• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Please pray for me

Hello...

My name is Jessica and I am struggling and would like some prayer. I have been depressed for quite some time and have been feeling suicidal for awhile. I was reading on the internet that borderline personality disorder is related to chronic suicidal ideation. Reading that made me feel even more hopeless than ever. I need prayer big time!! I think about suicide almost daily. Part of me wants to end it all to escape the pain... but I can't bear the thought of the effect that that would have on my family. I know that this is a tempation for me and I need God's strength and grace. Please please pray that I will be open to God's spirit and that He will release me from this. Thank you
Jessica

((Jessica)) I know you are struggling and feeling hopeless, but there is hope in your post. You came here and posted and asked for help and prayers. That is hope. Are you working with a doctor or therapist or priest? I hope there is someone in real life you can talk to about these things. I pray that your turmoil will ease and your mind will rest. I pray that God surrounds you with His love and comfort. God bless you.

I have a granddaughter named Jessica, so I will certainly pray for you! As for suicidal thoughts I have lived an entire life time without life insurance. For the simple reason that in times of trouble and I would start thinking about how much better off my family would be without me. I just couldn't leave them financially crippled. I know to a young person it is hard to understand. But it has I am sure HELPED me
MAY GOD BLESS YOU,
MELNIGHTMAN
