• 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

The combination of my depression and chronic immune system disorder has left me at the end of my rope. I have slept much of the past several months due to constant infections and depression. Now I am weak and can barely shower. I am so tired and do not feel there is hope things will get better.

I know that you are very ill right now and can't see how things could improve but God can bring improvement about. Please don't heed hopelessness such realities lie about God and His healing power all the time and bring us the pit. Faith in God's love is what you need, faith in God's love can rebuild us and make us stronger than pain can bring to bear.

Praying that things will improve for you.

:hug:

To God's Depressed Child,

To think less of yourself then God's own
Brings you much pain and suffering.
Your worth is an incredible high price
Also for you did Jesus die on the cross.

Depression is also what devil's lies brings inside
letting a low-self-esteem your good life rob
Untruths roaming freely through heart and mind
Evil lies extinguishing all happiness and fun.

His loving truth brings you His good life
While to believe lies brings pain and grief
So hold onto the promises Jesus made to you
and don't let Satan your good life squander.

Take hold of God's precious loving truth.
A life in Him stays safe from lies that hurt.
Jesus' truth will comfort your bleeding heart
Lovingly remaking your fallen life anew.

I can understand what you are going through as I have battled depression and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for many years. It is very debilitating, but please don't give up as there is hope of regaining your health. The most important thing is that you get adequate rest so your body - and mind - can recover and also make sure that you eat well. It can take time to get better and you need support, understanding and love. I hope you have good caring people in your life which you can turn to? I want you to know that you're not alone in your struggles. Pray daily, even if it's a weak prayer. I will say a prayer for you also and don't be scared to ask for prayer on this site.

I really do know what you are going through, but even though you walk through a dark valley try to take it one day at a time and try to ignore your fears. Use this time to grow closer to God as it's his LOVE that gets us through!

Victor. :hug:
