• 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

Hi Taylor,

Thank you for sharing. I'm so sorry that happened. It must be so hard dealing with the feelings after having a friend take their own life. I hope you can share with a pastor or even a counselor if you can. It helps to share with someone who can help you while you are in such pain.

I am praying for you!

Love,
tapero

I am really sorry about your friend.
I am sure she would want you to fight and keep going.
When people try and commit suicide they tend not to really think who will be affected, they don't think people will care
(deep down I know she will)
I am sure all her pain and torment will have all gone away, It's an illness, no one puts enough emphasis on it, she was ill she didn't mean to hurt anyone when she did it,
Jesus will be looking after her, make sure you look after yourself I am sure she wants that !

I am very sorry about your friend, Taylor. I am sure your love and friendship made those 5 years more bearable for her, and it is not your fault that in the end the pain became more than she could bear, and she chose to go home. You could not have prevented this by staying home. If not that night, then another night; you cannot stay home forever to hold your friend in life if she cannot hold herself here.

Can you bless her memory by telling us about her, and what you valued about her life? As long as your love for her remains, then she is not lost to you, or through you to any of us. And as you rightly say, she is home in the arms of the Lord, and has now found peace.

Kyrie eleison,
Christe eleison,
Kyrie eleison
