• 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

Ugh. I miss her.

My fiance was called away about a year and a half ago. I experienced emotions that I did not know a man could for her. I'd prefer not to discuss the specifics, it's too painful. I'm just not the same since. I've had other gals, but nothing is as it was, not even as it was before I met her. It's not getting better, I've hurt myself, badly. Scars that will never fade. I've lost hope in many things, including my relationship with God. Everything I try, I'm just behind fogged glass, able to observe the whispers and shadows of the happy and loving behind it. I miss that. I miss remembering how to love and be loved. Help.

I'm sorry for the pain that you have experienced and that you're continuing to experience. I can not possibly imagine what you must be going through. I believe that you, if you have the energy to, should write (or atleast read) a bit on the "Self-Injury Support" sub-forums, as reading and discussing with people who also struggle with self-harm may help you cope with the feelings (or atleast give you some more perspective). The "Self-Injury Support" sub-forums is found under the title "Recovery" in the "Mental Health" part.
Now, as I've stated before, I will not lie and claim that I've been through what you have and that I know what you are feeling. However, I have been depressed for a very large period of my life, and thus I do understand what losing hope in life feels like. Wanting to feel happy, just one more time. Because of this, I wish to tell you that even though it doesn't seem like you will ever feel happy again, YOU WILL! And even though you are struggling with your faith, God STILL LOVES YOU!
I'm praying to God to give you the strength and energy that you need to get through the immense pain that you must be feeling, so that you can feel better and feel happy once again. :hug:

Grief is very individual, it affects us all differently. There's nothing wrong with the wa you are feeling - it's a long journey, and it honestly will get easier in time - how much time no one can say.

God is right with you, even though you may feel he is far away or gone altogether.

You are in my prayers, brother :hug: Keep going.
