• 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.

Yes you are !

Remember: you have been there before and went throu it..keep pressing, breathing. Drink some water and picture you fluxing toxins from your system...if you can go for a short walk do it. Play a tape with fresh waters running in nature and relaxing sounds of life around renewing, taking it's course.

Jo sweety do me a favor cause this really does work. GO OUT SIDE, IN A QUIET place and just feel the breeze from Jesus you have to close your eyes and pray pray pray with all of your heart, you can really feel Jesus there and he is blowing you kisses, he is hugging you. This works I did this last week I sat on the patio and I prayed in the dark after midnight (5am your time) and I felt Jesus, I really did he was all around me, it is such a peaceful most serene feeling.
ALSO KNOW that I am always there, you can close your eyes anytime say my name and I AM THERE giving you a hug. WE ALL ARE MY DEAR SWEET LOVING SISTER. WE ALL LOVE YOU SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH, don't hurt yourself. I have been there, it is not good, PLEASE GOD LOVES YOU my dear sweet loving sister YOU WILL BE THE TOP OF MY PRAYERS!!!
GOD BLESS YOU LOTS OF LOVE TO YOU {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Don't hurt yourself dear sister, flower is right, we are all here for you. Just think of Abba's loving arms lifting you up. We are all here for you. We love you and want you to be okay. Tell those devils who are giving you those negative thoughts to scat, begone, you belong to your Father and us.

thanks everyone, i dont know how I got through that one, I didnt do anything.. Im seeing my therapist on Thursday. Though I wont b able to afford going to see her every week from now on. It does so help talking to someone. Dont know wot to do about my anti-depressants thing also, because we are trying for a family, and the fluoxetine that im on, is not under one of the ones that are safe during pregnancy. i dont think I can bear going off and starting new lot. So I have to make a decision, the doc said that there is a small risk if I stay on them when I am pregnant. I also maybe homeless too soon, friends having probs. We would have to find somewhere else to live. Please pray for us. love to u all Joxxx

Wow Jo, so much news here, Oh my goodness, I don't know where to begin. First I am so happy that you are going to start a family soon, OH wow Jo you will make such a wonderful mom, I know you will.
Now about the homeless thing, I am going to tell you what we (my bestfriend/roommate and I did). We sold a lot of clothes, I pawned a lot of jewlery that was given to me as gifts, if you have any electronics that you don't use try to pawn those. See if your country can help you. I KNOW here in America that if you are pregnant that you can apply for Medicad and then you can get help medically. Also try to go on food stamps that will cut your cost big time. If you have a car that you don't need and you can walk to your job, store, doctors etc, I suggest selling it. Try shelters AND YOUR CHURCH!!!! They should help you out. I was told that joining a church is a good thinig cause you have a family around you.
Now, about being off of anti-depressants, you can try to talk to your doctor about a special diet, I was told that more sugary things and fatty fried foods will make one more depressed, please ask your doctor about this.
Above all I am GOING TO PRAY AND PRAY for you my dear sweet loving sister. I have no doubt that you will make a really good mom, KEEP THE FAITH You are such a true blessing. (((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))))
Lots of love to you.
KEEP US UPDATED!!!!
