• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

how long have you been on your medication? Remember that medication can take up to 3 months to work - especially antidepressants. I understand your problem with praying - when you feel alone and scared you want a presence that it human not spiritiual - I feel like that sometimes too. Please remember that there are always people who can help you if you reach out to them, if you need me, you can PM me and I can write you - I've been in your position, sometimes I am in your position so I can understand. If necessary try to have your appointment moved forward - tell them it's an emergency.

I have been on the medication for a year. I tried getting my appointment moved forward but they said that there was nothing that they could do. It's like I am stuck with no options.:cry: I guess the only thing that I can do is pray. :prayer:

Can anyone help you to get the appointment moved forward? Sometimes getting someone else to ring or write, a friend, teacher, pastor, family, can help. If not, is there anywhere else you can go for support? Some Churches in the UK have counsellors or if not, there are Christian counsellors you can see, or just someone from Church or school.
I'll certainly pray for you though, that the Lord sends you the help and support you need. And remember, you can always come here for support too.

Continue to harrass them, just keep on tellng them you need to see someone. Keep praying, pray without ceasing!!! If you want to talk PM me. Try to pamper yourself, do something nice - it helps.

Sounds like you need to try a different medication.

If you want someone to talk to, contact me on msn or pm. However, i suggest you at least let those close to you know, as maybe they can help in some way.
I told my mom and my grandmother that I was getting more and more depressed. My mom found me a counselor, but I don't know how to talk to a complete and total stranger! Thanks for everyone's input.
