• 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

Crying Out



I have to stay numb
So I can't feel it
Years of pain
All jammed in me
Memories that hurt
Is all I can see
Altering my mind
To survive
God exisits
That I will never deny
But all of what he asks
I can't supply
He wants me to trust
But I trust no one
Even though
He is the Only Son
I live in my own world
It is safe there
No one to hurt me
Everyone just lets me be
Living in silence
Is the only way
Staying numb and crying out
Not wanting to live another day

Just wondering about your story. I have felt the same way. My husband woke me up in the middle of the night sitting on top of me with a knife over my head and his hand over my mouth. I thought he was finally going to kill me. In a way, I hoped he would because I looked forward to being with Jesus. That was 2.5 years ago. My husband and I have been separated for 2 years now (only because God intervened--I was not strong enough to do it on my own), and he has been pushing for divorce. I filed with legal aid today, and afterward, he happened to call to let me know he had a girlfriend (he still did not know at the time that I had filed). I have been through every kind of abuse there is, unfortunately. It is sad...after experiencing so many things in my childhood, I married an abusive man. Unending cycle. Things are looking up for me, though. Dream I had that never seemed possible are being fulfilled. The abusive relationship led me to Christ, but it was still so hard to see in the middle of it all, and it was too hard to get out of because I was told it was all my fault, and I believed it! I prayed for God to change my husband...for my husband to become a Christian...I begged with God...pleaded with Him...questioned Him--Why don't you do something? The hard part for me was to keep the bitterness out after the separation. I was only able to do this because a Christian friend reminded me that it was a way in which Satan could get into my life. Looking back I think--my only hope then was to be with Jesus, but now, I want to stay here and live my dreams--tell people about Him, and when I am done, I will go to be with Him.
