• 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

Are you sure it's anger or is it irritability? Because I get very irritable sometimes. There was a guy on the bus today that wouldn't stop coughing. It wasn't like constant coughing just every 20 seconds or so one quiet abrupt cough. I felt so bad for him and I wanted to give him a kleenex or help him but it was driving me so crazy I had to get off the bus and take the next one. I realized I loved him anyway but I just couldn't take it. I wanted him to COUGH, and get it out, it was like he was holding it in. I felt bad I couldn't deal with it but I asked God to forgive me. Irritability is a direct result of your illness. Give it to God and rest in Him, because He gives peace.

I'm always irritable because of OCD, but I do have horrible anger issues as well. I just get to a point where I feel completely out of control and I lash out in anger at my husband. Fight or flight response takes control and I can't stop it until I'm reassured and comforted excessively. That's just me though. I always thought I was just willfully sinning, but now I realize why I get so mad. I feel like a cornered animal. I'd like to say I'm working on this issue, but I can't say that since I've had NO success combating anger issues. BUT the Lord is faithful! I know He is working on me and loving me because He said He would. I'm just trying to let Him work in the areas that I can't seem to gain control of.
