• 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'm going to the doctor tomorrow. And I want to stand up to my mom and put my foot down and tell her I'm getting a depression test. I know what is best for myself. And i am sick of not having closure on why i feel like this. It's upsetting me even more. I'm just scared. I hope I don't chicken out. :sigh: Prayers? :help:

-Jo. :hug:

*hugs* You should never deny your own emotions, or let them be supressed by others. You are doing a great job and are very couragous for recognizing that you DO have a problem that needs to be fixed.

Often mommies or daddies don't want to aknowledge a problem with their kids because they want to have normal kids and are in denial or 'out of touch' of what really goes on in their hearts, they do love you do but parents live usually very busy lives and i can get the 'glitch' that you feel neglected and not taken serious. While in reality everything is serious. I encourage you to go to the docter and oh, i have this free book for you that you can read. It's called the Cycle of the Soul , and *hugs* no matter how deep you have fallen there is always a way out.

It saved me from suicide so yeah i pray that you read it and it's a pathway that i chose (luckely) and me very happy ever since.

Also DO realise that we DO take your problems serious and that we are here for you to discuss them and that you can count on us everytime you need us. :hug:

May God bless you.

does that book support reincarnation coz we dont believe in it.. but perfection is right in that there is always a way put of any suffering no matter how deep. Christ saved me from suicide .. He reveals Himself to those who live in darkness and the shadow of death. Not visibly but in you inner part through the word of God. I know that you read it from your other posts. God bless you and I hope the counseler helps and I pray God teaches you what to do in all these trials.

hey jo~ :hug: !!! maybe doctor can help you determine what and how to tell mum; if it is decided to give you some tests.
i brought this up, because it maybe simpler than 'putting your foot down'.... i hear God telling your anxious thoughts "Sssh:hug:" ....
;) sweetie don't worry, you can just just doc you have questions and concerns... then poof! doctor ears hear the questions behind the questions... then they ask you questions about your questions and :D ... yeah. it will be smoother than you think :hug: . your prayer is answered sweetheart :hug: Jesus will help you get all those questions out, and mum will be ok! (mum's have panic attacks over everything :blush: ... it's a mommy thing).

HI,
I'm so glad you made this move. :clap:
I know how tough it is. I came from a conservative family so I never told them I had depression myself. It's really hard, I know. But this will give you certain amount of closure, it really does. But remember it doesn't end there :hug: .

I always think recovery is the next step. I think we need to fight that we will become better.Always remmeber God's love too, that helps me. But i'm glad you're taking this step.

is for courage to face the depression. I've lived with in for some years, and can say there is hope and there is treatment and you will get better. I think the worst thing about depression is ignoring it. God wants his children well and I think the blessing of medicine will help you get on the road to recovery.

In Him,
