• 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 new to this site, and I can't believe I found it. It is a blessing to me that I did because I can talk about this kind of thing with people who have the same thing. I struggled for 5 years with OCD and it controlled my life completely. It affected me so bad that I began abusing alcohol and drugs which only made my life worse. It got so bad at one point that I was on the verge of committing suicide and I now suffer from panic and severe anxiety. I just want to say this to anyone out there that as OCD. I stopped my OCD one day because I realized that I can't keep on living with it. I can't control my surroundings by delusions and weird habits that don't make sense. I have to say though, it feels weird after living with it for so long but it feels good. If you have OCD, I know it's really hard to stop it, and even though it's out of my life it still tries to creep in. But any time it does, I just let it go. When we die, it won't matter what our minds were telling us. It only matters what God does for us. If you need help, send me a message and I'll see what I can do to help you.
