• 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

It's got to end

I guess if i'm talking about it by posting here then I can't truly want to die can i? Or can i? Do I really want eternal life? NO. I don't want any life. Yes it's selfish seeing as there is nothing physically wrong with me and I'm sure millions of people would kill for that.. but come on... what am I doing? I cannot put my trust whole heartedly in Jesus because I can't honestly say I believe it. Instead I search for earthly people who can fill this void in my life, I push people to their limits until they abandon me and I don't blame them but it hurts it really hurts. Maybe if I could truly believe, I could trust God instead and never feel let down, but that's so difficult.

My biggest fear was that suicide only leads to hell, but hell cannot be worse than me. My other fear is not doing it 100% right and ending up in a situation worse than I already am in, but I've worked it all out, now I just need to get on with it. As the day and evening goes on I feel more and more ready to do it and make plans for making the drive and doing the deed the following day.. but come morning I have this little glimpse of hope that things can improve.. but as the evening comes I head straight back in to the spiralling pit of despair.

What can anyone say or do to help me? How can i reach out to people when i can't stand for anyone to be around me? How can things ever improve? The answer is they can't.. in one week, month, year I'd still be here posting the same crap on an online forum because i cannot escape from me while alive.. only in death.

I wrote a poem that might comfort you. Feel free to read my blogs anytime. You might find a answer or comfort, you never know ;)

Winds of Change (metaphor)

I was flying so strongly
Above a deep hole
The wind blew so cruelly
That I lost control

As I cried out to you
I saw it in your eyes
That you want me to
Let go of the fear inside

Your love melted my frown
And made me feel so free
Before I knew it I was on the ground
With not a scratch on me

The pattern you describe of feeling some hope and then losing it at night sounds like there is a physical component to this. YOu must have that checked. You must. For me, when I had serious suiciadal thoughts, planning it just as you have been, there was a definite chemical imbalance involved. When I got back on meds the thoughts went away adn my life is now happy. You must have this checked. The enemy is messing with your mind, telling you lies. Jesus has a plan for your healing adn a plan for your life. Watch your nutrition, lose the sugar and caffeine if you use them (they mess with your blood sugar and can contribute to these feelings), make sure you get exercise and good rest, stay hydrated with water, get meds if you need them, fellowship with mature Christians, talk with your pastor about what is happening with you, and get lots of prayer. If you don't have a local pastor, let me know if you would like me to pm you some numbers you can call.
Praying for you. Keep us posted, A
