• 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.

I've had a weird problem lately. I started dating a nice christian girl recently, but as I've gotten to know her better I have begun to lose interest. I don't know how to end the relationship though because I am afraid that I am going to hurt her, and I see this as a sin. Not only that, but she is a nice girl and I don't want to upset her, especially because the last relationship she was in ended badly. The only problem is that I feel like leading her on more is going to hurt her worse in the end, so I'm not sure what to do. I have never dated a Christian before, and thought of hurting someone that God loves scares me, but I just can't keep on going in that relationship. Have any of you dealt with an issue like that before, and what did you do?

If your certain that you no longer want to continue the relationship, then it probably would be best to break up early. It might be hard, but you can break it to her gently and make it clear that you think she is a nice girl. Tell her the truth, and just be kind and loving about it. That would be my advice.
