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.

This really stood out to me, And I can totally understand the feeling that you have.
But it made me wonder, Have you asked Him to come let light into that darkness, and fill that emptyness? Take the first big step, and the doubt just might disappear.
And, great video. Thanks for posting that

Those alters will be younger than you are now. They are expressing all their pain and confusion, including their apparently unheard cries to God for the abuse to stop. They are part of you, but not one of them, you included, is evil - just very pained.
Some skilled therapy, insightful prayer and time (probably lots) can result in real transformation. Don't despair. God is on your side, totally and unchangeably.

God wants you to be whole. God loves you. He is kind, and very patient. He will NEVER give up on you. He loves you.
God loves you. Say that to yourself, "God loves me." Also it says in Scripture that whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved, Romans 10:13. Ask Jesus Christ to come and help you. Ask Him to cleanse you, heal you, and make you the person He wants you to be. He loves you, He will help you.
I am praying for you (((hug)))

I really think you need some therapy.
God can absolutely, undoubtably heal you. But I find often we just have too much pain, and every time we try to turn to God, Satan just shoots us back down again and it's so hard to get back up. Often it's hard to even recieve that healing, because we're so filled with feelings of shame and guilt and unworthiness.
I know that so often people say to me "Just turn to God, and He WILL save you," and I'm always left wondering why it never seems to work for me.
A Christian therapist can help break down those barriers. God has put them on the earth for a reason.

Please know that God is not going to punish you for what has happened to you. That was not your fault, and you've reacted to it the only way you know how with the resources you have. God is not spiteful. He loves you, and He wants nothing more then for you to have life and have it in abundance.

Come and visit my site http://youtube.com/unitynlove and look up any topic you want. Just go the video search box and type in anger, grief, abuse, ect. I pray that some of the sermons will help you. May I suggest a sermon called "beauty for ashes"

Please be assured that God does understand, you are most certainly not evil, by any standard, and you are not going to hell. How can you, when you have already been there?
God has far more patience than you are ever going to be able to work through, Lifewanderer.
I wish you well.
