• 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 hate living.

I hate my psychologist. I hate that she refuses to put me back on sleep aids. It's been two weeks since I last slept and she's only making me write in a notebook.

I have a concussion from smashing my head into the wall repeatedly because my brain wouldn't stop. I'm too depressed and too tired and too wide awake and I can't make it stop.

Over the counter stuff only makes me high and depressed.

I'm so lost.

I want to die.

An don't you dare tell me to pray. praying is useless. god is useless. he should die too.

and this won't stop.

Oh sweetheart, this post has made me so sad. I feel for you so much; I understand living in this turmoil as I have done for the whole of nineteen years of my life. Fortunatly, I am starting to come out of it.

You're not lost. You have people, I'm here for you. I won't let you be lost, I promise. About your psychologist, why don't you change them? I've gone through many and still can't find the right one and ended up leaving entirely!

I'll PM you, sweetie. I really hope you hang in there x

Thanks you guys.

I'm fighting, things get better and then drop down even worse. Yesterday and today have been just...I don't know why I bother getting out of bed.

I spoke with my mom, who works with medicines and stuff and asked her if it would be wise if I was put on something, and she spoke with her boss who recommended me seeing my medical doctor about some anti-depressants and anti anxiety meds/sleep aids (Zoloft and Vistaril, I think?) so I get to do that Thursday.

((((hug)))) I know YOU don't really want to end your life...but you want THIS WAY of life to end for you!

Okay...you are really being tough on yourself. Do what the Therapist says...often helping to write the things buzzing around in our heads helps to clear our thinking, knowing we don't have to work on things or remember if it's written down.

As for sleep meds...why not try natural herbal remedies? Most all of our medicines are made from plants! There are some wonderful teas to drink that help me (I'm allergic to so many medicines I couldn't take them if I wanted to!) Talk to your mom about the teas?

You can also try hypnosis. Ask your psychologist if she is trained in hypnotherapy. This is a good way to learn to take better control of your thoughts, focus upon calming things, and reduce anger, depression and stress too.

If anything is truthful, honest, lovely...think on these.

Try to stop thinking and writing all the negative things while ruminating... if it's needs attention, give it a minute and then tell yourself, done with thinking about that.

Don't worry about praying--though God is there and interested--call out to Him as much as you wish, even if sad or angry (Come let US reason together...) Your friends here will do the praying for you. :hug:

You haven't always felt so terrible...you've felt better in the past, and will again. It might "just" be hormones that have dumped in and taken you for a tumble. :(

Thanks everyone. I'm trying.

Without talking to my psychologist, I went to my doctor and he put me on some anti-depressants that's supposed to help me sleep but there's been no change. I think I just get sadder.

@LiberalAngel: Why yes it is.

Lord, I pray that you put your Spirit into chaoticfirefly, to take away her suffering, and give her true consolation and power from on high. Lord, you are love, which covers everything. You fulfill everything. You are the true Light. May we all be a living testimony to your Light.
