• 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

Should I?

I have been feeling more depressed again and I think it may be part of a season I have been going through. I have not really been commited going to church. I may go like once every other month. Should I go? I really want to know if it would be any benefit for me. I have some fears that sometimes get in the way of me going. I really want more spiritual bros and sisters too.
Thanks
-Zach

If the Church service itself would trigger you into depression, you might have to abstain for awhile. I stayed away from Church for years but am currently begun to go again, teaching myself new coping methods, wanting to go because serving God is important with a body of believers.

I just left a church because it triggered my depression, and I am feeling really bad about it because I'm told by elders and Pastor at that church that God wouldn't want me to leave the church where He placed me, and I am following my flesh and disobeying God. But I found another church that I absolutely love and the service gives me great peace and even hope, which I desperately need right now, so maybe it's a matter of finding the right church? Because I feel so much peace in my new church, I think that there must be something about finding the right church. I used to feel peace at my old church too, but then things started to change. I'm supposed to stick it out but man I'm so tired of feeling depressed. I just couldn't go anymore. I started to get a lot of anxiety about going…I hope I'm not just a church hopper and that the new church really will continue to give me peace…I'll be praying for you God4alluu

May not be so much a church hopper. Sometimes it just takes some time to see the cracks in that church when the honeymoon time ends. Ie.. The drama and politics and so on. I went through a couple til I found one I felt right with.
