• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I am feeling suicidal because of my past abuse. I have suffered alot and I should not have gone through what I did. My abusers told me I should just kill myself multiple times. I know they did not care about me. I feel suicidal because of the bad things that have happened to me and feel I may be better off dead but I know killing myself is hard and I wont do it.

I wrote to you on your earlier thread, but I do not know if you saw it, and it seems the thread is gone now. This is my first time posting on here, so maybe I do not know what I am doing...I hope I know if you write me back.

Feeling hopeless is a natural reaction in your situation, but you must not let yourself fall into despair. I know you are struggling to believe in God right now, but I believe that He does desire good things for your future.

Is there someone you can call and talk to on the phone about this or meet in person to encourage you? I would strongly suggest you reach out to someone who can meet with you and who you know genuinely cares about you.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. Believe it or not I used to feel the same way. I was molested as a kid and the person who did it kept telling me I was worthless and nobody cared about me so I wanted to end my life. I struggled with the thought of suicide for 15 years, but I see what suicide does to the loved ones who are left behind. I've had 3 friends to commit suicide and it's not easy watching the loved ones. God has a plan for u remember the verse Jeremiah 29:11 "for I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper and not to harm you." You have a reason to live. If you need anyone to talk to I'm here for you I know what it's like to struggle with this.
