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.

Spart...If there's something I've learned over the past few years of my life, it's to not worry. God has you in the palm of His hand. He has a plan for you. Last year a girl at my Bible study talked about worry..And the gist was this: Worrying is not trusting God. Cus really, God's plan for your life will be carried out. Just remember God is in control.
In the meanwhile, work hard in school..And see if there's some kind of arrangement so you could live with your dad but not have to give up your dog. Cus I know giving up a pet is really hard, and I don't think I could ever do it.
I know that wasn't much..But I dunno what else to say.

Hey Spart, I was once in your position. In fact, with the depression and all, I still am. My life seems to get worse and worse as each month goes by. But if there's one opinion I've completely changed in the last couple years, it's not to fear adulthood. The thought of turning 18 sickened me because "Once I'm 18, I'm considered an adult! And once I'm an adult what's left? Growing old!". I've learned that even though you may not experience a childhood you wished you had (trust me, I've had quite a dull one. I haven't done half the things many people have) you have the future to make up for what you feel has been lost! Just think about it, when you're grown and independent, you're free to do as you wish! Hopefully, it's sticking with God, aswell. If you feel lost now, He'll help you find yourself. I'm not much older than you, so if you want to talk about that or anything else in more depth, give me a PM. 
I feel we can relate.

ya...i know what you mean. i'm afraid of getting older too. O_O
it's hard not to worry...but just keep in mind that those are lies created by negativity. and i know, cause i hear the same lies too. heh and still believe them from time to time...
but...don't believe ahead of time that you're going to grow up to be a loser.
and we're all still pretty young. who says there's a certain time you have to be ready? just take your time...
do school...
and you will be ready when you need to be.
i spent so many days doing nothing but staying in my room...thinking...on the computer...
eh...pretty much alone. so ya...i can relate to the "wasted time" thing.
but...don't use your current conditions to predict the future.
i don't even think it's possible to do that.
anyways, maybe there are certain things you can't help now. factors that keep you from doing things.
but it all may change one day. don't believe you're doomed to live a horrible future.
and also...you feeling like god hasn't done anything done anything for you doesn't nullify your belief in him. if you say you believe...then you do.
i feel the same way about him. in fact, not very happy with him at the moment. yet...i do know i still believe. to say i do not would be me lying to myself. anyways...ya.
