• 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

Yes boredom drives me batty. Then my brain plays little games like that too. I don't have the exact same thoughts but it like starts obsessing over the boredom and then I start thinking a bunch of what-ifs. I have to believe God understands us and will be happy to have us home someday. I hate OCD too with a passion. Hope you don't stay bored for long.
Peace

Haha! Exactly like some of mine! Whenever I am not busy at work and am just relaxing at home, I am worse. I'm sure you've noticed that OCD is always better when you are doing something. My psychologist tells me to refocus, or distract myself, and most of the time it works exellently.

Mine doesn't act up when I'm bored. I finally have the right medications and it does not act up unless I am under an unusual amount of stress. I have some depressing thought when I'm bored but I link that to the depression I have.

I am praying for us all!
