• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Hello! I hate to hear you are feeling so down. I know how depression feels first hand. It is awful. Please do not hold how you are feeling inside. Talk to someone. If not your mum or dad please find someone. I think your parents need to be your first go to, but if not maybe you can use this forum to vent. Take care!:wave:

Is there any reason you should be feeling this way?
I'd definitely suggest that you talk to your parents and see your doctor so he can tell you what the best plan of action is. I'm not saying you should immediately go onto anti-depressents, it may be hormonal especially considering your age, maybe puberty has something to do with it.

For about 6 months now I've been very sad and I've cried a lot. I am always depressed where ever I am. I find it hard to talk to my friends now because I always feel so sad and confused. I don't feel comfortable with telling my mum or dad and I really don't know what to do about it.
I know what you mean. I've had the same kinds of feelings for several months now but the only time I feel any relief is when I can find someone close to me to talk to...most especially my fiance.

Sometimes it sort of creeps up on you. You are feeling fine, then something in your mind triggers a bit of sadness at first, then deep melancholy. I vent to my sister, my friends, my fiance--don't feel compelled to confess to them, but try to share with someone. It helps.
