• 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

Going through a hard time lately, need your prayers

Hello everyone,

In the past few months I have gone through a series of anxiety and depression. I am more suffering from the fear of bad things happening to me when the evidence of it happening are very low. I presume the worst scenarios are going to happen to me and i fear that my life will be ruined if it happens to me. I have been seeing psychologists and doctors who have been helping me but I feel the only way to be completely healed is through God. I sometimes feel as though I have no future any more. I'm so destroyed at the moment and i'm writing this while im at school because getting through the school day is almost impossible (i'm 17).

I ask that you please pray for me to recover from my paranoia and fear because I will feel better knowing i have your's, and God's support. Thank you so much everyone, I appreciate it very much.

If you have read down to here, thank you for taking the time. Please post below to tell me that I have your support. Sorry that it's long, i'm just desperate for help at the moment.

You do have support here :hug: and there will be some who read and pray for you but don't post too. :) you aren't alone.

Stick with your psychologist ok? God uses experts to help us. God will use you as well, right... at some point in the future, whatever job or career God calls you to, you will use it to help others in some way. So what I'm saying is to be fully healed, yes, we need God, but He nearly always uses us on earth to be vessels for that healing process.

BTW I think it would be good to make sure you get an annual physical check up (maybe you needed one for school up to now) because the hormones our bodies dump during time of fast maturing can really skew our thinking and feelings!

Praying for you.:prayer:

It is hard to be depressed, I know the fears can run rampant. It helped me enormously when I realized that depression fears always lie to our mind and it is best to ignore them altogether.

Love is what counts so make sure you get plenty of that into you. God's love is by far the best and most reliable so drink in His love for you.

You are still young you will get stronger over time, don't give up on the loving bit and stand your ground against the fears.

:hug:

Hi dear! I'm here if you need help or need someone to talk with.
Definitely, God will heal you. And I will pray for your healing. :hug:
