• 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

I am so scared, I have b/p and si and I cut really deep. My head is spinning and I am so weak. I feel hopeless, useless, alone. I know I need help but I am afraid. Noone knows what I am doing and the real me that noone sees is a frightened, damaged, and very depressed . I'm hiding it all and if my friends were to find out they'd reject me and shun me. They'd be so upset with me and I need them more now then ever. I need help but I don't know what to do and I don't even know if I want to get it anyway. How messed up is that!

i agree. i know what it's like to lose yourself to a fake you and not know who you really are anymore. i know what it is like to be abandoned by your 'friends', i know it sucks and hurts, but your better off without them if they are going to abandon you, they would want you to be around for them, so they should be around for you. you sound like a really nice person and I'm sure you could make plenty of friends with people who will really love you for who you are and support you. they would want to support you am maybe they could even help you, if you could just find one of your friends even to confide in, and maybe they would be willing to help you, even help you seek out professional help, i know it's a hard step to take, but if you take things one small step at a time, then it will be easier, that what I'm doing, and now, i've even found the courage to go see a doctor about my depression. It will take time and quick fixes never work properly, so it's best to try to find what fits you and your lofestyle best. just wait untill you are ready, but maybe you need to think about going to a doctor, even though it's hard.

well...
just some thoughts.
God bless, stay strong, and may God's love be with you evry step of the way.
will be praying for healing for you and the strength to continue.
:hug:

Hey sweetie, it's really not messed up!!! it's so easy to put on a "fake" you - I did it for years and now I am the real me and I can't pretend with some of my friends!!! It's not easy but try to be yourself, being fake is not worth it - it doesn't make you happy!!!
