• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Hi all,

My name is Jason and I am currently 17 years old. I reside in the UK. Currently suffering from severe depression, so much that I have become an hermit. I was sectioned towards the end of last year and deemed to be suffering from severe depression but was given no medication as denied all sucidal ideas and the like. What is interesting though, is that I was sectioned shortly after purchasing a bible.

My experience wasn't as bad as I initially thought, but still, that does not take away the fact that I have live with being sectioned for the rest of my life. I am still the same, as I still don't leave the house. I have no hope. I can't seem to find enjoyment in anything. My depression has been gradual, nearly a year and half now and to be honest, I'm at the bottom. The only way is up I guess, but still, how can I even do that when all enjoyment is gone? I feel empty.

I shall stop now as it's not fair of myself to unload my burdens on you. I would however, like to thank-you for reading this; I appreciate it.

Kindest Regards,
Jason


Welcome to CF:wave:I will be praying for you. I'm so sorry you have had to deal with depression, it is tough. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding but acknowledge Him in everything and He will direct your paths. God bless you and I hope you find great :hug:encouragement and fellowship here.

I just wanted to pop in and say welcome! I also wanted to invite you into the recovery area, but it looks like several already did. One nice thing about having a computer is you can still fellowship with others, I think you will make some nice friends here.
Welcome!
