• 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

Once again I'm slipping down. I can't be bothered to do anything but mope, eat and sit at the computer doing nothing but stare at a blank screen.

I took my piercings out today and wore my new clothing; all smart and classy. My boyfriend said "oh! I never knew you were changing your image completly. This will take time to get used to" he doesn't seem to like me now.

But its not just about that. Not at all. I feel so alone, so dead inside. I keep thinking "whats the point?" I'm doubting everything and I just hate myself. SO ALONE and yes i'm going on and on, I post to much rubbish in this forum, and I need to grow up.:cry:

I know how you feel. I am exactly the same way (moping every here and there, eating, sitting at the comp..or sleeping..posting on my Xanga or on this board..)
Feel free to PM me if you'd like..I am on this 2 or 3 times a day.

I find that silly your boyfriend doesnt like you just because you are changing your image.
If you like your self-image, then thats what matters. He should learn to accept that.

I hope you will be okay. :hug:

I feel for you, sis. :hug:

Your first paragraph was me in November. When I wasn't doing what you'd said, I was sat on my sofa in tears. I couldn't speak to anyone without breaking down.

To encourage you, it will pass and I will continue to pray for you this evening. I have to do bathtime in a bit but if you like I can come back online so that you can talk.

I believe that the biggest differences now for me compared to November, has been for me to spend just quiet moments with worship music on, sat in a room on my own with my Bible and praying. I tend to do this approx mid-night due to UCB having worship music followed by the 'Watch Word Bible'. This has been the only background noise that does not disturb my prayers. The other has been to get in touch with a Christian Counsellor, just having someone else pray over me seemed to initially pierce through my cloud about 4 weeks ago.

Can you see a Christian Counsellor? I've taken the liberty of posting a link to the Association of Christian Counsellors in the UK where you can type in your postcode to find one nearest to you:

Big hugs to you sis, I so empathise with how you're feeling now. :hug:

Let me be honest;

I have never even heard of a Christian Counsellor! However, it sounds like such a great idea! I looked at the link, and found a place near to me, and looked on its website; I shall ring them tomorrow I think! Thank you so much, for the idea and the support! Thank you both for helping

Anytime!!! :hug:

I'd never heard of this either I saw the link in the Deliverance Forum area, but I just didn't feel confident that I'd get the help I needed from the other types of counsellors. I praise G-d that I rang :)
