• 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 don't want to feel like this but I do.
Except for one person who lives on the other side of the world I have no one to talk to.
I'll be getting a niece/nephew in the next couple of days and I can't even get excited about it, that's how low I feel.
It feels like I'll never come out of this depression, I have nothing to live for.
Even though it feels like God is far away I do know that He's with me all the time and I'm not angry with Him but I just can't understand how He can let me go so long wuthout friends despite begging and pleading with Him a few times, now I don't even bother asking. It feels like He's teasing me in a way because He's brought two people into my life that could be good friends but because of various reasons they aren't available when I need them.
I don't think anything will help me anymore.

I don't know what your going through, but I'm praying for you. I love this verse, I hope it may help you

Romans 13:12:
12The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.
Thank you for praying and for sharing that verse, that's definitely reason to have hope.

I partly relate to how you feel. I couldnt feel any excitement about the birth of my nephews and niece, and I hardly feel any affection for them at this time. For me its just another hammer to the world I once had and the self I loved that it belonged to. But who could understand it.
In a way its good to know that someone else feels the same way I do. I want to get excited and maybe I will when its here. Maybe anxiety is keeping me from getting too excited.

sorry that you feel that way. I feel that way sometimes. What are you trying to do to overcome this feeling? I would think maybe a good counselor who can help you explore your feelings a little would be helpful.

I'm not really doing too much, hoping that somebody on the forum would have a suggestion that might help otherwise just trying to get through the really bad days when they come. I know I need a counselor but I just don't want to go down that road just yet.
I am doing better then I was but some days are better then others.

I am now an aunt to a little baby boy and I do feel excited about it so at least I'm doing better with regards to that area. But I still battle with feelings sometimes of what's the point of doing anything because nothing interests me or motivates me.
