• 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

Withdrawn
No friends call or come over anymore
I feel so alone on this earth
Just me, my mind and my crazy feelings
The darkness closes in around me
Im in darkness but the sun hurts my eyes
I feel cold, like the blood has stopped going to my hands
Nothing but emptiness and lonelyness
Does anyone love me? Do i know what love is?
I sit and stare
watching the images stream and glare
I think but i dont care
Who am I? and what an I?
Ive tried to make something of my life
Ive tried to find Jesus (still searching)
Sometimes i think i hear Him, His Creation
But its just a figment of bipolar imagination
Fido and Wiskers bring me no comfort
The hole in my heart grows bigger each day
I feel my soul starting to decay
I try to cry but i cant
Sometimes the tears are right on the edge
But they disapear before they fall
I need to cry and wail
But each time i try i fail
Love has abandoned me
Nothing left but pain and anxiety
Do we have to see the darkness to see the light?
If so I think there is no light left in me tonight.

Depression can take over our life , if we let it . It is a hard thing to do to stand against deppersion . It can be done with a lot of fight and prayer . I have felt all of those sgins of depression . In my darkest hours I sit close my eyes and just say the name of Jesus over and over until I feel less depressed and more safe again . It works for me , that is when in the darkness I see the light .
