• 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 am afraid I am suffering from depression. Nothing seems good anymore. Nothing makes me happy. I just cry all the time.
I am really worried. I have recently seen a family member become very depressed and they are currently in hospital after trying to commit suicide.
I dont want to end up like that, but I am afraid I will. I dont know what to do. Please someone help me.

You should go see your doctor and see if he/she can recommend someone you can talk to. they might be able to give you some advice on what you are going through. It is also a possibility that you may need medication to help you. If you are close to any family members, talk to them and let them know what you are feeling and thinking. And pray, He already knows what you are going through, there is nothing wrong with asking for a little bit of help.

I hope you receive the help you need, and your family member gets help

Does depression run in the family because it is hereditary. But, You should see a doctor ( Not a regular family doctor )It could be just a little womens thing once a month or it could very well be depression either way it is a terrible thing to feel!! I know, I'm bi-polar. I do take meds and it really does help with the help of GOD of course!! I will keep you in my prayers!!! PLease do not ever do anything to harm yourself! You should get a emergency phone# just in case you justify " not wanting to be around " Always remember JESUS holds us close!!! PLease don't let go!!

see a doctor and then see a counselor....it may be something situational....or even seasonal...talking to someone will help with this, to see what the exact problem is...I have depression, so if you want to PM me and talk, I'd be more than happy to.
