• 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

You listen to what I say right now. First of all,do you want to feel better because if you don't want to than you wont. I know it seems hard right now. I'm talking from experience. Don't say that no one loves you because people don't have to know you to love you. I don't have to be a family member or a friend who has known you for years,but I am a humanbeing and to hear you talk like that breaks my heart. I have bi polar so get just as depressed as you but I get the other half too when I snap out of it and feel too good. I think you need to be on some meds. Sometimes though meds are not always the answer it could be your life style right now too. I don't know you so I can't tell you what needs to be done but if I was there close to you I would drag your ass to the shower and make you go work out at the gym with me and than get you on a balanced diet and than that alone would make you feel good. You need to change your thought process,it's going to be hard if you have just been thinking the negative for years. What makes you happy or smile even a little,what brings a little light of hope to you,whatever it is do it,bath in it,eat it,surround yourself with it. Don't say nothing because there is something and if you don't know well FIND IT. You don't know me and I don't know you but I bleed like you,I cry like you,and I hurt like you and you want to know what,I care about you. You feel like this you talk to me,I'm not kidding..seriously..HEY I'm not friggin kidding. you can privite messege me on here. Don't ever EVER think about taking your life. There is a way out,I know you can't think that way right now,but it will get better and I can help you only if you want the help.

Why are we here?
What is the point...
of laughter?
of being in a city you hate?
of being in surface, unfulfilling relationships?
of seeking God when he is so far away?
of working hard?
of looking to the future?
of constantly sinning?
of being happy?
of gaining wealth?
Nothing will be accomplished at the end of the day.
1) To bring joy to God bearing his creative loving image to the world
2) expressed the joy of life
3) What do you hate in your city? Is it the sin?
4) Do you have the deep knowledge that you were meant for intimate relationships with others and problem also occur?
5) Yes, you work hard because you were given talents to work
6) Yes, you were called to one hope when you were called
7) That is why you have grace...sin does not prevent you from having a relationship with God...grace is there so that God will handle it. We work every day at loving everyone more deeply but we mess up...Don't let that accuse you...that is the tatic of the devil.
8) Yes, joy is in the Lord
9) greed is empty because you can never have enough...but your life is not a measure of the achivements or the amount of things you have...the measure of your life is in the shared love with God and his creation
10) What do you want accomplished?

Listen to her words...don't kill yourself. The pain of this life is not worth killing yourself. God put you on this earth to display his love and joy to the world. So then, find your strength in the Lord. When something does not go the way you wanted...start thinking about a spiritual song. When someone hurts you, see God loves you still. When you can't breath, remember God gave you the breath and it is not from you. God's grace is awesome. Sin is not the last word in life, and it has is bonds around you. However, Jesus came so that you can have a life better than you ever dreamed of. So live free in Christ.

Psalm 46:10
10 “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

Eph. 2:8-10
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Phil 4:4-9
4Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
8Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable— if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

I have found that I no longer take pleasure in anything. Even when the birds are out and the sun is shining, it is pure blackness in my world. Last night, I hit rock bottom. I came closer than I have ever to ending my own life. I was about to take over 65 sleeping pills. I have no idea what stopped my hand. Relationships, work, school, even breathing have become to much for me. I see my life going no where. Why are we here?

Nothing will be accomplished at the end of the day. My body will waste away until I am old and sad with no one to care for me. I don't have any dreams.
Life is like chasing after the wind, even when you think your hands are full of treasure, you're holding air.


Hi appointed :wave:

Can I ask a why question? Why or what has made you feel like this? Did something happen? Things always look worse than they really are especially when we are depressed. So can you tell me or PM me if you don't want to talk in the open. :hug:

I'd like echo what Taylor says in that people do care and our Lord does too!! So much about depression is the whole withdrawal from these facts! So while testimony and progress are so important in recovery, so too, is the potential power in helping others!! Just by having the courage to post here and tell your story, you are helping to heal others!!!:thumbsup:

I have yet to share my story but i need time but for now just reading and encouraging gives me hope to go on in my walk with Jesus.

Bless you Taylor and would not want you to think that I'm pushing anyone who is not ready to talk about their story!! No, you have told your story here in a way already and you are helping others!!

As we heal and participate in life at "lifespeed", we sometimes forget to share with others in need. I have done it a lot and I try to constantly thank our Lord and to give back to others who have helped me and to be of service to others.
