• 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

Checking in and prayer request

Taking a minute to check in. My girls are still here visiting. They will be here for another week, they fly out on the 19th. Things are going good. I am having a hard time here and there. I have become very routine in my daily life over the last few years, one of the things that really helps keep me stable...right now, my routine...well, it doesn't exist lol I am also use to spend a lot of time alone. I am very good with time alone. I think I got use to it when my husband was in the military and would be gone for six to nine months at a time. And when he was home he worked a lot. Now he works a lot as he is getting his own business up and running...Alone time is always good for me, quite,peaceful. Yes I love having my girls here but I can tell it is wearing on me emotionally as the quite is not here, and regrouping my thoughts is not easy. I could use prayers for the next week. I do not want them to see or feel that I am stressed. My youngest is very emotional(10, on Zoloft) and I am sure she can pick up on things.

Searchingforpeace,

I could really relate to your post. I crave alone time. Maybe too much and too often, I don't know. But the one thing I do keep in check is that even Christ, Himself, pulled away from His disciples and had alone time. So if He had to, well, that just says to me it is okay to have it once in a while.

My prayers will be for you and your time to find youself. Blessings!

I think alone time is good for everyone but like you I think I need it too much, but normally it is ok. Even my husband is around a lot more b/c he has been taking a lot of time off with the girls here. I don't know how some couples do it where they work together then are home all evening together lol Don't think that would be good for my marriage lol

Thank you for the prayers. :)
