• 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

i feel alone. reaching out to other's for their benifit is easy. reaching out to others for yourself is very hard. i am bringing my hurt here, because my hurts are here. God is good. I give Him the glory in my happiness, and i will give Him glory in my sadness. i haven't felt this alone and small in along time. swallowed by my hurts. i need to rest, but i find none. i need comfort in a peace of mind, i find conflict. God will shape me. i long to see an end to my confusion. i never meant to hurt anyone.

nothing in life is easy, but bringing everything to God is easy, he does not judge, he is always with u, and will listen without u thinking u are stepping on his toes. U don't know me that well but I'm always here to listen and help in any way.

Dear Rdee, you were kind to me and so nice and patience, your in my heart always, so I guess you're not alone, and your kind heart means you're not a spiritually small person. your very important to people who know you and who you have influenced.
call on the Name of the Lord to fill you with Joy, and keep satan far from you, I pray that God will fill your life with joy and the knowledge that you are important and not alone
hugs,
pam

God is so loving when He allows us to reach out to eachother. thank you for all the love you are reaching out to me.
thank you to everyone!!!

I understand how you feel - it is so easy to help other people but trying to get help for yourself is sometimes so hard, but it means that you know how hard it is for people when they ask for your help. Remember that God loves you always and pray for that help to come in a way that you need. If you need to talk PM me, I'll reply later because I have to leave now. love, Vicki xx

:hug: :hug: my Dee. You may feel alone, but your not alone. Your in my heart to stay, and so many others here. :hug: You are so precious!!

I'm sorry your hurting so bad over everything. I wish I could make it better for you. I know God is in control Dee, and I know everything will work out just fine. I also know these words won't really help you stop feeling bad...I'm sorry.

I love you so much!! :hug: remember I'm always here for you if you need anything.

Love,
Kaitie

Diva, Kaitie, Bevlina... :hug: and anyone else to read this:
thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and giving me encouragemnt.
i posted this when i was so stressed out... i gave myself the worse headache. i had such a battle of good and negative... my heart was crushed and i let some anger, bad feelings and guilt have too much room in my thinking. Spiritual war. my brain would not shut off; i prayed... i got away from the computer, i went out... finally i ended up taking a mild seditive and motrine for my head that caused me to sleep. i slept most of it off ... and when i got courage enough to come back online, i found encouraging mail. i'm fine now... boy i learned i had people to talk to all over CF! i would have been alone at home, because i have not shared any of this with any but my children... and ofcourse i could talk to them about this like i needed. kaitie your first advice to me i wish i had gotten that through my head :hug: ... Mr. cheese was awesome :hug:; Bevlina :hug: and Deamiter :hug: i needed your imput so much. thank you so very much!! you all are wonderful!!
:clap: :clap: I PRAISE GOD THAT HE IS SO LOVING TO LIFT US UP AND PUT OTHERS IN OUR LIVES!!! :clap: :clap: thank you for being His hands and feet!!

From what I've read here you done alot for a lot of people.. just remember you can't be everything to everyone, that gods job. If you truly made an error when talking to this person, then offer a heart felt appoligy, and let it go. it is up to the other person to accept or decline.. that desision is between them and god, don't let your life be run by others... accidents happen, advise can be bad, sometimes feelings are hurt, do what your required to make amends and then let it go...why should your selfworth be determined by anothers spiritual maturity..

~Good luck and God bless
