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.
Why do i feel like this?

I have the same problems. I bought The Talented Mr. Ripley (R) back in 9th grade and I'm just now going back and watching it. It's so hard for me to put myself in front of that television and watch that movie... I used to could watch it by myself and not feel a thing. Now, it stirs my inner emotions. It's as if my insides have become stagnant, and a movie like that just begins to stir it all up again... It was almost more than I could take...so I had to leave the movie and come down here...lol I always thought I was so grown up when I was younger...maybe I was, maybe I wasn't...right now though, I feel about 5 years old... Goodnight. God Bless You.

No this is a good thing, u maybe stopped growing but now u can keep growing. We should have the heart of a child and better Jesus. I want it. Pray for me to get it hehe.
But at the same time when u see someone in real life in need of help it should stir u to do something like the good samaritan and not like the levite who pitied but did nothing.
You shouldnt watch stuff that makes u fearful and less trusting in God though. But u can watch sad stuff at the same time u dont have to. If you do then it should stir us to pray for them. Like if we see how starved some children are in places such as africa and other places , we can pray for people to go out and help them if we cant.
I hope this makes sense hehe.

Thanks MikeforJesus. That does make sense. I just got back from town and I just realized that I was going 90 MPH down my road. I NEED TO SLOW DOWN!!! If I don't, then I know the Lord (or Mother Nature) will come in and prove that fact to me... When did I become so careless? My driving habits now make me almost want to give up my car and take a bus or something. 
I just can't stop...I can't slow down. I just hope I don't get in another wreck or something. I'm so going back to church cause I need it. Not that I ever really stopped (except for a two year period). That's all for now...take care!

@ 58 you might be experiencing a male version of menopause, where the body slows or drops it's production of testosterone. leaving you feeling weak and vulnerable. this is a very teatable condition through medication... I know alot of people have examined the "spiritual" aspect of this situation. I'm not trying to detract from that because God can very easily use this condition to speak to you.. If you feel that this explosion of "feelings' is unbearable though, just goto your doctor and explain this to him. all it would take is a little blood work to determine your condition.

I wanted to add to the subject of this thread. I'm constantly getting this up and down feeling. I've recently just said to God, "Lord, whatever happens, it's up to you." In other words, I've turned my life back over to Christ after going through a...2-3 year denial period in my life where I just got SO SICK OF IT. Anyways, I'm beginning to notice this...almost horrible, pattern. It's like I go up and down every day. Depressed, then all cheery and happy and on a high, then down again. I don't like it. I mean, I like it when I'm happy, but then the depression feeling sets in all over again (I KNOW it sounds like bi-polar but it's not!) lol. Anyways, that's what I've noticed lately. I can't wait for things to level off into a descent medium sometime. I can clearly see how a person could get sick of all this...up and down process and whatnot. It's like you have to do something bad to just feel good...like a paradox or something...lol I just hope I don't die in this process...I almost shot myself last time. I just got so tired of it. I just hope it doesn't come to that again I mean, it didn't really come to that...I wasn't really planning to do it...it was just me trying to...scare me...lol The Lord prevailed though and I came through it...and was a better person for it. That's all for now...BYEEEEEEE...

It could be a good idea to take a risk outside your boundaries to gain a perspective of your life, keep the journey safe.

You mean guys go through something like this too?? I am almost 50 and my mind has been getting anxious or depressed, sleep problems, etc. I think I may be premenopausal. I don't know how old you are, but this describes you, I would like to converse with you. Funny, the tests came back normal from the doctor, as far as blood tests, hormones, etc. This is kind of bugging me.
To be honest, I do not know if this is more spiritual than physical. I am coming out of sexual/fantasy sins and I know that is part, but I think part of it is physical/mental.
