• 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.

  • 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.

i dont know what to do with myself anymore. i have already had 2 abortions because i'm not ready to have a child and now im pregnant again! there are a few reasons i cant have a child.
1. i become violently ill and may need to be put on bedrest for the last few months which i cant afford to take even a week off of work unpaid.
2. im in no mental condition to take care of another life. i would either kill it or abuse it.
3. financially it is already very hard just to get by week to week.
4. it would ruin my husbands life.
5. we both do not agree with adoption.
6. neither of us will be getting a strong education or job anytime soon.

even though i know all of this something makes me want to keep this child which i know is very selfish of me. who am i to bring a living being into a world like this? my husband doesnt know i feel this way and i dont know how i would possibly tell him since he gets uncomfortable whenever i bring it up at all. i just dont know what to do anymore... i have thought of killing myself but i know that would be wrong too. who would take care of my dear husband? i think thats the only reason why i havent done it. anyways i dont know why im even bothering to type in this stupid place because i know all im going to get back is hate mail and people who "know" im doing the wrong thing. i just had to get it out...

Dear, if someone sends you "hate mail" you let me know and I will get someone to help you with it.

But you do need to know that in this area of Christian Forums no one can write to you anything that would encourage you to have an abortion. They can only write things to try to help you decide not to have an abortion.

That is because of one of CF's rules. Rule 3.5 actually, were abortion can not be endorced in any of Recovery Forums.

I would encourage you to talk with your minister about this situation and get some real life help. I realize that it is hard to reach out for that help but with the stress you are under it sounds like you need to.

Here is a hotline to call as well: 1 - 877 - 949 - HELP .

The fact that you are even thinking of suicide indicates that you may be under so much stress that you might not be able to work through this without help from others. This happens to lots of people.

Well, thanks for at least writing me. I finally got up enough nerve to mention to my husband that I had feelings of wanting to keep it, and he agreed it would be selfish, and we can't afford it.
I feel like I'm dying inside...
At least someone took the time to respond though, even if it was a moderator. Thanks.
Well, I guess that's it. Sorry to bother you.

. . . I finally got up enough nerve to mention to my husband that I had feelings of wanting to keep it, and he agreed it would be selfish, and we can't afford it.
I say take a chance. You may not feel able to take care of a child--but never, NEVER underestimate what God can do.

Years ago I felt backed into a corner and made the wrong decision. I see clearly now what I should have done, but it's too late. There are so many better options.

You would be surprised at what a little determination and prayer will do.
