• 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

A poem I wrote after a psychotic episode opened my eyes to our Lord in me.

I See

I see the Chosen
the dust of the earth
......Awaiting.....
the great awakening
......Awaiting.....
A New Beginning
We all died to the old.

I look up in hope
relief at last
no pain will remain
after birthing is done
The hurt lies in the past
now only awaiting time
to stop bleeding.

I hear God's children rejoicing
The great throng praising,
What Joy is ours?
Life everlasting
doesn't die again
not now..
..or ever!

I see Holy, Holy, Holy
Worthy of all adoration
Numbered existence gone.
Forever praising
The Lamb
for what He's done
for ALL of us.

Amen.

We all have breakdowns. At least I do. Pushed far enough, and the vents start to get pressurized. It happens. No biggie.

Yes, especially when we feel trapped in a difficult place. No job, transportation, no money, no recreation, no normal human function whatsoever, and no escape. Its like a nightmare.

I'm far from normal in every way. I feel totally detached from life. Its unreal. Its so hard being this way. These words seem useless too, just like my life. People say online fellowship isn't real but that's my life, its all atypical and so difficult. They frustrate me when they scoff at online fellowship. They turn the only fellowship I have into a meaningless thing.. They take what little freedom I have and turn it into a prison. They have jobs, cars, churches, friends, and the internet too, and they cant even share the internet. They turn it into a prison instead of using it to open up a doorway to liberty. It does frustrate me.

At least that's how I feel about it anyway. For years I hoped for a miracle but none came. My dignity and livelihood stripped from me, and I kept hoping. I had a roof over my head so it could be worse, but still I'm not even human anymore. Compound that with other problems I struggle with, that I cant even talk about, and its easy to see how I could freak out and lose control. Having a job and recreation is essential to good mental health.

I wont complain though, nor pass my burdens onto others. I just ask for understanding. Just listen and understand, that's all I ask and want. I'm working with my meds doctor, and perhaps they will find a job suitable for my disabilities. That's my hope.

Its good that you have shared it.

I understand 100% as my life is the pits! Really, it is!

I am a massive sinner. Wife hates me. I have nowhere to turn. I am living in a bubble. Yea, ok, 70% my fault.

I pray everyday for death. Life, for me, is meaningless.

You are not alone in your suffering. You would be surprised how many people are going through what you are going through.

What is the answer?

Wish i knew really. I plod on. Ever darkening tunnel. Tried talking to wife today and she doesn't want to know. We are only together because of our daughter.

I am supposed to go to church today as, for a Catholic, it is a day of obligation. You know, i cant! Why? Because i need confession. I have sinned badly yet again. I am a big failure my friend.

Sorry to offload like this.

I love you brother. I always have. You are a great guy at least you sorry you went wrong so many don't care one little bit.

Please don't drag yourself through the dirt for it any longer but forgive especially where you have guilt in action. Jesus will clean what hasn't been cleaned yet and set you free. However you to be like our Heavenly Father and brother and forgive yourself, and everybody else as well who is sorry and pray those who are not will be and stop doing more wrong to loving hearts.

I pray To Jesus that you will learn to drink His blood and eat His flesh and not just a little bit of wine and bread and think that will fix it. For you can seen that this didn't work for you. For you still have so much guilt and no New life in this yet my dear brother. Your and other peoples sin is still hurting the hell out of you.

Grace brother. Drink God's grace and keep drinking until you are free from guilt. Only then can things begin to improve for you. Once all of your guilt has been replaced with grace then you know Jesus has washed you clean and you will be a very different man than you often feel now. This may take a few years but so what you will be restored along the way instead of not getting away from the pain.

Never believe any accusations against you that hurt dear brother, and certainly not words spoken by people, or God's Word, who/which love you, so as to correct the wrong inside hurting you where the hurt inside you hurt you even more instead of fix it.

Simply keep dropping your pain off at Christ feet and drink and eat yourself into Him accepting His loving grace.

Much love
