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.

you are someone!! i'll say it over and over again til you believe it, because it's true! you're not a mistake...God doesn't make mistakes.
i think it would be wise to see a doctor. i bet it would help you out some. do you eat well? maybe that's why you feel weak and unable to do little tasks...just a thought.

Jo- 
Things sound so difficult for you at the moment!
You are worth such a lot, the Lord loves you, his daughter and His precious child!
I'll pray for you, but I think it might help also if you could get some help where you are now.
You are in college?- a lot of colleges have counsellors, and also a lot of local churches have Christian counsellors. Or your doctor could help you find someone- again in Wales a lot of GPs have counsellors attached to practices. None of those people will want to institutionalise you, they will want to try and help you to overcome these problems. Please try and tell someone you trust the way you are feeling and see if you can also get some professional help too
Hugs and prayers for you again,
Cat

We as humans will have problems. That's why we depend on God...He is the one who always brings us closer together. Why do people act mean towards others? Because they are attempting to reach out... If you see yourself as a flower, a branch of a tree, and God as the water or vine, then it makes a perfect anology. Some people just don't know how to express themselves properly, so they do stupid things to get attention or get "what they want." Either way, our problems were designed to keep us together. I keep asing myself "Lord, how long is this going to take and what more must I endure?" That doesn't matter...what matters is that each and everyday you are growing your relationship with God. Soon your thoughts will turn away from yourself and before you know it they will all be on Him and others as well. You'll find your love is growing towards others everyday. Just remember that! God bless!

For God so loved Wackyjo that he gave his one and only son, that Wackyjo believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
He loves you always, though you are what you wrote.
kneel down and ask him "help me" listen to him, and see what he will talk to you.
Remember,Wackyjo. though you think you are rubbish, in God's eyes, you are still diamond.

I really think you should seek help from a christian therapist with your feelings of guilt towards your "unworthiness" before God. These forums are good for support, but you may be counciled waywardly although be it with the best intent of the "counciler". This is your very life at stake, i hardly think it fair to yourself to make decisions, or find thruthful answers about yourself from people who know nothing of your person, or the conflict inside you, including myself. That said, i am still available for support if you wish to PM me.

Hey Jo may I ask if your councellor is a Christian? You need Jesus at the heart of everything you do. You also need to start speaking life over yourself instead of death. How about dropping the 'wacky' bit from your screen name. Would I be right in suspecting that this is a name you've been called which has stuck? Whatever, I may be talking through my hat. Read up on what God thinks of you and try to take your mind off what you may think or what other people may think of you.
You're Gods child, He loves you.

Jo,
When I say to you that things will get better - I am telling you this from experience. Don't worry about the meds being increased. Right now it's important to find the right drug, or combination of drugs, with the correct dosage to stabilize your mood.
I am glad to read that you have sought out Christian counseling. Talk to your therapist about Theophostic Prayer. This may be helpful to you. It is important to remember that you are a child of God! He loves you so much and hasn't left your side.
Feel free to PM me anytime - I'll be keeping you in my prayers!
