• 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

Yeah I relate to the reality you describe, you need to come to rest, you are cycling to fast and are becoming more and more confused, fearful and insecure. What really helped for me at that stage was anti-psychotic and mood stabilising medications.

You might have to go and visit your doctor as soon as possible. He can prescribe the right medications.

I have been on a roller coaster with depression and suicide. The only reason I'm here is because of God. There is one thing that helps... It's a book that is actually for teens but has worked for me as well... It's called, "The bondage breaker." These thoughts these feelings are the work of the enemy. That is how Satan fights us. When you feel like giving up, read his word. It is the only thing that helps. If the thoughts don't go away.... Sing praise songs. Do this and I bet you will feel a difference.

No problem. It's a hard thing to battle and that is what our fellow believers are for. If you see my signature, I put those versus down because of my experiences and struggles. We are in a war, and we need our armor to defend ourselves against the enemy. When I feel really depressed, I close my eyes and picture myself wearing God's armor. I imagine a silver belt, breast plate, shield, sword and boots. I say this verse allowed and remember that God loves me. (Silver because it stands for redemption) Life is hard, but remember what lies ahead.

So encourage each other and build each other up, just as you are already doing 1 Thessalonians 5:11
