• 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 can't seem to stop thinking about things i shouldnt be. When i try and work my mind clouds over with sad/bad thoughts. I recently failed one of my modules at uni, i know i can re sit ..but it still hurts deep down. I'm bored yet i have loadsa things i should be doing. I don't have the mental/physical energy in me to do these things though.

I miss being close to someone, i have many friends i guess but i don't feel really close to them. I want Josh back, he held me while i cried, he cared for me and i cared for him, he's 6000 miles away in California though. I want to be held, i want someone to love me.

So many things i cannot fathom out :cry: :sigh:

:hug: by keep taking yourself to dwelling on what is righteous and praiseworthy. by learing to rest on Jesus, by surrounding yourself with God's blessings; and letting your brother and sisters build you up and encourage you. by focusing on sharing in the the lives and blessings that we can bestow on others; we manage our pain and dissapointments. sweetheart, don't feel bad about who you are in this time. we all fall short of our exspectations. those crazy what if's beating us to feel worse when we feel bad already. being a ware that we fall short of something is enough. it's ok to let it go, and focus on taking care of yourself. keep going back to what is praiseworthy. when we do take care of ourself and spiritual needs, then we are able to start over again. :hug:

:groupray: ... :angel: !!! lay these feelings out in prayer and thoughts to Jesus. allow Him to renew you.

Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. Romans 12:12

I am focusing all my energies on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. Philippians 3:13

6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, andthe God of peace will be with you. Philippians 4:6-9

Katylees,

Please don't cry! Everything will be okay! We have God's promise that it will because he wants to give us life and life more abundantly! You are going to school and working hard and you sound burned out. You say you can't get the energy up to do anything. That was me 2-3 months ago. I was the one who would lie in my bed for an hour just trying to find the strength to get out of bed. And I was also the one who would make a list of things to do in the evening, but instead of pursuing my list, I would flop out on the couch and watch TV all evening until it was time for bed. I was in what's called a slump. But it will pass. It passed for me. And I know it'll pass for you. What helped me was spending time with the Lord through His word. I would talk to him, pray to him, journal to him and read His word. I got more invovled with my church family and slowly, regained more energy and regained my life. Depression is a horrible thing. It can wring the life right out of you. But there is a cure - it's Jesus Christ. Become His friend and call on Him. He will be all you need and will hold you and wipe away all of your tears. Katetees, I'll be praying for you.

Trinity :angel:
