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.

Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

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.

When I was younger I had nitemares all the time, the same ones because of what happened to me when I was little and I'd wake up in the middle of the nite terrified to go back to sleep because I didn't want to visualize it again... just like you said... at least I was able to go to sleep in the first place... but the only thing I could do is feel safe in my blankets and watch the same movie that distracted me from my fears over and over til I eventually fell asleep...
Now if I get scared I sleep with holding my bible close to me and I had a pillow case where I wrote these verses on it about sleeping and it really helped me, maybe not everyone...
Psalm 3:5 I sleep and wake up refreshed because you, Lord, protect me.
Psalm 4:8 I will both lay me down in peace and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makes me dwell in safety.
I do know how that feels when you don't want to close your eyes... been there!
