• 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

Lately I've been very sad and depressed. And even a little angry. I've lost several friends lately because I took things too personally and got too hurt. I recently published a novel and the last time, there was a lot of support for it. It was fairly successful. This time, no one has bought it. No one has been supportive. Hardly anyone has helped me promote it. Which makes me think it's bad, but no one will admit that either. I lack all self-confidence in myself and my writing.

I recently injured my knee and was in a brace for a month. My mom had a mass in her brain. I lost my job due to no fault of my own. And this is just more stuff that keeps happening. Every year I come into this forum because more and more bad stuff happens in my life.

I'm tired of it. I'm tired of losing people I care about and all the bad things causing bad feelings in me that chase people away. I don't think it'll be too much longer because I become suicidal because I'm literally at the edge of the precipice. I can't take anymore. Every time I take two steps forward, I get knocked back four.

And I'm so incredibly lonely :(

first. I hope your still alive.
Genesis is my favorite book in the Bible. I'm interested, is your book strictly a E-book?

second. I am looking for a co-author to help write a series of books of I have already designed. But I have plot holes to fill, characters to breath life into, a world to elaborate on, and every page to write. It would be interesting to discuss such things.

I get no support in my faith or religion either. not even from the church. they just want to change me. Family and friends seem to detach themselves from me now or act like I'm the one with the problem.

I've lost jobs like you too. ridiculous really.

I'm just interested. What are you really seeking?

I'm going to Mexico this winter. Your welcome to join me.

That is great that you have such creativity and courage to write and put yourself out there. People have told me for years that I should write, but I always put it off.
I'm sorry your going through a tough time. This is a tough time of year for a lot of people. I know I work with foster kids and a lot of them are having a tough time right now too because they don't have a permanent home to go home to.
