• 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

Just feel so down

I'm sorry for coming here again. It's just i don't want to go on any more. I don't feel i can handle all this, i'm too weak, i just want to sleep all the time. I feel hopeless.

I can't get to sleep early, 4 a.m. last night. Was up at 9. Tired but restless. I have an appointment this afternoon with my psych - i don't wanna go. She'll just sit and ask me questions and i just won't know what to say.

*can't think staight* I just want someone .. here .. just to listen .. just to hold me .. someone who understands .. :cry:

Good morning, Katylees

You are most welcome here. If it wasn't for people like you and me, this forum would not need to be here. We all need someone to talk with and help us get through rough times.

I have been looking up through the bottom many times in my life so I can understand the hopeless way you are expressing.

I don't know what is going on in your life at the moment but seems you are making the right steps to help yourself by seeing your doctor.

Please know our hands may not touch but we can reach out with out heart and touch each other. I don't think God made us to be strong and never need each other. He made us weak so we would need each other and lift each other up. Funny how God made us to need each other.

Many times in my life, I have felt so alone even tho I had family with and around me. I didn't want to worry them.

You can PM me and I will be so glad to talk with you. I feel so helpless to help you because I don't know anything about you.
Let us just pray: Father, we know you know all things and Katy needs you more than ever, I lift her up to you and ask that you reach your big arms and gather her in them. Hold her Father, Let her know she will never be alone. Father, she can't sleep and her mind is not clear, please just give her a calmness and a peace that passes all understanding. Father she needs strength and courage to build her back up. Lord, let her be still and know that you are with her, she is not alone and we at this forum are praying for her and lifting her up to you. In Jesus name, I pray. amen

Katy, believe in yourself and be determined in your heart that you will overcome this. No matter what the situation is, know that you are a good person, you will become strong again and you will be a blessing to others on this forum just as you have been in the past. There is much work to be done here and you will continue to help other just as they have help you.

I hope I have helped some. Please keep posting so we can continue in prayer with you and we surely want to know how your doctor's visit goes.

Trying to follow the Master's foot steps, I am.
God bless and keep you my dear katy.

:hug: Hey Katy, I just responded to another of your posts this morning, then found this one. Don't be afraid of your shrink, unload on her and tell her just how you feel. There are plenty of good anti-depressant meds out there, if you're not on one, I'd recommend you get on one. Some Christians don't like to recommend the meds and tell everyone to be faithful and let God work things out. I'd argue that's fine, if your stove catches on fire, don't use the fire extingquisher, pray and let God work it out (tongue in cheek there). God's allowed those pills to be invented for a reason; they help. I'm a good listener, PM me if you like, you're not alone, there are a lot of us out here with really big, dark, scary issues hanging over us. We exist in enemy territory, the world is the devil's playground, and we must remember that. Stay faithful and KNOW that these things run in cycles. You may be very depressed and down now, but I assure you, it WILL get better. Hang on, and if you need to unload, just let off some steam in my direction. Oh yes, and if you're living in a black-and-white world, watch out for those colored apples! Take care and God bless! :hug:

Ooo just been to see my Psych ..and well it was pointless ..takes me 20 minutes to walk there and my appointment was supposed to be 50 ..but it lasted 3 (and im not exaggerating). The conversation consisted of what i did the last 5 weeks and when my mood is lower or better.. then i said im bak home over the summer so she made an appointment for september ..and that was it?!?! FOR F*CK SAKE (Sorry) it jus makes me so angry.. i turn up after walking there.. stay for 3 mins then have to walk back .. in the HOT SWEATY weather *SIGH*

Hi Katy, just wanted to say hi, I know much too well where you are, and I'm still there a lot of the time. Maybe you could try and find a new psychiatrist, or consider seeing a Christian counsellor, and keep the psychiatrist for the more 'medical' side of things if that makes sense. Whereabouts are you in the UK? I'm in Birmingham. Feel free to PM me, or add me to MSN if you want to chat. I'll be praying for you.

:hug: :hug: :hug:

I can only imagine what is going on your life to bring you to this place, but I do know from experience that healing can take place. I have a sister that was healed of her depression that she suffered for many years and I myself suffered from anxiety for many years. We are both healed with the power of Jesus Christ. It can and does happen. I do not recommend you walking away from a doctor, but if you keep the outlook that you will be healed of this and ask God to heal you the light at the end of the tunnel will become brighter. These times are a test of your faith. Its seems unfair and hopeless right now, but I am praying in the spirit for you that you would believe that you can and will be healed of this. You are His tabernacle. He dwells in you. He NEVER leaves you. You are NEVER alone. Isn't that awesome?!!?!?! Praise God!!! Your in my prayers!:clap:
In His Love, Jennifer

You are so cute Katylee, I hope you feel better and will be alright......:hug: I need to ask you all to forgive me today and that i have been up a week now and my words were a bit foggy today and I offended some unintentionally. each time i read someones cry on here,
:cry: I just can't ignore that. i want to help so bad but i see now that i am not doing so. i search for answers and all of you seem to just ask for is a kind word and to tell it to anyone that will listen.....you find comfort in that with each other and i'm not needed. i do endtime prophecy in other forums and i might have mixed up my thoughts and i'm not about offending anyone so please, :sigh: forgive me.:( i pray i sleep in a little bit. you all can take away my blessings too. Take care now, Deb~

hi katy,you make sense to me and how I CAN be. that thought process between you and your shrink I know all too well. I dreaded going to mine. I would become physically ill and actually wish for a car wreck knowing I had to go because you give your all and they seem to sit.SIT and write. then I found a real doc. that went away. this dr never has me discuss my past girlfriend and her death.


you may benefit from a HUG. :)

Hi Kat, what's up today? my sleep apnea causes my insomina and pms +pre "old woman syndrome" we woman all look forward to. i researched and sleep apnea is causing alot of it. I know I get weak moments myself, and it has nothing to do with how spiritual of a christian one is, but alot of factors in this old body we have :sigh:
thanks for the hug. thats all we sometimes need isn't it, a hug and someone to just listen.:sorry: i get my overload by writing and sometimes deleting afterwards. its a good therapy for releasing that junk on your mind.:doh: and your thoughts . then go back and review down the road what you were thinking;) talk to you soon, DEB~
