• 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.

Please..I need your help with someone who wants to kill himself....

I know i probably don't even know how you feel now but i'll be praying for you. There is no point in going for extremes. It just doesn't work whether you think so or not.

What is the basis of your problem? Is it complete depression from an unknown reason or is there alot of things bugging you?

Hey dude I'm sorry for what you are feeling and going through.  I'm not really sure what to say to ya...cept that I will pray for you.  But the Bible says that God will not put on your shoulders more than what you can bear.  If your not saved just ask God sincerely to come into your life and he will...and he'll take care of everything.  If you are saved then thats great!  Read 2 Chronicles 20 especially verse 17.  If you are saved and one of God's he will help you through whatever you are feeling.

I know it's rough sometimes man, but you just gotta stay strong in the Lord.  If its feeling you can't get rid of and feel like you have no control of them like they are not even yours or coming form you...try getting annointed in your church...as this does help.  But definitely stay strong and don't let Satan claim your soul so easy this way...for suicide=death in hell...and you don't need to go there...not like this bro.  It's hard being a Christian no doubt...but eternal life in heaven will be worth it.

Try rebuking your evil thoughts in the name of the Lord...tell Satan to leave you alone. James 4:7 Submit to God, Resist the devil, and he will flee from you!  But if you don't know God as your personal Savior man, you gots to do that first and foremost.  But I will be praying for you.

Peace Out! :cool:

BTW broken machine, you have the potential to break out of what you're in right now. You are way to awesome to give up your entire life. God has such a wonderful plan for you. I can understand that you can't see it, or even have all your problems fixed instantly even though you want it to. Pray to God. No wait. SCREAM to Him. Cry out in an empty field and cry out your entire life to Him. I guarantee you things will get better. Let God take the load off your back.

Still praying for you :pray:

I can't take the madness any longer! The sexual desires, the hate, the aggravation, sadness, and failure. I can't think, sleep, eat or even go to school. I've decended even lower than I ever imagined and the thoughts are becoming worse and worse. For once I seek redemption but know it to be in vain. I made it ten miles high, can't tell my truth from my lies. My contemplation of suicide has reached new extents with even the actual plotting. Maybe I wish I could try.

It won't give up it wants me dead.

Many, a person has been at the same point as you. It doesn't lessen the pain of where you are at presently, but know that many have been at places in our life where the only option seemed to be complete and total destruction.

I speak as one who has been at the point of wanting to end it all because I saw no way out of my depression, my enslavement to various sins which created such self-loathing.

I don't know if you have truly asked Jesus to come into your life and surrender yourself unto Him. This surrender of our lifes is what will bring about the victory.
Jesus died and shed His blood to set the captives free. For me there was no other way but to cry out to God and plead to Jesus to come into my life and take over my life for I had made a horrible shambles of my life before coming to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior.

The "it" you speak of is Satan.

I PETER 5:8
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour


Jesus defeated Satan, sin and death at the Cross at Calvary.

The only way to be freed from the bondage of sin is to Ask Jesus Christ into your life, ask forgivness and ask for His help. He will not let you down.

Jesus tells us He will never leave us!

What peace I find in this, in this troubled world that we live in.

Satan seeks to destroy that which God loves the most, His creation of mankind.

Jesus, and Jesus alone holds the keys to unlock the doors of the sin we have entrapped ourselves into.

Call out to the very God that created you. Jesus, turns no man or woman away that calls upon His name for Salvation.

If you need to find more about Jesus read the Gospel of John. Therein is described the Lord of Lords, and King of Kings, Jesus Christ, who died for the sins of the world.

hey broken machine i would like to tellyou a story. you can take this any way you want but i would like to tell you about me and depresion.

I have had depression a few times and i'm 16. Last year however it was very bad. I got worse and worse til i was very bad and thought of killing myself many times a day. I had plans and i just about pulled them many times. I stayed at a house an hour from my home wif some friends (a youth group leader theres house). Well one of these friends was mean to me with out trying (flirted wif the guy i liked and she knew i liked him) and that made me upset coz everything upset me so much...
I went and layed down in my room (where i was sleeping that nite) and cried and cried and cried now i started thinking of this plan again. and i had some way of pulling it but i can't remember how now. Well i layed there in a ball crying and i felt these arms go around me (just like how someone would give you a hug when you are upset and laying in a ball). I didn't want someone to see me like this so i opened my eyes to see who it was and no one was there. god was there with his arms around me comforting me and i'm sure he wants to be there for you as well.
Another time i was upset at a camp because my exbf had just got another girl (we'd just "properly" broken up and we'd been together for 7 months and half togethr for the next 3) (this was about 2 months ago the camp) and i cried and when we had to go to bed i told someone to pray for me.. They told me they did that nite what i believe made me give the 120 pills to someone else that i had popped 5 of and also gave me the space to cry out alot of the pain ok?

