• 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.

I'm sure i'm not the only person who wakes up and some days just can't find a reason to get up in the morning. Sometimes i really struggle to think of any reason....

So i'm starting this so we can all share those reasons that we get up for.

My reasons are that if i get up, i can have contact with people, that i wont be totally and utterly alone.
And if i can face college then i can achieve something, even if it's just one lesson.

Know the feeling all too well. Like your a charactor for a story... but you have no role to fill. You just exist.

The problem is that you are not pursuing your passion and living a life of loneliness and fear. I tell you this, deep inside you is something unique and awesome. Problem is that now one showed this to you or nurtured it at all. Fear create invisible barriers that no matter how many people around you, still only person there.

This is just a sign that lost your ability to grow. Really work on reading the Word of God, let the Lord's wisdom become the solid rock you build your house on. ( Luke 6:46-49 ) Set up an appointment with counsellor and work on learning your negitive beliefs. Discover the line of thinking that prevents you from walking that bridge to another person and opening yourself up to them.

God designed us with relationships in mind. Our need for control and acceptance can suffocate our emotional needs. Our inner selves. Give up your control to the Lord, and let him control your life. For he is in control, even if you think you are.

I hope you begin to believe what you are. The diamond in the rock, just right now all you see is the coal that incase it. Believing that you are special is the starting point.

Hope this is a good starting point.

Big :hug:'s to you sis.

Reasons that got me out of bed:

- when I was at my worse, I found that just getting up to talk to God helped me. I tried to do that whilst still in bed but found that I drifted off to sleep. By getting up and telling Him how I feel, it was as though I had my own in-house counsellor :)

- I had two individuals which prevented me, my little one and my cat. Both needed breakfast :) My little one even use to prompt me to eat something if she noticed that I'd skipped breakfast. The cat would enter the room and jump on and off the bed until I got up to feed her.

When I was at my worse those two things were my driving force.
