• 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

Not sure if I need to seek help... and even if I did, I couldn't.

You see, I've suffered with depression in the past, but it faded with new ADD medication and moving to an alternative school to better fit my needs. The second half of this year has been AWESOME, not gonna lie. I've made great friends, and have gone from failing every class, to a perfect 4.0 in just one quarter of school.

I have many hopes and dreams; I am (for sure, not just saying it) joining the US Air Force. I can't be on any medication. No ADD meds, but it should be fine. I've been off them for a little while, and I've had some headaches, but nothing major, and now even those are gone. But what's happening, is I'm feeling myself fall back into that depression, with the departure of my 4 best friends, and other really close friends, and the thoughts that I'll probably never see my closest friend... at least not for a very long time, as he's moving across the country. I'm happy for them, and don't feel the need to be depressed. I can't hurt myself, because of the Air Force. But I also can't be in any therapy, because I need to be in top mental/physical condition. I recently had to get my old psychiatrist to give my medical records to my recruiter, and to verify that I'm healthy in mind and body. He's confirmed it.

I don't want to botch this up. But, I don't want to get myself into trouble. And why is this in an ED forum? Because I suffer with a certain one of those as well... but I feel I shouldn't get into, for fear that I won't be able to think about anything else.

This post is mainly about the ED, though... depression sort of goes hand in hand with it here...

I think mostly I'm just sort of venting my current problem.
