• 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

I'm really struggling

I ave a month r two when I'm fine then I have another month or two where I'm not. Basically, I'm feeling really down at the moment, I have no motivation to do anything. Normally I achieve so much every day when my girls are at school. At the moment I'm doing nothing. I have jobs that need doing but I can't face doing them, I have people I need to phone to buy things, but I can't face having to speak to them. All I want to do all day is sleep. Last night I just started crying at anything on television. I am REALLY struggling to get through each day. I want the day to finish, but then I realise tomorrow isn't going to be any different from today.

Am I depressed? Depression doesn't normally come and go like this does it?

Depression often cycles in and out! The best thing to to do is go and see a doctor and see if anti-depressant medications help you anything. Also try and make sure that you add positive times to the negative times this is a great strategy in dealing with depressive moods.

Fight like you have never fought before.

Rise up and do the opposite of what you know and feel. This is hard to do but is possible with God as your strength.

A doctor will give medication which will help for a time and I recommend this.

However only through prayer can you truly overcome this.

Know now you are not seeing yourself the way God sees you. Pray for God to show you your true self with all your heart and you will overcome.
