• 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.

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.

Heya Gang,

I know I have this thing for sharing my findings into my faith and understanding of depression over the months.

Today I know the answer to a question that was formed long ago. Question even made up part of my own depression cause answer was so elusive.

I am a researcher! lol Gift that God bestowed me is the drive to research problems and my enjoyment of sharing my findings to help others with the same problem.

As such I been self evaluating myself last couple of months to overcome problems I had for years. If it weren't for my faith and hope that God lead me to this day, I never made the climb.

I want to encourage EVERY one of you reading this. DO NOT GIVE UP HOPE OR WALK AWAY FROM YOUR FAITH! Day will come when you finally get the answers you seek. Keep knocking on doors, keep asking questions, keep seeking.

Love you all, my Great Father, and my Lord. :groupray:

James

Thanks for your post. I was actually looking in this forum to share some of my own concerns at the moment when I read yours, which relates a lot to my own situation. (i don't want to get off topic in this post so i'll start another one)

I'm pretty analytical and obsessive myself, which has something to do with my depression. but it also make me really search out the things in life. It's great to hear you are finding things out. It's wonderful when the Lord sheds a little light on our own personal journeys.

In Christ...

:preach: God is sovereign He can press those grapes, collect the sap and make the wine. He will use these ungodly wrongs we so often bump into and transform them to right. Let's understand our struggle from the right perspective - we NEED HIM to DO the CHANGING. Remember we are completely safe in His hand. :prayer:

Let's stay firm holding out in faith. :thumbsup:
