter what appears b4 them, try writing or talking to someone to counterattack the depression, dont be afraid of what people say, your not alone..God and we here at cf are by ur side, if you need someone to talk to, to keep urself occupied let me know, and plz let us know how you are doing. God Bless and Ill pray for you.
Yeh i guess thats true about needing another medication... i just feel like i should wait until i have finished school... i just dont want to stuff things up... im just... i dunno... scared... scared of what will happen if i tell the truth...Bec,
If you told your psych the truth he will get you on better medication. Not every medication will work, and sometimes you have to try another. When it does work, you will be 100% better. And your schooling gets easier. This is the best option, since getting better is healthier for you and it allows you to lead a normal life, both socially and academically. Find the courage, please, and make that appointment, tell the doctor the truth.
