• 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.

I've come to you to ask you to pray that the Lord do something in my life to help turn around this depression and anxiety .
Meds. don't seem to have much of an effect, and I feel myself slipping a little more into it's grip each day. I can honestly say, I don't think a day goes by, that I don't want to just cry my eyes out. This isn't easy for me to share, but I need your prayers.
Thanx,
Chuck.:(

Dear Lord I come before you to ask you to be with Chuck. Depression and anxiety are wrecking his life and so far medications haven't helped. Please Lord easy the mental pain and bring Chuck back onto some level playing ground. If at all possible guide the doctors into finding some medictation which may be beneficial. We ask this of you in Jesus name
:amen:

Abba, You are the true and living God, You rule over all things visible and invisible. There is nothing that catches You by surprise, and there is nothing beyond Your reach. You know our rising up and our sitting down. You know when we go out and when we come in.

Lord Jesus, I ask that You would manifest Yourself as the Prince of Peace to Chuck right now. And that Your presence would be more real to them than his depression. If it is according to Your will, Lord, rebuke the spirits of fear and anxiety that have been assigned to Chuck and cancel the schemes tearing down his faith, and hindering his destiny.

Lord Your word says, "The righteous cry out, and You hear them and deliver them from all their troubles." Deliver Chuck now from all his fears, and enable him to cast all his cares upon You. Fill him with Your Holy Spirit, and empower him to fight fear with unwavering faith in You. I pray in Jesus' mighty Name, Amen!

If you are on medication and it isn't working, have you told your doctor? Do you have anyone you can talk to about your depression and anxiety with in person and somewhat regularly?

Please know you aren't alone and it can get better.

Drink plenty of water and eat veggies. Sit with your feet on the ground. Breathe deeply. Try to get regular exercise and sun when possible. Take time every day to do something for yourself- even if you can only afford five minutes. Don't let yourself over sleep. And don't isolate!

Medicine can take a while to start working, so give it time before getting frustrated with it. And talk to your doctor about it regularly- if it works or doesn't work. This can get better, it just can take a while sometimes.

Dear Lord,

Please help Amin in this time of struggle. Show him how much you love him; give him special glimpses of your love and care for him that he can treasure in his heart.

Heal him Lord, from the depression he is experiencing; be his comfort when he is hurting and sad. I pray for fellowship to support him during this time, and to pray for him when he can't pray and to help hold him up.

Lord, he is a wonderful man of God, a wonderful brother, and I pray you would help him out of this valley, and renew his mind and give him peace and hope.

I pray too for medications that would help Lord if that be your will for him. I pray for good communications with the doctors and that you would give the doctor wisdom in treating him.

Thank you Lord.

In Jesus name I pray.
Amen

Don't know about the rest of us here, but I'm sure glad to see you back at CF. Been missing you!

~Witness

Hi C W, I left for a short time because my struggles seem to be overwhelming me. I didn't feel as tho I belonged around other christians because I thought I could be of no use to anyone feeling this way. Then I thought about what Tapero said about being here so others could pray for me when I couldn't. It's hard for me to ask for help sometimes. But I decided her words had much wisdom. I really need your prayers. Thanks for your kind words.
Chuck.:hug: :wave:
