• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

well ive been struggling with these awful feelings for around 5 years or so, and only recently started being treated for depression [although im not convinced it is depression yet]

anyways. im trying my hardest to be more open about my feelings and therefore ive joined CF to have a listening ear from some christians.

im not asking for your prayers or anything, as i feel so selfish doing so. but maybe someone just to listen or to talk to somebody feeling the same as myself, as I am more than happy to listen to others

thankyou :)

Welcome
Maybe reading the posts of depressed people will clarify your own position.
At CF you are allowed to ask people to pray for you. We have some awesome pray warriors on board.

God bless.

It's easy to deny but
hard to admit and come to terms with.
It brings a stigma and some shame.
All unwarranted yet part of the battle.
Continue to seek solutions.

Welcome aboard. We are here to listen and give advice from our own experience with depression. We are also here to pray for one another. Asking for prayer is not selfish at all. It is a priviledge and command from the Lord, pray for one another, love one another. We are here to support you any way we can. If you don't feel comfortable sharing in an open forum PM and I will do my best to help.....God Bless You

Welcome to cf there is no shame in asking for prayer. We are happy to pray for you and hope you find this place a safe haven. Never be sorry for asking for prayer as Christians we are told to pray for one an other.
Love
