• 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

The mind is also like a muscle. We must exercise it, for it to become strong. The WORD (spoken) is a powerfule tool.

Speak; Positive(s) and the mind will make adaptations.
I am a firm believer in first fruits, speak good things (even if you don't believe them fully now..); when your first awake.

Try it, what have you got to lose? It works...

Today is a good day, I will be a blessing to someone today, I am blessed and highly favored. There is purpose to my life, I expect good things to happen today. I will not waste today. I'm glad to be alive and happy. I will be happy today!

sometimes even when you know God's view of you its hard to feel it. does that make sense? ....I try to keep reminding my self through scripture, writing down encouraging verses to look at in the low times. it's hard though, but I know ultimately i can do all things through christ who strengthens me.

I know the WORD is powerful, yet sometimes it is easier to see the glass as half empty. Also, first fruits are generally referenced in the Bible regarding giving the first and best of what we have to God. But attitude does affect our feelings, so does praising God no matter what.

yes, this makes sense! I've felt that way a million times more than you, because I'm older!

I like your bible verse...we all need to cling to it!
