• 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

Ok I am very down tonight. I just dropped my best dearest friend off at the bus station so she can go back to PA to take care of her family.

I dont know how I made it home since I was crying the whole way. She has been here in my life for almost 4 years and I feel so lost without her. I truely do not understand God sometimes. All was going well and then BAM we are hit with this. I hope that it all makes sense to me soon. My kids are very sad but are doing ok. They went right to bed when we got home.

I was so happy and now this happens and I am trying to find a reason to go on, other than my kids. I have never lived alone and not sure how I will handle it. I know I already hate it. It is so quiet here, noone to talk to, noone to laugh with. I dont even want to watch tv, whats the point? Cant hear anyone laugh cant discuss what the movie is about or how I like or dislike it.

How do I keep this from turning into full blown Depression. I am scared that I really dont want to do this.
Well goodnight for now.

I've been alone for 8 years. I know how that feels. But, it's a feeling that will pass. You can either make new friends while still keeping in touch with the old or you can get used to being alone. The latter is not something I recommend to anyone unless they WANT to be alone. But, let me tell you this. You are NOT alone, because God is always there with you. He feels your pain and he wants you to spend time with him. Feeling a loss is temporary, although the consequences may seem lifelong, but that's up to you. Parting ways with people you've known for a long time is a very difficult thing to do, why? Because you miss all the good times you got to share with them. Nobody likes a 'goodbye.' However, be thankful that you even have kids. Tons of people out there don't even have a social life to begin with. Try to put your focus away from this situation, and turn it towards God in prayer. After all, he is the God of comfort.
