• 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.

Nyyogina,
I'm so sorry that you are feeling this way, the pain that you are feeling right now must be great. I urge you to speak with one of the leaders at your church, as well as a doctor. No one is worthless and God has sent each one of us here for a reason, you included. It might be hard to see what that reason is in your period of darkness but pray that God shows you the light as to why he hasn't taken you when you wanted to go. I will be praying for you.

Staci is right. I have been in a similar situation. MY family has left me, I don't have kids or a husband, adn for a long time I truly believed it was over for me. A lot of that was physical for me. Getting on meds and getting my hormones straightened out helped a lot, a gift from God so that I could have the life he made me for. Piece by piece He is healing the giant wounds in my heart and I am now able to be happy and have hope. The external circumstance have not changed that much, but inside my heart there is healing. And He will do that for you too. He is doing it. It's just we can't always feel it or Him.

Please watch and listen to these links. They will help you better understand God's love for you and His plan foryou. Just click the links, and know that I am praying in faith for you. The links:

I am lifting you up in prayer right now! The Lord has amazing things planned for you and will continue to use you as long as your here and seeking after His name! Continue to strive after Him! Your a beautiful creation made in the Name of the MOST powerful entity ever!

Hebrews 12:1-2 is what helped me get through my tough times and brought me closer to Him!

Blessings!

To All the Wonderful Caring Children of God that have posted a reply to my post. Thank you all so very much. I woke up hysterically crying, still feeling so blue. Still pleading to God to please take me and spare a sick person who is loved and needed here on earth. The sadness in my heart feels like a hole. I prayed to God last night to please hold me in his arms and comfort me. It's like I ask him, please in my sleep let me dream with you, so I can see the light. When I am depressed like his it is hard for me to function, but I did make it to work today. And then I feel so guilty about being depressed, i mean there are so many Americans out there that do not have a job. And I ask myself "how can you be so ungrateful?". Yet the sadness lingers. Please please continue to pray for me as I will pray for myself and others. I recieved this in my email today and would like to share it with all.

At The Feet Of The Divine
Laying Our Burdens Down

We weren’t meant to carry such heavy burden alone; visualize yourself laying down your burden and feel the lightness.


We all know the feeling of walking through life as if we are carrying the huge burden of our worries and stresses on our backs and shoulders, struggling to keep moving forward. There is no real way to move freely and fluidly in such a situation, and we are all longing to lay our burdens down. Just imagining that it would be possible to do such a thing can be enough to elicit a sigh of relief and a feeling of lightness.

The human imagination is a powerful tool, and we can use it to take journeys to faraway places without ever leaving our home. Because of this, we too can lay our burdens down at the feet of a divine being such as the great Mother, Buddha or a mountain. Releasing ourselves from that which we can’t handle on our own. No matter how smart we are, how capable we are, or how hard we work, no one can single-handedly cope with all the worries that we tend to take on in the course of our lives. And, we aren’t designed to do so. Our wellbeing depends upon our ability to hand over that which we can no longer carry by ourselves.

Visualizing yourself carrying your burdens to the feet of someone or something much bigger than you can be a powerful daily practice. To begin, sit with your eyes closed and envision an all powerful, supremely comforting being in what ever form that takes for you, standing at the end of a road. See yourself carrying a large sack, box, or other container, imagining that all your worries are inside it. Watch as you make your way to the being of your choice, and lay your baggage down at their feet. Allow yourself to feel the lightness and relief of this action, express your gratitude, and surrender. You will be amazed by how this simple meditation can liberate you from a burden you were never meant to carry.
