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.

My heart is broken and I just keep looking for answers, how can God allow another experience into my life that would drive me to sadness again? These incidents always happen when I have tests and I struggle to find the mental peace to study without thinking about the pain I feel

Sorry you are struggling, sweetie.
You're alive because God created you and loves you - and He does have a plan.
Praying that things get easier very soon

Thank you so much for your encouragement and prayers. It's just hard for me to feel like I'll ever find happiness. I don't know what God had planned I just hope I won't keep going downhill in life.

Hello,
I'm sorry you're feeling so bad. You are important to God and to us. He created you for a reason and I think part of it might be to help others. Stay as close to God as you can and He will help you. Post also in here for support and we will help too. God bless you.
Faithfully,
CH Sacerdote

Try to think of struggles as a way to build yourself up instead of their purpose being to bring you down.
What can you learn from these struggles? What does God want you to learn? When you overcome these struggles won't you be a stronger person because of them?

Thank you very much, you're right I need to stay close to God. Is there such thing as whining too much to God? I'm very weak and I have the urge to cry all the time

God is great. He's also full of love for His children. We can sometimes get embarrassed for being needy or as you said 'whining too much' but most of us do that at one time or another and I believe His compassion for us and wanting us to come closer in relationship to Him out weigh all of that. We can come to Him just as we are. No problem. He understands.
God bless.

I can't go on, no amount of sorry ever takes away the pain. I can't face another day, my heart hurts. I feel like God doesn't care about the heaviness of my heart. My father has never been there for me and he calls as if it's just another lovely day. He only calls to get it out the way. I would rather not speak to him at all. My mom and sister have been there all the time and my brother says I can talk to him. I can't keep bugging
people with my pain but Im just having a hard time trusting and waiting on God. It's hard to try to be close to God and not knowing his reactions and feelings toward me. Im so alone and I don't want to go back to my dorm at school and face this pain alone. My mom said I can call her anytime but she's not always available. I just wish this hurt and emptiness I feel would just leave my body. Why am I so desperate be loved

I have so many exams coming up and I don't know how God expects me to study and focus with this pain I'm facing. I just don't know what to do ?? I never know.

Is there something you enjoy doing? What are some things you like to do? What is some of your favorite music?
Do something that you enjoy and go back to studying. When you feel unwell again go back to doing something you enjoy. It's not ideal for studying, but under such pain and duress it does help.

I like to paint and watch tv, I'm not sure what my hobbies are, Ive become lost in my pain and I don't know what I like anymore. I have something I enjoy that basic like coloring, painting, playing the sims game online but the last two take a lot of time.
