• 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

Prayers please...

I've struggled with depression since I was 12, and when I get stressed out it comes back very strongly. Now is one of those times.
I'm so overwhelmed with school and nurse's training that I can't sleep at night. I don't want to eat. Last night I wanted to die. I didn't care anymore. And that's what scares me the most, is when I no longer care about anything.
So if you could please pray for me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
God bless

I really understand what you're going through. I've been suicidal since I was 5. I've always been really depressed. Since I'm a guy I'm not supposed to tell anyone otherwise I'm a wimp.

I'm trying to set up a doctor's appointment right now and no one is calling me back. That's not helping things at all.:(

Please, you're not a wimp. You've got guts to come out and say that, dude.

Leia, I'll keep you in prayer. I went through that once, not giving a crap about anything. Just remember, you two aren't alone. I've been down that road, too. I've been depressed, I've stopped caring, I've contemplated suicide, the whole bit. If you ever need to talk about anything of that sort, gimme a buzz. I listen, and I understand, got it? And...

You are no wimp whatsoever! I'm a guy too. Like they said when i was in the hospital for suicidal problems.. "the quote boys don't cry is inaccurate, because i cry everyday" - that was from a MAN, older than me, there at the hospital.

I hope and pray you get a dr.'s appointment set up. a good way to find doctors is on: searchbug dot com. you can find doctors near you there. or look in phone book. man i hope you can find someone. i'll be praying for you! :hug:

you take good care of yourself and keep in touch with me! and thanks for replying to my thread :)

Such a fragile age scares me, since i'm a mom with a son who's 18 months now!!

I've also been down the road of depression quite a lot! Sometimes for days, sometimes for months and as a teenager it lasted for about 3/4 years continually... (Tried suicide then, but failed!)

I think the bottomline is, that when we have our happier days or even just moments, it's good to remind ourselves to why we chose to live... FOR THOSE MOMENTS!!! (My son basically keeps me alive through depression now, because i can't imagine a better care giver for him than myself...) I know we must trust in God's love, but during major depression, it's even hard to believe that God can actually love me... (At least i know it when i survive the clouds of depression! ;) )

Kendra, I know how hard it is when you are depressed, I have been going threw it off and on for a while now, It took truly letting God into my life and telling him I was powerless and needed his guidance, You are a strong young lady and you will get throught this hard time, I will keep you in my prayers, I beleave you are a caring person. Your training to be a nures it takes a strong loving person to be a nurse. Remember to take time out for your self when you feel like you are getting to the stressed out point! praying for you, Michelle

I'm sorry for your depression, I also been going through it. Most people don't understand why you feel so moody. I do know how you feel, I am too like that. I feel like there is nothing worth living for anymore. Plus, this news of the rapture, flu, earthquakes and hurricanes can make someone depressed. I hope you feel better soon. :groupray:
