I feel totally abandoned by everyone I know or have known. My family is supportive when it comes to financial support. When ever I speak of feelings or thoughts I get laughed at, as though I'm five years old again. I feel like I was imported from another world and have no idea on how to survive this life. My birthday was four days ago and no one remembered. I pray to God, begging him to take my life, crying myself to sleep. I want to be comforted like a child in their mother's arms. Most days I don't want to get out of bed or even leave my apartment. I'm fearful of everything and everyone. I was abused by a man in the church I grew up in and my parent's have finally left the church. I wish I could find some support but every time I meet people I just want to run and hide. People say, oh just cry out to God or Jesus loves you. Yes, I know these things, been told these things all my life. I leave feeling more empty and lonely than before. I cry out to him all the time. Not always sure what His love is suppose to look like. But I wish I had people in my life. Just a friend to call and say hi or see a movie with. I feel like I am asking too much. Why is this so darn hard!!!

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.

(((((((((((((givenwings))))))))))))))))) I wish I could be with you right now, having a coffee with you and just talking and being friends. I wish I was there for you to call. I know that feeling myself, and also of not being sent even one birthday card. That really hurts.
I also know the pain of being abused by someone in the Church. I understand your total aloneness.
I have no answers, only love and caring for you, from me. I am not going to talk about Jesus or God because at these times I understand how this seems so far away. Not that it is not true, but simply that you just can't key into it.
All that I want to do right now is offer you love. Hugs from me to you, wherever you are at this moment PM me if you want to.

bless your heart dear little sister! may the Lord save you from your thoughts and feelings. may He bring you peace and comfort. may you find support and encouragement here. amen
honey, take every drop, no matter how small, take every bit of love. instead of beating yourself up for this low spiritual season, allow others to lift you up. everyone has low seasons. (different varibles)... focus on one hour at a time. one day at a time. focus on managing your mental and physical health; even if this means checking yourself into the hospital for care. you do what you need. you can do it.
don't let these feelings have any more footholds. force yourself to ask for help locally. (idea) - maybe calling a hotline or your doctor's office. you need to swallow your fear and just do it. your health depends on it. some times we are called to be fallowers of the strong and allow others to care and outreach to us. you are not alone... just get some resources. you are in my prayers! xo dee

Thank you Laurilee, it's helpful to just vent a bit and to know you are heard makes all the difference in the world. It's nice to know you're not alone!!
Goldenviolet, thank you for your thoughtfulness. My doctor asked me to stop seeing her and the whole check ur self into the hospital doesn't help for me, but probably for someone else. I need unconditional love and acceptance not another pill or label to cover up a broken heart. Though these things are tools not solutions to revealing and healing central issues in a real person's life.

No worries, I know you want to help. I appreciate your post, sincerely so. And I don't want to underestimate the use of tools either when it comes to mental health. It's just that different things work for different people. Thank you for the reminder, "taking one day at a time." Recovery is a process, no doubt about that 
Thank you Dee!!
your sis,
Rae
