• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Not sure if it's even appropriate to put a prayer request in this section or not, but I sure could use a prayer today.

Having been diagnosed with clinical depression nearly 5 years ago, it's been a constant struggle. On and off again medications don't seem to help. Don't really see a reason to go that route, when I think prayer helps more than anything.

Today's been really awful. Nothing triggered it, as far as I can tell, but it's just been awful. The lonely, gut-wrenching pains; not wanting to BE; curling up and longing to be alone--all the while wanting so desperately NOT to be alone.

Just a bad, awful day. :help: :cry:

I'm sorry your going through such a hard time. I hope that you are seeking out a therapist or someone who can help you overcome this or at least get through it. I tried the last three weeks to go without my anitdepressant medication and I'm going back on it.
I'll be praying for you.

Hi,
I know what you mean about meds. I've had my meds. changed so many times it makes my head spin, and it still doesn't make a difference. It gets to be frustrating wondering if they'll ever find the right medicine. All i can say is what i say to myself. Try and think that maybe right around the corner may be the answer. Try and do at least one thing during the day to break things up a little bit. It's not easy when you think you have nothing to look forward to, but those thoughts are thought thru the clouds of depression, and i know when i feel like that all i can think are negative thoughts. We have a common ground when it comes to meds. not working.
If you ever need to talk, just PM me I'd be glad to listen.
Chuck.

Thanks Chuck!

Today is pretty good. Prayers are KEY! I'm thankful that you've offered me a solace in PMing you. I will keep it in mind. Likewise, if YOU ever need an ear to listen, I'm here!

Hi,
I've been depressed for about six years. Somedays i think things are going fine, then down i go along with anxiety. I kinda know what it's like to need someone to talk to. That's why i say if you ever need to talk, just PM me and i will do likewise. Sometimes just expressing what's on your mind to someone who'll listen and be there for you means a great deal. I don't understand everything about depression or anxiety, but i sure understand it's effects. So, I'd be glad to talk or listen anytime you want. If I'm not here, just e-mail me.
You take care, O. K.?
Chuck.

Hi Witness,
You mentioned about prayer being better than meds. I agree to an extent. Everything is of God even the medicines. If you think they might help, give it a try. It might just be an answer to your prayer. When you're feeling really down if it helps to talk, give me a shout.
Here or PM or whatever, I'll listen. Please Take Care.
Chuck.
