• 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 dont feel like i deserve any of it anymore to be happy, to get married and be happy, to have a better life, to have something get better ,i just dont know what to do i want help i need to get better ,i love my baby and i want to be happy when shes here i dont want to be like this when she is born, Im so sorry, i wish i could just get better



Can you just put your eyes on God and turn your mistakes and life over to HIM and then let God through the counsel of perhaps your pastor, your Chrisitan leaders help you through this?

For me, it was totally personal...I ran and got my Bible because I knew I wouldn't make it if God didn't see me through. Start reading His word. I always loved to read Romans, Psalms, John etc--find a version that will help you the most.

Also, one of the things I done the most was I hung to verses that gave me strength that I believed God wanted personally for my child and me and I made sure they were never far from my sight.

Hon, you can do it. God can see you through this all the way. I remember feeling so like you did. Is there a support system in your life somewhere ? Christian's?

Just start telling God what you are sharing here and see what happens. Just talk to Him and share with Him and watch and see His love and His love for your unborn child.

:hug:

Yes, it will be okay someday. Eventually things change but the problem that we face as Christians is understanding why we must go so long without seemingly any change. It is for the better. From our conversations you might understand why I went through some things, to help you and others, so that you might do the same, and so on and so forth.

I can not stand that ALL my mom and her husband do is hang ALL over each other and kiss as !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOUD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as they can. and me, my brother and sister have told them 100,000,000,000,000,000 times that we dont think its appropriate for them to be doing that and to please keep it in the bedroom the reason why i hate it so much is because I was sexually abused my whole life then I finally get out of it then my mom meets him and then he comes and moves in with us after them being together for only 2-3 months then one night me and a friend were in my room laughing and talking with the door wide open with them in the living room about 10 feet away from the bedroom door and we hear them having sex and this is the second time ive heard my mom have sex with some one. Ive tried to get over it but i can't.

Well thats a bad situation to be in, if you can't talk to your mom maybe another relative could do it for you what about an aunt, uncle or grandparent. That is inappropriate behavior for younger people to be seeing and hearing. Are your siblings younger than you

babyallison,

I cannot imagine what you are going through right now. I know you have the strength to get through this situation. Please remember God will be with you. Please keep us updated on your situation. You are in my prayers and I have faith that you will rise above your problems and surprise everybody, most especially yourself, because Jesus is in you.

God Bless,

TrinityGrace

Im just really sad alot because I have been dealing with alot lately and its just all really hardto deal with my mom just got married to someone that hates me and is always picking fights with me, im pregnant, not married and dont have a permanent home who know which house ill be at tomorrow. I cant seem to find a good church, dont have a license or a job or even my high school diploma. I feel lost and angry all the time and people in my family just seem to not care. I hate complaining but i am just so tired of everything oh and i have no friends near me because they all moved and my babies daddy left me for someone else sorry if i sound like a whinny complaining person because thats not what im trying to be and i know alot of people will prolly think i brought it on myself well i already feel like i am the reason for all of it and that just makes me feel worse i dont like myself and i feel like everyone feels the same way or maybe worse i dont know what to do. im sorry

I am SO sorry that you aren't being supported by your family right now. You don't sound whiny at all, you sound like a girl who is feeling a little lost. I think the #1 thing you need to do is to find a good church. Also check out http://www.gabrielproject.com/ They will help you take care of your baby. We are all here for you and I'm praying!

Hi,
I am also 18 and if you ever need someone to talk to, feel free to private message me. I can also give you my email address if you would like. I would love to talk to you!
Its tough being this age and I can only imagine what its like dealing with what you are. Just know that people do care (like me).
Btw, when are you due? I am guessing it is a girl by your name? Congrats! Im sure youll be an awesome mommy!
As I said, feel free to message me. Id love to talk. I spend a ton of time with children, espcially babies so I know what it is like.
Praying for you,
Becky

babyallison,

I'm so sorry to hear that you were abused and went through an unnecessarily rough life. But you have to remember, with God, it doesn't matter what challeges and trials that are thrown our way - it's how we respond to them. No matter how bad it gets, please know you have a choice about how you are going to react to it. And I pray that you will respond with God on your side. Keep praying, reading the word. Do you read the bible often? I try to read everyday on a reading plan but I do slack sometimes. Get connected with other members of your family, like aunts, cousins, grandparents. I'm sure somebody will help you out. If you can't find support from your family, check out some local agencies that specializing in helping pregnant women in need. Please do not feel ashamed to apply for this help, because you are in a tough situation and you need to think of what will be best for your baby girl. So I pray that you get all the help that you need. Don't give up, babyallison, your baby girl is on her way and she needs you. You are going to be a great mom, I can tell! If you need to talk, pm me anytime.
I hope I didn't sound too preachy. I'm just giving you some feedback of what I would do if I were in your situation. Always praying, TG:crossrc:

I think it is time you and your siblings have an intervention with your mother and her husband. Just sit them down and tell them how it is. How you can hear whats going on between the two of them and how it makes you feel. I just urge you do this in a calm peaceful manner, and prey for better times.

PM me if you need to chat, and may His grace be with you
