• 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

Ive been struggling really bad to cope with things lately. Alot has went on in the past few weeks and it keeps getting worse. It has made me physically sick and Today I had another breakdown. Ive been having suicidal thoughts and today I was close to the end. I am safe with a friend with me right now but I cant keep going on like this. Things are really bad for my family and the weight of it all has been put on my shoulders to fix to say the least. Im losing this battle.:cry::cry::cry::cry:

I am so glad that you are safe with a friend. You have to stop taking on the responsiblities of others. It is only making things worse for you. I understand your need to help your family, but you must take care of yourself before you can even begin to help someone else. Praying that you will reach this understanding of self care!

Dear Heart, please rest in the Lord's arms and empty your mind of your worries. If you feel unsafe and if no one is there at the moment, please call 911. We all want you alive. Thank God you have someone there at the moment.

Please please don't do anything rash, call 911 if you need to, that is what they are for.

((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

I am praying for you. Remember, it will not always be this way. The devil has taken a snapshot of the difficulties and told you the Lord will not be faithful to move you and your family through them. But Jesus will move you through them and to a better place.

You are all in my prayers,
A

You are the apple of His eye. Don't you forget it.

Thank yall for the prayers. Im doing better today. Made it through the rough night thanks to my loving friends. The thoughts have eased alot. Still the occasional one here and there but nothing bad. Just need alot of prayers that all the horrible things going on in my family will come to a end. I really need them to so I can focus on myself and get through the next rough week coming up trying to make it through the grieving process. God will give me the strength I know. I pray I can get back to myself again. Being so upset has just physically drained me and has made me sick. But Thank yall so much for your love and prayers.

Hi Broken Hearted. I have felt this kind of pain too and struggle with it more often than I care to say. Today I was at a support group and we were making New Years resolutions for self growth. One of my resolutions was To Want to Live and Thrive. I wrote down some steps to take in order to meet my goal. It was very helpful for me. I also pray to God and talk to Jesus often. Your post really touched me and I am so glad you are doing better now. I will pray for the good Lord to meet all of your needs and comfort you and lead you and make things easier for you. I know how hard that road is. But we can want to live again. We just need to write out the steps that can help us acheive that goal. Just doing that helped me to feel better already. God bless you dear.

Hi, I just joined this site tonight because I too am severely depressed and often have suicidal thoughts. I hope you're ok now because I know that the feelings often pass. I'm barely hanging on myself. :( I know that God never leaves or forsakes us but it just sometimes seems to much for one person to bear. That's when I envision myself carrying the person or thing to the cross, giving it to Jesus, walking away with empty hands so that I can praise Him. Email me if you would like to chat more. Hang in there!!!!! I'm praying for you now!
