• 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.

Hi. I am relativelly new around here. I have been working in healthcare for a decade or so, maybe more like 12 years. I am just tired of it. I am always caring for everyone else but no one allows me time for myself. I have to steal it from them. I felt like I had a messiah complex as a kid and it just followed me into the work world.

I can not take it anymore. I can not find a new carreer. My family and my client are always needing something from me. When I want a brake I get disrespect. I went into psychology to help people but now most days I want to be callious to the pains of my fellow man.

It's a shame no one replied to you when you posted this months ago and it appears you may never have been back since. In the rare event you should return and read this (or for anyone else in your position) please take time away from your job. Your clients need your full attention and they deserve your compassion. From one professional caregiver to another, please remember, you can't take care of anyone else if you don't take care of yourself first. I hope things are looking up for you.
