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.

Hello puppy...Well, I've been feeling a little better. I've tried indulging myself in some movies...I just don't have the staying power to sit down and watch a whole movie though...I don't know why...lol I just don't...lol
In other news...I'm kind of sleepy...but I woke up this morning and there was a verse in my head that just made me laugh...or rather, made me smile. "If you can confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that 'Jesus is Lord' then you will be saved." How simple is that?
It was the weirdest thing to me this morning though because I was so tired and just feeling...down I guess. Anyways...I was sitting here, and I could say that verse w/o the 'Jesus is Lord' part. I thought to myself, "I can say that verse, but I honestly can't say from my heart that Jesus is Lord." And well, wouldn't you know...five minutes later I said it! lol And, quite honestly...I think I just said it out of complete exhaustion. It was quite funny...but quite relieving at the same time.
So, I'm saved...although...I don't have the joy that I used to...or the Love...not yet anyways. I'm waiting for that...I'm waiting for it to just fall out of the sky...lol I really want it. I don't care as much about material things anymore as I used to...I like nice clothes...but...why wear nice clothes when you don't feel a lot of joy in your heart? I only wear nice clothes when I feel that warm feeling inside of me. I refuse to try and be someone I'm not. I refuse to try and impress others if I'm not feelin it...ya know.
I want my joy and my love back...the REAL LOVE that I had before...not just this I'm playing around and having fun stuff. I'm tired of being stupid and silly...but sometimes, I don't know what else to do...I just follow my heart and do what I feel at the moment, or say what I feel...
I'm tired of being 20, and feeling 12. That's not what I want...I want something serious and lasting. I think I'm calming down though...but...the one thing that brings me through this is that at least I know I'm going back to college and I'm getting a job soon. At least something small to start out with.
I am not giving up college....I refuse! lol I refuse to let the fact that I'm tired keep me out of college. I'll drag myself if I have to...lol Seriously. I will finish up my credit hours...and, I would LIKE to transfer to a larger university and get my bachlor's. Oh, I know I know, plans are just plans and not reality...not yet neways. I still have time to catch up on any necessary sleep before the Fall semester.
God Bless.

wish I'm by his side now 
... but even I can be by his side now... I couldn't look up to him... I know he will still love me but...I am such a failure... .... yet being by his side is better... I hate this world.

I am praying for you blackrain that everything works out for you and I'm also praying very hard for you endearing as well! I feel like a failure as well. But, I know, I'm not. I'm worked too hard and come too far to be a failure...that's how you should view yourself as well endearing...you've came too far to feel like that. We all have...that's why we continue. I have so much more to write as well! I hope you feel better soon endearing...and if not, feel free to e-mail me or PM me if you're not feeling better really soon. I mean it.
hmmm, puppy, I haven't made up my mind yet what I want to study in college. I kinda feel like blackrain does...feels like I'm dreaming all this, but I don't think so...or hope not. I think I worry too much...feels like I'm living in my own little world...lol I haven't yet picked a major...maybe business administration again. It's such a broad field and you can do a lot with a business degree. I don't want to choose anything too limiting that may limit my chances of getting a job. My cousin majored in psychology and is now working at a computer company, but who is to say that he may not use his psychology degree later in life. As for me though, I think business administration would be a good field to go in to right now. I'm still kind of researching it. I need to decide very soon though.
It is SO late! lol I still need to get my days and nights back together. I'll write more later. Thanks for the comments everyone!

He is by your side! Even if you can't see Him, He is alive and well and watching over you. We're all in the same boat so don't you worry about being a failure. His grace covers your failures. It's all taken care of, paid for and all you have to do is believe in Him. Now, I know Jesus wants you to start enjoying your life.Endearing lil Influenza said:wish I'm by his side now
Praying for you!
God Bless.
