• 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 on the brink of suicide...I don't know what to do anymore.

All my life I have been hurt and abused by people, including myself. I used to live in a small town in the middle of Kansas. Recently my mom and I moved to here to Colorado. We lived with my brother until my mom found a job, then we bought our own place. Now...she is losing her job, we are thousands of dollars in debt, my past is coming back to haunt me, and the car got stolen...My mom and I used to have a good relationship, but not we are always yelling at each other.


Everyday is torture, I am in so much pain. If I could leave this world today and forever be with the Lord, then why should I keep suffering like this? I'm losing trust in almost everyone...I feel all alone.
Everyday I hope for these feelings to end, but they just get stronger. Hope is for those with something left...

The only thing that has kept me alive this long is church. But I don't know how much longer it can sustain me.

I don't really know why I am posting this...I guess this is just my last cry for help...

Please do not kill yourself!!!!

Sweetheart, I am sooooo glad I came upon this message. It definitely is a cry for help. I think you may be suffering from depression- at least that is what it sounds like to me. You say that you abuse yourself: are you self-injuring? If the answer is yes, then you need to get help for this. It's not a problem that will go away on its own.

I've been where you are. I've gone through suicidal phases myself. Last year, I recall an episode where I looked around my apartment for places from which to hang myself. Not a good thing. Currently, I am on medication and in counselling. The meds so far have not worked, but the counselling has helped somewhat. Perhaps these things will work for you as well.

If you need to talk, I'm only a pm away. Please don't commit suicide- it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.

Take care, sweetie.

Rosa :hug:

You must know and I'm sure you do that christ is always with us even we think he isn't. I had bad times (of depression) too. But I just continued believing in God.
I'm sure everything is for good and don't forget that it's God's will (I always say it when I pass hard times and it makes me feel better).
I hope God will help you but remember, there is no place in heaven for persons who commited suicide!

Book of Job is a great one. I liked it very much and it shows that everything is God's decision.
Good luck in your reading:amen:

Ultimately I don't think the book of Job is the best place to go.

Psalm 147:6 - "The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground."

Also know that quite a few of God's prophets were at times suicidal. God made them ultimately to realize that suicide would be a self-righteous act, and not God-honoring. If you truly want God to be pleased with you, you would not kill yourself!
