• 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

I hope you are seeing a professional for your depression and also your physician. If you are not, you would feel so much better if you got proactive about it. Talk to your physician and also try some counseling. It does help and it also gives you more options in dealing with issues.

Praying for you,
Kim

It is possible to become someone better and stronger than you were before depression hit. :hug: I'm in the middle of it now but I know that to be a fact.

God is there for you. Cling to Him if you can.
And get professional help if you haven't already. Suicidality is something that needs to be dealt with. Perhaps antidepressants might do you some good, perhaps you could try exercising more, go out for a run every day, that sort of thing.

You're in my prayers. If you need someone to talk with, I'm here. :hug: God bless and stay strong.

i don't really have the money and my parents are against it. i told them i need help but they don't think seeing a therapist is the right way to deal with it.

i want to talk to my pastor about the suicidal thoughts but it will definitely be a difficult thing for me to come out and admit..and i don't really know how to go about saying it either.....

EDIT

thank you soo much for listening and taking the time to reply to my post. it means a lot to me...especially tonight...

You really need to see a doctor, at least. You may have some sort of chemical imbalance which is causing the depression to get worse. Blood tests may show what the imbalance is. If you are having suicidal thoughts, then you may need anti-depressant drugs to bring your brain chemistry back to normal. I'm sure that if your parents knew how serious this has become, they would not mind giving you the money to get help. Your life is more important than money. Please try to get the help that you need.

I sit here crying for you. Before I saw yoru post I just wrote a blog about my struggle with depression.
Profeesional help is recommended. The hardest thing is getting people who have never suffered from serious depression to recognise the reality of where you are at.
Jesus is the key, but medicines are one of His answers too.
Father God, I pray for your dear child, and I ask that your would surround him with help.

Hold in there,please, and don't give up. I know it is so hard now, and hard for people who are not going through this to understand, though you may wish much for them to. But you can get through this-hold on, turn to Jesus in your pain, and hang on...

I have struggled with Depression for many years so I know how you feel. It can be a very dark place to be. All I can say is there is a light at the end of the tunnel. I am the proof. God will carry you through this. Hold onto that. If you ever need to talk let me know.

Take care and God Bless I am praying for you!

It's kind of like the gold being purified in the fire.
The hard thing is sticking it out
This is very true! I'm proof. I have walked through the fire and I'm refined so much better because of it. I see things so much differently.
