• 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

Yes, suicide is a sin. But my main thought right now is that you should be talking to a minister or a doctor about this, rather than posting it on a discussion board leaving it open for strangers to give you whatever advice they deem appropriate (which may or may not be good). I can only urge you to seek help from a professional before you decide to do anything.

Do not say that your life has no meaning, because you do not know what tomorrow will bring. Ask yourself instead, moment by moment, what is God's will for your life. It may be that for a moment in time God's will for you is simply to go on. It may be that He has some greater plan for you that you cannot see right now. But I can say for certain that it is NOT God's will that you should take your life.

Please, please, seek real help for this. Look to Jesus for hope. Pray about this, and be open to what God has for you. Do not close yourself off by listening to Satan's lies. It is Satan telling you that your life has no meaning and that there is no hope for you.

I will pray for you.

God bless,
Diana

Sin or not it's a bad idea! If you don't like your life change it for the better!
Better yet get involved in changing the lives of others. It is hard to stay depressed when you are lifting others up!

i'm mentally ill (poor health too)... it's hard on my brain and thinking and family at times. i learn to embrace the blessings that i do have. :hug: and i didn't move this when you posted it, because alot of us that need care (even if it's not intense), have thought about suicide at one point.
i think because we get confused and needy and with that thought being out there; it just gets thought about.

:hug: :prayer: hugs and prayers are with you during this difficult time

I felt suicidal last night, so i know what it feels like.

my dad killed himself. I believe he is in heaven, as he believed in Jesus and accepted him into his life. Yes I think suicide is a sin because Jesus tells us "do not kill". This would include killing ourselves.

Take care. Check out these websites below.. they might help you.
