• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

It's all a big lie

Why do you feel that way?
Satan was a lier and a murder from the beginning, but Jesus is Truth. So we have Jesus to turn to in our grief and despair, and what we receive we can share with each other as fellow new creations in Christ.

Lord I lift up this CF member to You that You will bless and open the heart of 'Hopelessss' to Your healing touch. In Jesus.

I see you will be away for a month, but if you ever want to talk just send me a PM.

Why do you feel you can never escape?

With your permission I would like to pray for you too, and know that I'm sending lots of hugs your way :hug:.

Shalom,
Steffi

Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and no one can come to the Father except by Him. Jesus likes to give people new names, to replace their old ones. He renamed Simon to be Peter. He renamed Saul to be Paul. He will give us all new names in the Hereafter. We are all new creations in Christ. walkmeonthewater

I know you might not want to hear this but life is what you make it. If you choose to focus on the negative then it will be negative. I understand that you have been through alot and I do understand where you are coming from because I have been there also, but I realized that focusing on the negative is not doing me any good my only hope for true fulfillment is to put my trust in the Lord.

I wish I could wake up tommorow and find out it was all just a long nightmare but its not and now I can never escape.

agnostic? well i can't say that getting saved will make you happy, but it is the right path. check out these sites who talk about it, and they tell you how to get saved. pm me if ya have any questions.

John 3:3 (Jesus says) "you must be born again to enter into Heaven"

:hug: Hoplessss :hug: ,

Sometimes all a person can say to encourage a hurting spirit is...I have been where you are...there is hope... even if you don't "see" it or "feel" it now.

You have LOTS of support here :groupray:

With :hug: s & :prayer: s,

I would have to agree 100% with what Unitynlove has to say. I have been through it too long now, and it is very true. If you are thinking about all the negative things, well, then, naturally, things are going to be bad. Your past is your past, you need to put it behind you, and think of all the good things this world has to offer you. You are a great person, and you deserve to be happy. Live your life for you, not anyone else. PM me if you would like.

As one non-religously-inclined person to another, let me tell you you're not alone.
If you've felt consistently "down" for more than 2 months, or display one or more of these symptoms...
You may be depressed.

In which case, hearing "you need to cheer" up, or "things will get better", will mean nothing to you.

My advice is, get help, if you're not at the moment. There is no way out of this pit without some form of ladder. You don't want to dig yourself any deeper. :(

If you feel down, please feel free to PM me.

And though I'd disagree with the context, Unitynlove was right. "Life is what you make of it". If you're willing to seek medical help, your life will improvae. If you decide to languish in a corner, not only will you get worse, you will also find little sympathy or respect from others.

So, with that said, good luck. I know you'll make the right choice. ^__^

Remember that the Lord brings Good and Bad times. With out alittle rain how could you grow? If its only sun light then these every thing would be burned up. What you have to do with the rain is embrasse it as a lesson, ask the Lord, "What are you trying to teach me Lord so I could grow?" Pain always sharpens your mind, instead of asking the Lord, why me? Ask him, "Lord why do you trust me so much?" because with as much pain as you experience there is a 100 fold blessings of happiness. Stay hopeful.

I cant think positive because if I do then I get squashed like a bug under God's foot and end up worse than when I started. Like I just read some things by single chrisitans and i realize now that I'm doomed. I keep praying that God will kill me but he won't. I don't understand why people believe in the Bible because I have never experienced one thing that was "promised" in it so I just don't get why. but its too late now. I give up. I"ve been trying to fix things sooooo many times and it just gets worse and worse until I find that I'm way to far down and I can't get out of it now. The only thing I have to look forward to now is death.

Hoplessss...why do you think 'God squashes you like a bug under His foot?

There are quite a few people who have offered you to talk with the by pm...have you?

Quite a few people have posted 'they just give up'... and yet still struggle to search for that hand to pull them up from the pit of despair.

What is there to look forward to in death Hopeless? How do you see it?

Like I shared in my earlier post...I have been where you are....too many times...you might think 'what can an older woman who is married with kids understand???'
Just that I've had many more years to experience the depths of despair. You know how it is...even tho I was surrounded by loved ones...I felt all alone. I always thought God was playing chess with my life and that I was a pawn...and if you know anything about chess, the pawn is just a 'throw away'

I hope you give life just (at least) one more chance!

Wendy
