• 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

Well...

I was really suicidal last night, but I'm kinda better now.

Hi, I've been away from here for a while. But I too have had depression for about 10 or 11 years.
I think the worse thing I encounter is people not completely believing how badly I feel. I can to an extent understand where you're coming from. It hurts, there's no doubt about it. But I really need you to believe me when i say you are worth more than anything you could ever think of. God says so. So take it as the truth.
I know only too well the feeling of being seperated from God, or abandoned. I'm not just saying these things to make you feel better. I believe completely what I say.
Do me a real big favor. it will be very hard at first, but try and see what God sees in you. This is one of the hardest things you'll do, cause I too have trouble here. But do me one small favor and try. I can see plenty of worth in you. and I don't even know you.
Bless you and keep believing, God doesn't make junk. Okay?
Chuck:thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

:hug: Are you still taking the cymbalta?(sp) And taking it as prescribed and regularly?

And xistence, you are much of something, you are a fellow human being, a brother in Christ. So we are concerned about you. So no point telling us not to be. And all those amazing scriptures Lily00 posted, things that God our creator says about you. They are worth reading, they have helped me too.

When's your next counselling session?

Thank you all. :hug:

I'm still taking the cymbalta and I go to a counselor every week on Thursday.

Thank you for that link. I read the post and I will think about this. I don't really want to take my own life, but at times the depression gets so bad and the pain so much that I feel the urge to do it. I'm hanging in there.

Hi, Glad you read the link.

I do understand about depression. Please just keep on keeping on. Maybe it sounds like a cliche, but Jesus does love and care for you. Just keep walking a day at a time.:hug:

I really need some assistance on something with one of my friends if anyone can spare a few moments to talk with PM.
You can talk to me if you like. But I warn you, I'm not real good with advice!!!
