• 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

because of my depression, anxiety and problems with society i always end up being the odd man out in every social situation, whether its an online forum or a video game or real life job or any other social function.

and i really hate things with ranks like martial arts, when i was in the military and every job. people always think i am dumb because i am not white and i am timid in social interactions but i am easily one of the smartest people there and i my merits never go recognized. and im always given everything lowest on the totem pole.

even in mmo games, i was one of the most prominent members in my guild for 2 years and i still have the rank of recruit, which is the same rank given to people who join day 1, and 2 guys who joined couple months ago are already officers.

i try not to worry too much though because deep down i know what i really am and everyone who treated me bad in this life will be slaves of mine in the afterlife.

Your problem with ranks sounds like it could have something to do with jealousy judging by the fact that other people rise up quicker and it bothers you. It could be due to the fact that you just want everyone only to assume the rank that's best for them/the group also. But at that point the only thing to remember are the words of Jesus.

Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave

I take all my burdens to the Lord in prayer and i wait on God. Its not always easy, and it took me a long time to learn how to do this, but that's the advice i would give to everyone. There are many things in this life that cause us grief, the Lord cares though and he wants us to cast all our burdens on him and learn to live in His strength.

I don't know anything about Martial Arts or online gaming but I can relate to your constantly feeling left out as I have that problem myself. Even people who are supposed to be my friends leave me out sometimes and then get all upset at me when I get upset with them *smh*. Sorry I can't give you any proper advice only to say I understand and you are not alone *HUGS*
