• 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.

Now I have never heard of this one. I can say JUdgement day all day long and not get anxious But what does scare me is that maybe all the meds will poop out and I won't get any relief from any med. The benxo's no matter which one it is has failed. So I'm just facing this head on.

aw, dabro...don't worry about what might happen. focus on the present. live in the moment. it's easier said than done but it is possible....we will always struggle in this life. the important thing is to endure in Christ 'til the end...

Also, I really believe in
Matthew 9:2
On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.

If your "meds" do "poop out," you don't need them "need" them (as a child of the Living God). You just have to try to find peace in that...have faith in God and yourself in Christ.

Hi Dabro,
I kind of did that same thing for awhile. My obsession became, "what if I become hopelessly and incurably depressed for the rest of my life?" I had the same fears; "no medication will be able to help you, no therapy, no treatments of any kind, etc." For quite some time even the word "depression" or seeing commercials about depression and meds. would spike my anxiety horribly. In the end I had to treat this fear with exposure too, and it worked. So can you think of how you'd do exposure to this fear? Be creative.
Praying for you.
