• 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 work in a christian place helping the homeless , however my boss has been making it really hard for me over the past year over little things and threatens to sack me because of the depression and susposedly not meeting deadlines. I am though but not as efficient as i should be.
My contract runs out in June 05. I dont know whether i could cope with another job at the moment especially one that in the secular world. I struggle day to day now but hide behind my mask but that is failing.

I would like to tell someone about my Si as alot of people are getting to know or thinking somethings up but if i mention to anyone at work then it would get back to my pastor. They have not been very supportive and i cant be honest with them that i am seeing therapists at the hospital.

If it was someone from a different church it would still get back as we are all closely linked. Even then i am scarred at what they think. But more and more i feel it would be out in the open soon and i dont know how to approach it.

Are there any resources that have helped either christian or not?

So fed up.

well...I have never quite been in the situation that you are in right now, but, however, I do know that you need to have faith in God and believe that He will take care of you no matter the circumstance or what happens. I understand the feeling of depression, but what doesn't make sense is what it is about your job that is making you so depressed that you can't seem to make deadlines and stuff like that. I would like to try t help if I can or at least be there to talk to if you would like. I will pray for you.

Hmmm....this doesn't seem Christian......Christians can be very tough to work with and sometimes even secular businesses are better than Christian ones.....maybe you could try it for a while??? It might be worth a try......especially if they are acting that way at your job and not feeling sorry for you...that is just horrible.....PM me if you want to talk...I too have SI'd and have depression...and anxiety....so, I understand what you're going through to a certain extent and would love to help if I can. With all my love, Lauren
