• 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.

Ok I'm not sure if this thread will be allowed but here goes.....
What would your guys last resort be if you could no longer carry on with your life as you knew it? A last ditch attempt to avoid commiting suicide. This is a serious question. If you had exaused all avenues of help. Would you dissapear and start your life somewhere else for example.

Hi.

If all else fails I will have to get used to being just me, as I am, sick and all.
What I mean to say is that for me suicide is not an option neither do I want to pack-up and leave my family. So if medications fail me than I will have to get used to being sick. :sick:

It would be very very hard that much I know.

Thought of what would my death do to my mother. Animal instinct of fear of death.

hmm.. what brought about this question? Can we help you?

I would work at changing my life, probably drastically. I would not move away or anything like that. To me, family is very important and vital to have, the right members that is, and there is such a thing as having the wrong people around you at the worst times. Getting a different outlook on life may help, too.

Hi :wave:
As much as we often feel that running away will free us from the pain and torture we live in....it will not! Most of our struggles are within ourselves so wherever we go, the issues go with us! Don't run away! That wouldn't solve anything. If you are having issues with your family or someone, moving out might be necessary, but the issues still have to be dealt with. The world would be missing a very valuable/irreplaceable part if you took your life :hug: ! Please don't resort to that! Pray for God to strengthen you and to help you get the help you need! What is so bad, that you want to end your life?

Right now I'm at my last resort, just putting it off. I'll tell myself, "eh, I'll do it tomorrow," and then tell myself the same thing the next day. Eventually even that won't work, and that's how I'll know that it's time. People won't like it. But if what I feel doesn't matter to them, then why should what they feel matter to me?

But if you want to talk, I'm offering an ear. would love to hear from ya. The icon says I'm Christian, but I'm kinda on the fringe, so no worries. ;)

...if it we could only to call a loved one to talk, consider it.

...if we could only reach out to others in our deepest despair, think about it.

If we could only accept our fragility and limited capacity without others, try it.

My request of the OP is to take small steps forward...to reveal herself to others...to grab her chance to bond with those that can help and comfort her- let it be here, let it be in private, let it be for others sake- because her ultimate new found strength will help others some day..one day at a time.

Thanks guys. I feel right now that I have to do a major thing to try and right this, but I cant think. My mind is just not working and I find this really hard. I don't want to kill myself because part of me still hopes that good experiences might come my way, but I'm despairing more and more of that.
I wish I could explain this thick, black tar that is suffocating me. But there are no words. It's worse than any physical pain I've ever felt. I no longer exist. It's just this "thing" now, and I want to kill it so bad. I hate it, but it is me now.
I cant think of any more things to kill it without killing me that will work. That's why I wrote this thread. I desperately need some ideas.

I totally understand that black cloud/tar thing you are feeling but IT IS NOT YOU!!!!! I don't know what you belive in but I believe and know that there is an evil force working in this world, someone who's goal is to "kill, steal and destroy"! Satan, the devil! Jesus said that his (satan) purpose was to "kill, steal and destroy"! He wants you dead!! He is filling you mind with deadly thoughts. Please do not listen to those thought!! Please reach out to others for help! Please go see your doctor! If you already have,then go back! If he is useless, then go see someone else! Go to a councellor! Your life is so valuable, don't fall for the lies that it isn't. You can't just sit by yourself and let this incompass you. You need to talk to someone who can help you. Go to the hospital if necessary! You may not believe in God but I do, so I will be praying for you. I will pray that this darkness will be lifted, that you mind will be cleared, that you will be able to reach out to the people around you, that you will find the right people to help you, that you will live!! Sending you big hugs :hug: !!! Hang in there. You can PM me if you need to talk more.
