• 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

ok...so i have given my life to Christ and i know that He is in control. why do i still feel lonley..i am surrounded by good christian friends, but on the inside, i feel so alone. i dont know what to do. every once in a while, i still have thoughts of suicide and thoughts of cutting away at my wrist. i know that is not what God wants for me and i know He loves me. i dont know how to trust people and it is starting to take its toll on me. so please pray for me and pray that God will reveal His saving light to me once again and help me to get out of the hole that I am in.:help: :sigh:

Hey Liz4Jesus, I can relate a lot to how you feel. Sometimes I am plagued my loneliness to the point where I don't even feel like Christ is with me...but he is, always. All I can advise you to do is tell someone you trust. A pastor, friend, family member...tell them that you're hurting and they'll try to help you. I know it isn't easy to let anyone know, believe me. I have had an eating disorder for four years, and came to Christ only last December, but the ED is still there sometimes even stronger than ever. I told my pastor, sort of, he doesn't know specifically what I am fighting, but I know he is praying for me. Ask God to give you an opportunity to tell someone you trust. Make sure you get into the Word, so you can read about how much God loves you, it really is comforting.

Lord, please help Liz see your love in her life every single day, and let her be comforted by your love. Please bring people into her life that can help her deal with her current situation. Let her know how much you care for her God because she loves you and this is holding her back from giving all she has for your glory. Thank you God for your continued guidance in all of our lives.

Liz4Jesus,

I TOTALLY understand how you feel. I'm a Spirit-filled Christian, have been for quite some time now, and I still struggle with depression and loneliness. What I do though is either A.) I write a prayer to Jesus about why I'm feeling the way I'm feeling, or B.) Talk to my youth Pastor about my issues and how I'm feeling and we usually pray together and everythings all better, or C.) I read the Word of God, especially the Psalms because they give me hope to go on and not dwell on my emotions just dwell on Jesus.
