• 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

How are you feeling? **Trigger**

There is always hope Surviving.

People care about you and God cares for you and loves you very much.


Please do yourself a favour and change your job, its better to live on less money for a while whilst you just give yourself a break yeah, than to get depressed about going to a job you obviously hate so much....You deserve better!


I know I don't know you but "hugs" anywway :hug:


Faith manages

Thanks for your encouraging words. I cannot afford to take a pay cut in salary with living near London - cost of living is unbelievable! I am looking for another job though.

hey Surviving,when it seems to u there is no hope,u can alwyas pray for it and for the faith,thats important,and God will hear u!he is alwyas listening!i think he see all even if He sleep!(but somehow,i don't think He is sleeping at all...:);):angel:(i hope u will find another better job)

God bless ya all!:hug:

I hope he is listening as it doesn't feel like it at the moment. As for my faith...I think I'm losing it a little. Don't get me wrong, I still believe in God and that he exists, but I am just sick of life at the moment and would like something good to happen.

How am I feeling? Hmm . . . I feel confused. Somewhat angry, somewat hurt, and sort of just . . . here. I'm tired more than anything. About a week ago, one of my two best friends basically told me that I mean little to him and he only lets me talk about my struggles (abuse from father, mainly) because he feels obligated to. Last night, I told him that I think we should take some time apart for a while, and he didn't seem to care. He just said, "as you wish." I cried, and I rarely cry. (Sorry if that was too much info; I just sort of needed to get it all out.)

My basket of tricks for the past year or two is to bury my emotions as much as I can so that I do not have to deal with them. years of abuse finally got to me so that I shut down. The church I am in has helped but I still bottle up and disassociagte an awful lot. Feeling sad is not a bad things; sometimes it is worse not to be able to feel. Hang in there.
BTW, I have a Lab amd seven cats who live with me and my teenage son. They give me oodles of luving.

I did that for about two years . . . those were probably the two most difficult years of my life. I still sometimes struggle with it. I definitely agree that it is generally worse to not be able to feel. As painful as they sometimes are, I am actually grateful for my feelings because I have known what it is to not feel.

I hope everyone gets to feeling better.

so depressed that words can't even explain it...the only way i know how to explain it is by cutting but i can't do that...so i'll just have to deal with the feelings
thats right you cant cut, i am so happy you said that. But maybe doing something like going to the mall or taking a walk will help?
