• 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.

Now before i go into this rant...i am sorry if this is the wron section..i just dont know where else to ask or post this for help..if any..

Since i was a child in pre-school i have been stealing,breaking rules,being a disobedient child as a whole. Growing up obviously led me into worser things, getting into drugs, underage sex, crime. As i got smarter i learnt about hacking and fraud. I have no idea how many lifes i have ruined with stealing peoples credit card info and details. Now you may think this to be a hoax, a forum troll. This is not, i am a horrible person, self serveing and not careing for others. I have stolen thousands, and probally ruined thousands of lives doing so. My life has always been full of sin as you call it. I have never seeked help from any god or any god preacher, but i feel this is my only hope in ever makeing myself feel better for everything ive done in life. I am still young, 19. And in that time ive probally sinned more times then satan himself in a lifetime. I am sorry if this is offending anybody but i need your opinions. Bad neighborhoods, bad parenting, never haveing a father to show me right from wrong. And i won't be bias i know what is right from wrong, but i only care about money and self serveing.

Please, i need help. I need to feel like everything ive done can be reversed. I am a sinner and a fraud. Please forgive me whatever that is that may look through my hate and anger and see what hurts inside.

I wan't to get out of here, fly away to another place and never look back. Start a new life where i won't have the same problems haunting me in every step. Im starting to feel death is the only awnser, and hell is where i belong.

In a way you can't undo what you have done, but you can make sure you don't do it again. If you change your ways, you can make up for the past. Remember that everyone has sinned, and everyone needs forgiveness. The great news is that when we ask for forgiveness, God forgives, so don't let your sins, no matter how big they feel, get in the way of changing.

You said you don't have any positive influences in your life, so something I would suggest is finding some. Have you considered attending a church?

Lost--

You may have hurt a lot of people, but you can be forgiven. You can also turn your life around, if you want--but this is where the work will start.

Your first step is to realize that Jesus Christ died for your sins. Jesus Christ is God, who came down from heaven and became man. He died so that we could be forgiven. The Bible says that all of us have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, Rom 3:23. It says that the wages of sin is death, Rom. 6:23. In other words, in sin we are all dead, and doomed to death and hell.

But here is hope: the bible says that God demonstrates His own love toward us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us, Rom. 5:8.

Salvation is a free gift, but you must ask for it.

The Bible says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, then you shall be saved, Rom. 10:9-10. It also says, Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, Romans 10:13.

You can be saved, but you have to ask Jesus Christ to come into your life and be your Lord and Savior. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins.

Pray something like this, "Lord Jesus, I believe that you are God. I believe that you came down from heaven to die for my sins. I ask you to come into my heart now and save me. I ask you to forgive me for all my sins. Amen."

Once you have done this, post here again. I will help you with the next step.

Have you ever read 'Run Baby Run' By Nicky Cruz. It's an amazing book about a street crim who got saved and tells the whole story. It's worth it if you can get a copy.
Another one is called 'We Dance Because We Cannot Fly'. That's great too.
God can save anyone, don't worry. You just have to put your hand up.
