• 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.

"lurking" is the only word that comes to mind to describe this feeling.
I'll be having a good time, doing fun things with great people, and as soon as I slow down for a second, it hits me. I'll feel it. So sad, lonely, hopeless. My meds have helped me to become socially active, but now it's like my depression just chases me whereever i go, waiting for me to stop.
When I'm away, I feel homesick. When I'm home, I feel bored and hopeless with my life.
I just dont know what to do.:sigh:
Today was my birthday, and as soon as I finished lunch with my mom, I was ready to start crying, because it was all over.

:help:

You need an adjustment of your medications. I would go and visit the doctor if I was you.

i know how u feel, as soon as i'm alone in my room it all comes crashing down again. expect for tonight i confessed to my housemates for the first time that i was feeling so low had a bit of cry and a talk, and now when i'm here alone i don't feel quite so bad. i guess part of the reason i crashed so hard when i was alone was cos i was keping it a secret the rest of the time. but thats just me.

I DO need my meds adjusted. But I just can't be bothered to try, it took two years to convince my doctor I needed them in the first place, even though I was exhibiting many signs and have both a family history of depression and my parents violent divorce in my background.
I dont know what to do.

I really advise you to visit your doctor even if it is going to be hard. Please consider, why be depressed if you don't have to be?
