• 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'm so sorry you are hurting so, jo. I hesitated to come on this forum because I struggled with depression SO much for years. I understand your feelings. You mentioned in another post about not feeling loved by God. He does love you, jo. Jesus died for you--if you'd been the only person on the planet, He still would have died--just for you.

There's a post on this forum at the top about who you are In Him. Please read these scriptures and read them again and again. Let them get into your heart so that you will come to know how very important you are to God and to the Body of Christ. Say them out loud. I used to do something like that. I made a tape. I sounded SO low. But after a few weeks, I was able to make a new tape and was in a somewhat better frame of mind. The devil is trying to attack my mind now and I'm praying, kicking the devil out of my head and hope I will persevere and not get where I've been at other times.

The devil is trying to steal from you. I know how hard it is, but try to keep your mind stayed on God. When the devil tries to plant those awful thoughts in your head, tell him he must flee in the Name of Jesus. He'll keep coming back, but keep telling him he's a liar and a defeated foe. Greater is He that is in you and he that is in the world.

Here's an exercise for you. Laugh at the devil. He's the deceiver and is roaming around looking for whom he may devour. Tell him he CAN'T have you. Jesus' Blood covers you and he can have no place in you. Laugh. At first its really, really hard. But do it anyway. Keep doing it--laugh him right out of your mind and your house. It takes some persistence (at least for me), but eventually he will back off. He will always try to put those thoughts in your head because he's sneaky and he know just where to get us. But the more we meditate on God's Word day and night, the more we listen to His Holy Spirit in us, the less of a foothold he can get in our lives.

Don't give up. I'm praying for you.
