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.

Welcome,I've been feeling depressed the last couple of sleep. I don't get enough sleep. I have a lot of anger and hurt inside. I don't want to live anymore. I picture suicide in my head. I haven't been to church in 2 years. I was a true christian before. Can you pray for me?
Welcome,
Kinda wanted to cut back, but suicide cases seem to have a weak spot for me.
Well, first off you need help. Look for any good churches and ask paster if can council you. Or find a true friend, trusted love one, or seek out a any theoripst/councilor options. Got lot going on inside your head, going to need encouragement, prayer, and lot personal growth to pull out of the hole. Realize thou you have to save yourself, admitting and seeking help is the first and most important step.
Till you get that help, please grab onto that thread of reason thought in your mind. Listen to your spirit, and let it guide you out of the darkness.
http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Galatians 5:16-26;&version=51;
"25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirits leading in every part of our lives. "
"16 So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives."
" 22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, and self-control."
Read the whole thing please. Keep hope sister, tomorrow is always a better day. Don't dwell on the dark thoughts, they are your enemy. You have great potiential and victorious life awaiting you, all you have to do is grab hold of it and never let go.
Keeping you in my prayers hun. Please do not end your life call a crises line and do try to get some help from a counsellor, therapist. You have so much burden that you need to seek some help.

Matthew 7:7I don't have enough money to get a counselor. I don't have health insurance to see a doctor.
I had a feeling that it didn't just up and leave.I almost did it yesterday. I almost cut but I held back. I was so hurt. My blood was pounding. My heart was aching. I was crying. I couldnt sleep. Hard day for me again
Sinful Nature, this concept has evolved over the months. From belief of accual spirits controlling me to the offical "dark" side. All started when I read Luke 8:30-33 .
"32 There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons begged him to let them enter into the pigs.
So Jesus gave them permission. 33 Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned."
I was fighting my own demon of lust at the time. This set of passages gave me MUCH ammo to help me fight my sinful nature. I do believe that demons exist, but we all carry a dark side in us. The sinful nature, and it's goals are clear. To get me to drown. After going thru many years of depression(suicidal depression in early highschool years) I remember how I was alone yet I wasn't. Something kept tearing my self esteem to shreds and I pushed the whole world away. Thankfully it didn't win.
So according to the scriptures, sinful nature uses all the tools of worry, guilt, fear, sadness, pain... well pretty much any negitive feeling to do it's job.
Balance comes from taking these tools away from the sinful nature and give them all to God. Hope overcomes the despair, faith overcomes the fear. Spirit will lead me in the ways of Holy spirit which inturn bring me closer to God.
Humility and prayer are important to this fight thou. Sinful nature is a perminate part of my mind. It will fight and resist, this is where God's hand helps. Humility keeps heart pure, for God knows the truth in my heart. For me to lie to him would be no different than loved one lied to me in the face.
You are still a true christian. Jesus said "Forgive them Father for they know not what they do". Don't get wrapped up in the false doctrines of churches if all you can find there is condemnation.I've been feeling depressed the last couple of sleep. I don't get enough sleep. I have a lot of anger and hurt inside. I don't want to live anymore. I picture suicide in my head. I haven't been to church in 2 years. I was a true christian before. Can you pray for me?
I noticed your a Three days Grace fan. Recently started listening to them. One of his songs really hit home and figured you might like it.
Never too late
I thought I would share this image because it's what
we strive for each day. We are so brainwashed by the world of flesh, we forget our roots - Christ and the Kingdom of God.
The images we get from this world is false and superficial. We are a spiritual manifestation of God and created by Him. Don't let this world define who you are and don't let them put chains on you.
You are God's masterpiece. You were created by Him for Him. Remain in Him and break the chains of
of the godless in this world.
Listen to God's word only.
Remain in Christ. The stronger He is
in you, the stronger you become to fight
the neagative voices that come from a
world of flesh.
Stay in Him and victory is yours.
Much Godly love and prayer,
Kim
