• 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

Have you ever came to the point when you are so so tired living it over and over again. My brain is tired with the thoughts of where to go from here. I want to get councelling but it just seems like another chore! Yet I want it all to go away. I'm sorry I ever opened up and let it out, it's to great a burden! I want to bury it again and hide in silence but it just won't go away!!!! Would appreciate some prayer cause at this moment I want to run away from the world. I am isolating myself yet I don't like the feeling of being isolated, I'm finding it hard to eat or sleep!

I feel for you. Most of those who I have spent time with have sought help because of pain and problems in their lives. As the lid is lifted on past events many express a desire to just stuff the lid on again, forgetting all the reasons they began the process of healing in the first place.

It's at this stage that a person needs sensible, caring support to get them through that time and discover increasing measures of healing as they continue on their journey.

May you come to experience the reality of these verses:

Phil 1:6-7 being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ;

1 Thess 5:24 The one who calls you is faithful and he will do it.

Bless you

It breaks my heart to read this because I know exactly what you mean, I buried my experiences for a very very long time,,, when it came to dealing with them, I really did wish they were still deeply buried I even went to my counselling sessions totally [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed so I could say things,,... But, there is a freedom that comes eventually, it takes time and work and prayer. IT IS WORTH IT

While we hide, those that hurt us rule us, what we do, and how we react... don't let them !

As far as I know it's an international site.

I am praying for your healing and for you to find a good therapist to help you deal with this by talking about it to him or her and then later to gradually learning to forgive and let go. It took me years after therapy to finally let go and forgive. Forgiving does not mean you like them or say its ok. It helps you to be freed of the haunting of this experience. I went through therapy and life and medications. I am doing a lot better since. Best wishes for you.
