• 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.

i am so close to ending it all. it's been 3 years and nothing has gotten any better.

i put myself out there, but everyone has their own best friend. and they don't need me.

everyone else from high school has their own life now.

i don't talk to my old bffs anymore.

i keep holding on hoping things are going to get better, but they aren't. i keep asking god to send me someone. but he hasn't. i don't know why. i just know that i can't go on anymore.

fadedglory, I know EXACTLY how you feel... EXACTLY how you feel :hug::hug::hug:

I went through all of that this past year... it hurt so much, because I wanted someone sooooo bad, and I liked this girl sooo much (from church, too), I was willing to cut my arms and try to kill myself, because not only did I like her, but she was completely uninterested in me.

but you know what?... God had other plans. God had much, much better plans than I could ever possibly imagine. and right now, know that God loves you enough, and He knows, right now, that for you and me... we're not ready yet.

I still have yet to see someone for me in my life, but I've been digging into His Word, and that want for for a companion is going away... I still have feelings for that girl, but I'm staying away from her, because I know that's not what I need in my life... what I need right now in my life is His Word of Truth

I want you to know, fadedglory, that I'm 25, and I have never had a girlfriend. Ever.

it's tough, especially when you sit across the table at a restaurant and see two of your friends pair up... but I guarantee you, FG, you're not alone :hug:

I'm right there with you, going through the exact same thing, and I feel you with all of my heart :hug::hug:

my advice?... seek Him out. As much as I'm right there with you, He's tghere for you more than I ever could, and He knows exactly how to handle this situation :hug: it's wonderful to have such and incredible Father who knows exactly what we need at the right time so that we can get the most out of that situation, and gain a closer relationship with Him.

you are my sister in Christ, and I truly do care about you... The ast thign i would ever want you to do is hurt yourself, and I know 110% that God doesn't want you to hurt yourself either... I'll be honest, this year has been the toughest, because it hit me so hard at the beginning of the year, but now, after spending my time with the Lord, He's given me a passion for something else... he may give me someone later in my life, He may not... either way, He knows what's best for me, and I put my faith in Him, because He loves me more than any other person could

and you want to know the awesome thing?... :hug: He loves you just as much :hug:
He's always goign to be there for you, no matter where you are in your life, and no matter what you're going through.

Hang in there, FG... please hang in there :hug: I know its hard, I truly do, btu I want you to know that if God can put it within me to come out of it, I know you can do it as well :hug::hug::hug:

if you need a friend, I'll gladly be a friend to you... I love you, and I'm praying for you, and I know beyodn a shadow of a doubt that if you put your faith, love, and trust in Him, He will guide you through, and give you a new and beautiful outlook on life.

I am worried about you. Are you okay? It has been a little while since you posted this. How are you doing? I understand how much it hurts to want your own best friend, to be lonely and feel so alone. I feel that way a good deal of the time.
Please keep fighting.
