• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Why am I so sad?

Hmm.. maybe it would help if you could tell us why you cancelled the appointment, and the plans? There has to be a reason? Do you fear being around people, or do you simply just feel like crawling back into a whole and staying there and away from everyone?

Also, what bothers you? What kind of thoughts occupy your mind? Are you angry or bitter towards anyone? Do you feel unloved, or unwanted? Are you fearful of people and places?

i wish i knew how to answer that. right now i just feel very fat and unlovable. I have a history of an eating disorder and thats been tough lately. i guess i just feel like hiding away and giving up. i feel worthless and like my life is pointless. I don't know what else to say.

I doubt you are unlovable. The negative feelings you are having about yourself are most likely untrue. However, even if you have a head knowledge that you are of great value to those around you and especially to God you can still feel that way sometimes.

The only thing coming to my mind right now is to tell you that the sadness you feel is pretty common. I don't know where it comes from but I feel it, my friends have felt it and many people feel it everyday. I'm sorry that's all I have to contribute but more than anything I hope you stop feeling sad soon.
