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'm in trouble, here's my story....

"especially since my dad and I have never gotten along and he's just verbally abused me my whole life and when I was younger he used to beat me for no reason."
Can I just say....I have heard this SOOOO MANNNY TIMMESSS1!!From homosexuals or those with such tendancies. Sometimes, I wonder if it is the parents fault that the child turns in this direction....I have debated this in my own mind severely in that I have had friends who were homosexual and were as kind to me can be(took out the other reference bec , well it didn't sound good.). I still love these folks in a heterosexual way and have wondered for years as to whether it was ok to be gay. Here's my closure. It is ok to have a genetic, environmental, situational pre-disposition to homosexuality..HOWEVER, as strong as that pull is, it is better to be single than in a homosexual relationship. It is my opinion that it is not a lifestyle the lord wants one to live. But do not hate yourself. I don't hate you. I am not afraid of you, and I would give you a hug if I could from here. You will be ok. You will have hard times but remember God loves you even though he may not condone your tendencies. Just try, try, try your best. Take care. Not lots of time but will read more later.
Ok, read some more. WHAT medication are you taking?? You need to get on about 30mgs of paxil NOW! You are suffering from a disease as serious as cancer but treatable. Go across the broder and get yourself a big supply if you have to but get treatment so that you can begin doing the Lord's will. Whoever this "grommet" was, it was a person that is at the point of being derranged and totally out of reality so I wouldn't take his/her advice. The rest of us are here to hep but you have to try yourself. It is your duty in this condition and there is no other way. You need to go on an anti-depressant (something to lift your seretonin back to normal levels). Just remember, anyone with a low level of seretonin feels very bad, even if it were the pres of united states, OK? Honestly, you need a qualified physician to diagnos and no-one should be held accountable here as it is your decision BUT you need medication. WHY? Simple, the LACK of the seretonin affects your very resistance to the lows!!!! Are you following me? Please get some cash together somehow and get this chemical balanced. Last of all, you have two major issues to deal with, one at a time. First, get yourself top the point where your body is in a position to make decisions! GOD HELP and GOD speed. AND thank GOD you live in a time where he makes a drug available to help!

The last med that I took just about killed me and I litterally mean that....I will not ever take another anti-depressant because I was not told the truth by the doctor, and I will never go see another doctor for that matter........Did you know that most anti-depressants DON'T FIX the brain chemical levels, but instead they adjust other chemicals in the brain, leaving what is out of balance alone, but as soon as you come off of it you are back where you are......As for Paxil, there are lawsuits over it.....it causes people that are suicidal to off themselves while on it because they become very agravated and adjatated (spelling?)......It also is a very difficult drug to come off of, just like Zoloft, many are hospitalized and end up back on it because they can't come off of it because it's screwed them up even more than if they weren't to take it at all......This is my final standpoint, NO DRUGS PERIOD!Sp0ck said:
Also, Grommit is my friend and he may have off'd himself but we don't know because he has been banned.....

Doofus125, everything has pretty much been said. You have been given some good advice. I suffer from my own depression, I know it's hard. The only thing I can do for you is pray that the Lord will bring you happieness and that friend you want. The one thing I have learned though is that Jesus is your only true friend. You can always rely on him, he's not going anywhere. You seem like a wonderful person. I hate to hear that you are going through these trials. It breaks my heart. My prayers will always be with you. Don't give up...keep on keepin on...
Trust Jesus that's your only way to true happieness. 
Trust Jesus that's your only way to true happieness.

You are wrong about the meds friend. I know many people they have helped and I have personally done oodles of research on them. The lawsuits are from people who came OFF the meds waay to fast or shouldnt have come off of them because them chems went right back to a depletion. So of course their symtpoms came back. You need to re-think that but of course it is your decision, we can only try to lead you. Grommit is a bad influence until he gets help, friend or not, he has hurt lots of folks here. He needs to get serious help before he posts again in my opinion. Take care and hope you both feel better. Please rethink your decisions, you can get better. God bless.

Well... I'm still around. Still "hanging" in there. Still have some hope that it will be ok somehow, someway... I'm on my last leg however. My body, my mind, my heart and my resolve is getting weaker with each passing day... I don't know how much more I can take, but, for now I'm trying. Trying only to knock myself down by falling into sin which makes me not want to see God again out of shame or what not.doofus125 said:
Anyways, I'm here. I actually took some time off after being banned and came back to make another account and continue that way but then Mr. Cheese unbanned me.
How long do ban's last anyways? I thought it was three weeks but is it supposed to be forever?

Well, for me Paxil didnt' do a thing other than make me feel tired, sluggish, and get mood swings. It also made me gain like 10 pounds and I'm slowly working it off. I have read a report from my doctor who gave me the paxil that yeah, for most people it does something good but for the rest, it can make it worse. He showd me a study that found that in some young people, paxil actually made their lives much worse. I found that I got very upset easily and felt so uncontrollable when I got upset to the point where I wanted to go on a rampage. After I stopped paxil I got better slowly but right now I am NO WHERE near the person I was before I took paxil. I am far worse than before... not in terms of my depression but my mood and mood swings. They better go away... I don't need an anger problem to surface right now.Sp0ck said:
I don't trust drugs anymore. Especially ones they mess with my brain. My brain is the last part of my body I want to mess up. It's too important to take risks. I'll just have to find otherways to get over it.

out of. Keep running to Him with your stuff.
hey I hope I'm not sounding preachy or anything, I just
know it's so important for me to look up not down. And
....like in psalm 121..... I mean there's something to look
up to, not everything's dark. really, I often feel this world
is and circumstances are, yeah I know I can be soooo negative sometimes
but I know there's an awesome & perfect God.
There's loads of encouraging stuff in the psalms,
or I like much of this one =)

I have just absolutley hit bottom. I got an e-mail from my friend and he seemed upset at me and now all I can think about is how do I end my life. People keep telling me what to do and keep getting upset at me, but when no one is willing to take the time to help me or even acknowledge I'm here what's the point. I know "the word of God" in my head, but it hasn't been in my heart for a long time and everytime someone tells me to ask God or trust God I feel like turning around and just flipping out on them because I really don't know what it is to trust or rely on God. The books I've read have been nothing more than words and no matter what I do it's just not in my heart. When I think things are starting to look up I suddenly realize it's my head that is on the high and not my heart. I'm tired of being alone, I really am, I don't know what to do and I am seeing the only way out again. I just don't know what to do anymore.

Being homosexual is sin, it is not normal. And wrong is the wrong word for suicide, it too is SIN. It is the ultimate sin because you can never take it back and confess it to God. You cannot repent of it, it is the last spit in God's face. Face it, your homosexuality is not your problem, your problem is not facing your sin. Be a man and own up to your sins, yes others have wronged you but your sins are seperating you from God. Confess them to Christ and forsake them before it is not possible.
1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
People who commit suicide never put the blame on the person in the mirror. Go there and tell God you are sorry not only for homosexuality, but for the sin of not putting Him where He belongs, IN YOUR LIFE!

Jude 7 says "Even as Sodom and Gomor'rah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengence of eternal fire."
you speak as though it is okay to take your life... strange flesh in this verse means that of like flesh. That problem I think is your real problem, have you ever dealt with it?
