• 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 want to smoke pot so i can numb my pain. in order to discover my pain and embrace i must find out whats causing it. most likely it's childhood memories. i want to find out on my own. im afraid of psychiatrists because i dont trust them. how can i uncover these memories and false beliefs that are causing me pain? if anyone has any suggestions that would be great.

Dear Brother.

I can tell life was/is hard for you. It's hard on everyone. Some, more than others. Smoking pot won't make the pain go away. It will only make it worse when you're older. Don't hide from the problems, face them. BUT don't try facing them alone, only with God's help may you succeede. You can always PM me, if you need something. Don't waste your life on fighting memories....look for the future, and the light of Jesus Christ!:hug: :angel:


God bless,
:hug: Anna

sometimes the past has to do with what we have become in the future, but at 16 it is hard to tell what you are talking about......
for me at 42, i really do not have much recollection of the past.....almost as if i have a past...i say figure it out now so you will not forget it for so longgggggggggg never to have it return. finding out on your own is not wise at alll, you need somewhere there who can help you deal with it......

Would anyone in your family help you and tell you what went on when you were young. Lately things have been coming to me ,like almost being rapped by a guy that my fsther let me stay at his house, I was only 10 and can't understand why my father would let me go? sorry not aboiut me, But, certain things have been triggering thoughts and I ask my mom and they really did happen. Thank GOD that I always told my mother everything that went on in my life. Good or bad!
I don't think masking the pain will help but I do know what you mean about pdocs!!! They can't be trusted, I end up in the hospital when I open up.
