• 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.

  • 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.

There are many harsh feelings to be left behind by this.... but what makes it ten times harder is im getting blamed for it and reminded of it every day!!! Im not sure what to do about this and hoped that someone here might have an idea???????

That's hard. You must not accept the criticisms being made against you. Some people like to blame shift. But may people have disagreements that don't end that way. That person, for whatever reason, made their own call. His family should have first call on their treatment, not you.

Don't listen to them, ok. I know it can be hard not to. But in the end could you of done anything to stop it, if the answer is yes then still do not blame yourself because at the moment you properly did all you could.

Did you know they were struggling at the moment, because if you didn't then I can say for 100% sure that it wasn't your fault.

I'm not sure what to say other than to encourage you that suicide is something that the person who does it, is responsible for. There are times people are in the hospital for this and they are still successful at killing themselves.

I would encourage you to seek support... see if there is a group such as survivors of suicide (not sure if they are international or not).

I'm sorry you're being reminded of it daily.
