• 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 oh why just when i thought it was all coming together and i was starting a new job. Why does depression always keep bugging you and causing you to fall.

I had my medical today for a job based on the questionnaire i had filled in but he said that it is not a no and not a yes because i will be dealing with the public and maybe confrontation.

I have dealt with confrontation at my last job adn in the same circumstances.

just got to wait.

Sorry just having a whinge

Stress, whether it is good or bad, causes a depressed reaction in anyone. Adrenalin, then lowered serotonin.

Sorry for what you are suffering. I've been through it too. The things I found God used to help me the most were: Christian counseling, antidepressants, Scripture, and Christian recovery groups such as Overcomers Outreach. Also, isn't there a group in here that deals with cutting?

It's hard to reach out when you are emotionally exhausted, but it is so worth it. I'll pray for you, friend. God bless you. Aloha in Jesus :wave:

P.S. If you want to read an example , see "Personal Testimony" in my website listed on my profile page.
