Today I am feeling empty, hollow, numb. Perhaps this is the backlash from the fact that I had really started to feel a week or so again and then I had to deal with disappointment and sorrow. I don't know.

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.

A true original.
We're here if you want to talk, sweetie. I understand the feeling of emptiness and numbness ... it'll pass in time. We've just got to get you through this period of emptiness and you'll be back on your feet and ready to face the world again. I don't know exactly what happened - if you want to elaborate I'm sure people here would be willing to give more advice and support and comfort - or if you'd rather not, that's okay too. Just know that my inboxes, either PM or email, are always open. Praying for you, gorgeous, that you will get through this bad spell alright. Take care of you.

Dearest Bella Sometimes there are just no words to say.
I know the pain and frustration of feeling
empty, hollow and numb.
As SoulWings has said...we are here to listen,
support, love and pray for you. And this will
pass...although...while in the emptiness,
it does not feel like it will pass.
Hopefully knowing that others have come out
on the 'other side' of emptiness will give you
some comfort.
Do feel free to pm me.

A Bruised Reed Yet My Gentle King Loves Me Anyway
Bella_SongEmotional health: having total peace about who you are, what you're doing, and where you're going. both individually and in relationship to those around you. In other words, it's feeling totally at peace about the past, present, and future of your life. It's knowing that you're in line with God's ultimate purpose for you and being fulfilled in that. When you no longer live in emotional agony, then you are a success.
So do you think you are in line with God's ultimate purpose?
Of course not, and since that is the case, don't accept this as ' Just the way I am.' or ' I'll have to live with it, because this is as good as it gets.'
God has given you a choice Bella_Song:
" I call heaven and earth to witness this day against you that I have set before you life and death, the blessings and the curses;"
Life, is living in his promises. Life is depending on him. Life my dear sister is believing that God has started a work in you and will not stop until it is finished.
Death, is giving up. Death is believing that God cannot pull you through this. Death, my sister is believing the enemy's lies which say that ' youre not worth it, you deserve it, this is the way I am I can't be healed.'
The blessings Bella_Song is what God is doing in your life. The blessings are the strength that you gain once you put your trust in Him. The blessing is the person the God wants you to become. The blessing is God's handiwork in Your life.
The Curse is depression that never leaves, because you have given up.
The Curse is the lonliness that comes when we turn away from our Healer, and accept the enemies lies.
The Curse is missing the blessings that God has in store for You Bella_Song.
God's desire for you? " therefore, chose life, that you and your decendants my live."
" Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
Bella_Song. I know this is hard. I know that depression is hard. I know the numbness, the emptiness, the lonliness, the pain that comes with it sister. God has promised to take it away from you. Give it to Him sister. Claim the blessings that He wants to give you.
Claim the life that He is waiting to give you.
Use His Word to fight the enemy that is bombarding your mind with these negative feelings.
" Yet the Lord longs to be gracious to you; he rises to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him."
Call upon Him in your distress and He will deliver You. Ask for His compassion, because He wants to give it to You. Pray for His blessings in Your life, they are Yours, ask Him for them. He is gracious, and wants to give you so much more than you can even imagine. And that includes joy, happiness, peace, strength, love....
