• 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'm looking for an awnser to my problems and not sure what question to as or what to share... It would be nice if once we became a christian God would answer all our questions in life, what to do and such... I've tried to avoid them and it worked well for many years. You can get by without facing your problems at 5 and 15 because they will go away in time... what do you do when your 25 and you can no longer run away? I tried taking 200 sleeping pills awhile back and changed my mind after taking them...

I think God is trying to teach me something with these problems that I don't want to learn right now... or maby just don't understand...

If you know what to say, i'm lissening because i don't.

:confused:

time for work.

Hi Gordon,

I am sort of new here, as well, and am struggling with some of my own issues.

I do know that suicide is never a good option. Christ has so much love for you. I am glad you changed your mind about that. From the short time I have been on this site, I have read some really wonderful posts from the "regular" counselors, per se.

I was advised to read God's word in the Bible on a regular basis. That is something that I have not been doing lately. The reminder to immerse oneself in God's word was good for me. Perhaps, this is something you can do, as well.

I will be praying for you, Gordon. Blessings to you.

i found that reading the bible daily helps a lot. also having a close friend to talk to your problem who will give you advice helps too.

I'm always here, to help anyone with their depression. (I'm battling my own right now)

You aren't alone. =)
