For a while now (at least six months) I've just felt incredibly empty. I don't really feel incredibly terrible, though the idea of feeling empty is depressing in itself. I gave my life to Christ four and a half years ago, so I don't really know whats wrong - I just can't seem to snap out of it. Help me, please.

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.
I just feel so empty. Why?

Here's one of many testimonies I have on file:-
I suffered major depression from 1985 to 1986, my personality, emotions, intellect and inner being felt like they had all shut down, leaving me only with feelings of hopelessness, fear, anxiety, negativity and despair.
Doctors and Specialists could not help me. My husband, who was against the Revival Fellowship, finally allowed me to go to a meeting to see if I could get healed by the power of God. I saw people of all ages with genuine joy within themselves. I was baptized and God convicted my heart, and assured me that he would heal me completely. Even before I felt healed, I had faith to praise the Lord in prayer for the healing.
Every time the dark cloud of depression was upon me I would praise the Lord and it was as if I started going up a rung of a ladder with each praise until my faith broke through the clouds of depression and my inner being discovered love, joy and peace from our great God.
Even before your eyes can see the victory, with praise to God you already have the victory. It is not merely positive thinking; it is a simple exercise of our faith muscles towards our loving and powerful God. I thank and praise our awesome and faithful God whose power has done so much for me. Praise the Lord I'm healed and saved.
God can do anything if you praise Him - depression healed, Cherry, Adelaide,Australia
