• 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

You need to tell someone who you trust. Your friend might be angry at you for telling, but it sounds like she does have a problem and needs to get some help.

You can tell your pastor, a counsellor at her school, her parents, your parents - anyone who you trust, someone who can try to help her.

God bless you for looking out for your friend. :hug:

I agree with squiggle - you need to tell an adult. Your friend might be too depressed to even care anymore - and maybe your telling someone will be the first step for her recovery. Yeah, she might be angry, but it would be better for her to be angry for a while than to not be with you anymore. TN

TheCrimson, I haven't got much more to add other than to say that I agree with Squigglemonster and Texannurse. This is serious and you really need to tell somebody who can help or who knows how to get help. Also keep being her friend, no matter what.

I'm praying for you and your friend :hug:. Let us know how things go.

the first thing l would do is talk to your friend in a nice calming gental way. With out raising your voice just ask her whats wrong why she is doing this to herself. And try to help her the best you can if you can't help her don't give up tell her mom she might get mad at you for telling her mom but after a while she will thank you in the long run. She will be happy that your a caring friend and your looking after her. Trust me you won't lose her as a friend it will help her she might be angry for the first while but after a while she will be happy you saved her. I hope that things go good with your friend
God bless you hun
