• 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

hi munkey gurl :wave:

There could be lots of reasons why you can't cry. Sometimes it's hard to know our own hearts. It must be very frustrating for you. :cry:

If you have trusted Christ as your sinbearer, why not ask God to fix the problem, and show you if there's anything you need to do to cooperate? Psalm 139:23-24, Proverbs 3:5-6 He's sure helped me in the past, especially with a lot of emotional questions. I pray that He'll clear this up for you. :prayer:

Aloha in Christ :)

Hi again Munkey Gurl -:wave:

Glad to see your post said you felt better. :thumbsup: About the depression - I know from personal experience that that can sometimes be caused by physical problems. My depression is gone now, tho I had it for many years before I saw my doctor. (An indication in my case was like this - I could be happily walking along and heavy depression would come over me for no known reason, as though suddenly I had banged into a glass wall.)

I'll pray for you, friend. Aloha in Jesus :)

in my opinion you shouldnt necessarily hold it in...cause then to much builds up inside and it can make you even more depressed and stressed out.. i do that alot because i dont like ot share my feelings with anyone...i hide from it and it makes everything worse....just find a good friend or even write in a journal how you feel...its a relief to let everything out.