GOD IS THERE FOR YOU!!! if you have to believe anything, believe that!
He does not want you to die and says that he does not want you to hurt yourself (cover your self wif violence) in Malachi 2:16
DO not committ suicide ok? it doesnot accomplish anything. suicide is not a way of getting attention as others may think... it's a way of getting out of something that is at bad as it can get and still is getting worse.

I dont' personally know you but i knohow you feel and i know it is hard

I would likeyou to do one thing for me... get some counselling... you think you can get over it by yourself without counselling maybe but you most likely can't
especially if anti-depressants

I would like to pray foryou coz i think it would be demonic as well

Lord i pray for this person. i pray you will break any spirits of depression over his life is Jesus Name. Let him go free. thankyou lord
In jesus name amen

THE BIBLE SAYS TO FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH.
THE DEVIL DOES NOT WANT TO BEAT YOU UP THAT IS JUST ALL HE IS CAPABLE OF RIGHT NOW.
WHAT THE DEVIL WANTS IS TO KILL YOU!
HE WILL ONLY WIN IF YOU STOP FIGHTING HIM HE CAN ONLY HURT YOU IF YOU LET HIM.
IF YOU STOP FIGHTING HE WINS OVER YOU AND YOU WILL DIE!
BUT GOD HAS MADE A WAY OUT FOR YOU IF YOU WANT IT.
TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THIS YOU WILL NOT ONLY BE HURTING YOUR SELF BUT ALSO EVERYONE WHO EVER KNEW YOU AND EVERYONE WHO EVER LOVED YOU.
ENCLUDING GOD WHO LOVES YOU MORE THAN YOU KNOW OR WILL EVER KNOW IF YOU GIVE UP.
YOU SEE MY DAD WAS FIGHTING HIS WHOLE LIFE AND HE GAVE UP AND IT HURT ALL OF US THAT HE LEFT BEHIND.
EVERYTHING YOU ARE FEELING IS NOT FROM GOD IT IS FROM THE DEVIL AND EVERY THING HE SAYS IS A LIE!
DONT BELIEVE HIS LIES!
YOU ARE LOVED AND YOU WOULD BE MISSED! <IMG onmouseover="this.style.cursor='hand';" style="CURSOR: hand" onclick="smilie(':pray:');" alt=pray src="http://www.christianforums.com/images/smilies/pray.gif" border=0>

I just started reposting and dont know the whole story but i will post what i know about life and this situation.

Sunday I lost my girlfriend (cheated on me), Wed. lost my job b/c of being sick.&nbsp;I still havent found out whats wrong with my pain in my abdomine (spell), i was really down and hurt...thought about it a couple times....was also dealing with a friend that was having some of the same problems with his girlfriend....well i just started thinking and seeing how much better i was off without her really made me feel a lil better.

I just dont think anything is worth it even if u do think it there is something out there thats better for u or u will like. Sometimes life has hard times...I just started praying and i felt better after doing it.&nbsp; There is alot more to life than what u see sometimes.&nbsp;I have been labeled as a whiner, punk, u name it and yes it makes u feel bad but u can just go pray, talk to someone, if anything ur parents will be there...im 19 yrs old and i cryed in my moms arms the other night b/c i was so down.

I have thought about it plenty of times....but some how i get out of it and im much better off.....sometimes just step back and take a look at what u have

Will

My friend (who is not a Christian) got made fun of and laughed at by people in school, some of whom claim to be Christians. She now suffers from clinical depression and has attempted to kill herself a few times, now she is on medication and seeing a therapist; she is slowly recovering from what took someone 5 seconds to do&nbsp;to her, and will now take years for her to recover from. The same thing happened to me, although I am not as bad as her, I have never tried to kill myself, although I have seriously considered it.

People become suicidal when the pain of living out balances the mind's coping resources, so the person begins to consider killing himself to make the pain end, eventually, if gone untreated they will eventually collapse under the weight and attempt suicide.

People will tell you "oh you have a demon in you, pray to God and you'll be ok", or "Christians have no reason to be depressed, you must be doing something wrong" all these things are untrue and will only make you worse. Definitely pray to God, but God has given man the knowledge of medicine and psychology, so use it. Depression has a biological component, sure it could be triggered by something spiritual and psychological, but in the end it's an illness just like the common cold, or cancer and it can be treated.

The fact that you are here, and still alive means there is still apart of you that wants to live.&nbsp; You come here talking about hopelessness and depare and death, this is actually your way of crying out for help, it's hard for people to tell someone "I want to kill myself" so they throw hints, because they want to stay alive, despite what their mind is going through.

Please go see a doctor, they will help you if you explain the seriousness of the situation.
