• 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 feel like there is not much of a reason for getting through this day. I know I have all these reasons for going on, working hard but.....I am tired of it all.

It is my French 2 class that makes me feel like the worst failure of a person.

I just want to feel the joy of living again. You know, it is a new day, isn't that great!

I'm asking people to pray for me. I'm really not myself these days. I feel like I am in a dark tunnel and I cannot find the light, the way out, no matter how hard I try.

I am praying for you and honestly know exactly how you feel.

I do not have a solution to my issue either, but I will say something about my life and God that may help.


Even though I have felt this way most of my life, I am at a point of reflection in my life right now.

I have thought that I would want to die if I cannot find a solution to how I feel, that life is not worth living because of that.

The problem is that our emotions are stronger than we can imagine. Alot of people find meaning in life while confined to a wheel chair, some in that situation do not.

In the end we must reflect on our life and learn to be someone regaurdless of our challenges, our feelings and our situations. This is the hardest task in life there is in my opinion.

The point is that I still am going to climb up and if I feel like crap all the way to the top, so be it. Life will not win against me.

God will carry me and if it is in the next life I am at peace, then so be it.

I will pray for you sister.

Nah I don't think you are a failure. Either just having difficult time absorbing the material, or whatever is causing you to be depress is desolving your ability to cope.

See if your college offers some free theorpy services or something to that nature. With things being the way they are now of days it should be availible. Try to sit down and figure out what is bring you down. Or talk to a pastor you trust.

God bless sister!

I also think you should try to seek therapy. It makes a huge difference, and doesn't make you less of a Christian. We all need to be there for each other...this is a difficult world. You may even have access to a Christian counselor, which I think is the best way to go! Good luck! I'll keep you in my prayers.

I have been feeling like I am in a room without any doors.

I am feeling better and the only thing I did that may have contributed was that I spent some time blogging in a private blog about ALL THE THINGS I was worrying about.
I asked God to help me with them.
I do feel lighter.

You're in my prayers.

Do you have anyone you can talk to about stuff? A friend, therapist, anyone? And have you considered tutoring in your French class? Maybe having someone else explain things do you in a new way would help?

Ok, to answer all the questions:

1. There is NO French tutor, I would have been the tutor's shadow by now. :)

2. I have talked to my mother, (who got a degree in counceling.)

3. CF is a lifesaver for me. I can come here and talk to friends about everything.

4. I feel so much better after talking for so long with my mother on how I felt, why I felt so bad, and so on.
I think my feelings were starting to take away from other parts of my life.

And as for getting out, I go to college every day.

That's wonderful that you can share your feelings with your mother.
