• 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 am still suffering in the dredges somewhat from my recent breakdown from the OCD leading to depression, but I want to share what is on my mind.
I am fighting the desire to be at home for any length of time and cannot stand being alone. I get extremely bored and agitated at times. I am blessed that I am now on some medication and am able to even type anything on this forum or even read my Bible here in there.
I wish I felt up to providing more support to others, but I am still pretty weak. This thorn still is in my side and I must always contend with it.
How I wish at times like these I could have known Saint Paul for a comrad if that makes any sense at all. Yet, I love Jesus. I may feel sad and lonely sometimes, bored, goofy, antsy, horrible, but I still know he is there. He is winning. He will always win. SO, I am alive, and I credit it to him for saving my life and my soul. I AM HERE. Not perfect, but changing each and every day. I hardly swear anymore. I have not been having angry outbursts hardly at all. I have let a lot of things go I never could before. I have been forgiving more and more and more.
THAT is the WORD, and the TRUTH that we all seek. I will take my comfort when I can in knowing that He will always keep me in his hands.
I hope you all had a Merry Christmas.
Peace and wishes of blessings to all of you

Praise the Lord! Keep it all on Him. The Lord does great, great things beyond our comprehension and He will keep working in you!

2 Cor 12:9 is my life verse, the thorn in the flesh. If the Lord could allowed Paul to suffer to bring glory to Himself, then how beautiful that you and I are suffering for the same purpose!
