• 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

Why can't i get through this?

Everything just seems so hard and I'm so scared that I'm going to go to far and kill myself. I don't want to die...i want to lean on God and trust Him and know that He is with me...but I can't. I need some advice. I'm just so scared of everything all the time. I'm hurting so badly inside and i just feel like i need to be held like a baby and cry forever.

Can I ask you to pray that I will be able to truly let God in and lean on Him and trust that He will deliver me from this torture and that I will be able to stop listening to the evil one's lies. I want to lean on God so much because I am so tired but I am so scared and can't let go of control even though I know that God already has control anyway but i don't let myself feel it.

Please tell me what you think i should do.

Love CA :cry:

Hey hun,
When we've been through something like this, then we do want control, thats why Self harm cropped up in mine, it was a way of controlling the pain and thats how I dealt with it,

I won't pretend I am something I am not in God, I don't pretend I am the best Christian either, but God doesn't want to and would not want to pull the rug from under you. He wants to be there for you...just like a friend or family member.
It's different for us Ithink and of course God will understand that He will empower you not bring you to your knees (except in good ways)

It's like a little child, they need and want praise and adults give them that praise so they feel powerful and plleased with their work.
So God does in our life.
It's harder for us because of our past and present situations, but we have to keep trying for it:groupray:

Oh my goodness..............you sound so much like me as far as being held and being loved. Alot of times when I talk with Jesus that is exactly what I become......a little girl who curls up in the lap of Jesus and i cry. And the more I do this the fewer and fewer tears. I can feel the loving eyes of Jesus looking at me and I know that everything is going to be just fine.And then I got to the point that I really do know that I will be fine and I spend more and more time with Jesus and I know that he wants us to reach out to others..........because soooo many of us feel the same hurts and pains and we all need to be loved ............Jesus wants us all to know that he is there and we can curl up in his lap and rest.

Love
Tam

Your feelings are valid. You need Jesus to come to you in one of His people. Real, compassionate, wise people can bring the reality of God's love and healing to us. That' show God intends it to work.

Do you have someone you can talk with?

Thank you so much to you all! I am truly appreciative of all your kind words!

As you may, or may not know, i have a really close friend (like a mum to me) who is a minister at my church and who has also worked through all this abuse stuff. I sat with her on Tuesday night and cried and cried...and she gave me a loving lecture about pushing God away and not looking to Him by reading my Bible, praying, and trusting Him. Since then, i've been reading my Bible and praying and it's helped quite considerably...i don't know how i let satan pull me so far away...i'm now really trying to keep remembering who i am in Christ and hopefully that will get me through this pain.

God Bless you all and i'm sorry that i haven't been around for anyone lately.

Luv CA

Hi Ca, hope your doing well today. I'm new to this forum but not to abuse. I will pray for you and give our Lord praise for your minister and her heart and time that she gives freely to you in His love. Continue to reach out to her. I read your bio and the book you said was your fav. A Child Called "It" blows me away. This kid could of been me. I even lived 3 blocks from him and we are close in age. I've only been able to read the book once very hard read for me..... lots of pain.

I fine that when I am serving God through the minisrtys at my church I don't have much time to think of my past. Not that I am trying to bury my past but it helps to get out of myself. Have you tried this. It's healing to be about our Fathers business.

God bless
Annette:prayer:

One verse always comes to mind for me when I feel that I am going through some hard times, and that is 1 Corinthians 10:13. Paul says that God will never allow more to come upon us than we can bear, but with every temptation He will also provide a way out. We can trust God not to expect us to endure beyond our ability. God knows what you are capable of bearing, you (and me) just need to trust Him. Take care.

So many times I've read your posts and felt the pain coming through your words. I don't have a great answer for you, but I just want to send you a hug through my words and hope you feel that in the same way I have felt your heart.
