• 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

Hi,

I'm new here, and I've just been busy reading all your posts. I've been posting at several different depression boards, but none of them ever reply to me. I am severely depressed due to some really bad life circumstances. I believe in God, but I think He hates me. As time goes by, maybe I'll tell you what's going on, but not right now as I don't trust these boards. The other ones I've been to, well, if you're not a member of their "cliques", they won't bother with you. I don't think that this one will be that way, as you are all Christian people. Just pray for me now if you will.:crossrc:

In His love,
Melanie

Hey Mel, Prayers sent. All I know is God loves us all. Even in hard times He has not gone anywhere. Sometimes He allows us to go through hard times to produce character in us and to make us more reliant in Him. In the past I was one to give up on God when things got hard. I gave up hope and turned to alcohol. Now I have learnt to lean on God in the harder times and ask for prayer. I read this somewhere, "Nothing you can do will make God love you more, nothing you can do will make God love you less."

God does not hate you, even if your life is a mess or whatever is going on.

The people on this board do not seem cliquey at all, they are faithful prayers, I found this out recently. God bless you sister in Christ, and I pray you find some happiness soon.

Good morning, Melly

God does not hate anyone. God loves Melly, God loves Melly more than she could ever know.

I think you will enjoy this forum.

It is like none other. I think you will find much support here. Lots of Christian that struggle every day just like you and I struggle.

Please visit often and your experiences in life and how you cope will be a stepping stone for someone else.

In His Grace, I am

Hi Melanie-sounds like I could have wrote your post! I too have been suffering with depression since I was a teenager due to circumstances. That's 30 years of this battle! I am praying for you and if you need someone to talk to-I feel I can definetly relate to you. You can private message me if you would like chat just one on one. Praying for you in our battle against depression, Lori:pray:
