• 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 just wanted to get this off my chest because maybe someone will understand where I'm coming from. It seemed like just a little while ago my life was going so perfect..and now it seems like it all fell apart..every aspect of my life that i thought would never happen to me..happened or the things i never thought I'd do..I did. And i can act normal and pretend like everythings ok but i would just be living a lie. I don't know where it all went wrong..and i guess i have nobody to blame but myself..and by all means i'm not blind to the fact that there are people and families in worse situations than me..and its unfortunete so i guess my life and some of the things i have to deal with are just unfortunete. but its not fair. i guess now you can say life isnt always fair..but i dont buy that. because i believe everyone writes their own future and i believe you can change those certain things that you strongly believe need to be changed...i think ever since my dad divorced my mom it started going wrong..our income got split in half..and obviously our family.. something that meant more to me than anything..and now i find myself living in a totally different state with my mom and brother..living with my grandpa..driving with friends that are younger than me who have their license and a car..especially being a teenager in the 21st century theres lots of pressure of growing up fast and getting things fast..unfortunetly even though i get my license soon i cant get a car..im never going to be like my rich friends and experience some of the luxuries they get to experience..and its like when my friends ask me why i cant go there or why i dont have this..i feel like i have to explain to them why..and it just reminds me..i always think to myself if it wasnt for my dad things would be so much easier..its hard to forgive him..and i think a part of me will always have some kind of anger towards him..i feel like i have a missing part of my heart and i cant live..i have this pain in me all the time that makes me want to cry..and i dont know what it is..but its running my life..i had a stage in my life recently where i was really depressed..and once again my friends would ask why..and i didn't know what to say..i would say its just everything..over all i have to think to myself maybe its because i dont have God..my whole life i was raised in a christian family and sometimes i still feel like i dont know who i am and what i believe..but i've always thought i had God..but i look back on my life..and i think how? i just dont know what to do..what to think...how to handle things..im just done..and i want to run away..or just scream..im going crazy inside and i dont know how i come off like everythings ok on the outside..as far as a reply..i dont know what im looking for..and mainly i just think i wanted to get it all out..i feel like i wrote a novel..so if you read this far..thank you for your time..and maybe you can help me somehow..

When dad left us...geez. That was a train wreck. I imagine you are feeling the same thing. I wish you didn't have to go through this. But you do, and it's gonna hurt.
God will carry you through. It's not going to be pretty but he gets the job done. Being a Christian doesn't mean we're going to go through life like we're high on pills all the time.
We experience life, both good and bad, and we have to live through it.

I have a female friend that is going through this states away from me now.She has had such a change of lifestyle,her anger is ruining her life.someday you'll be on your own and you will have the power to do the things you want.stay in school,study hard and get away from where you're at.this may sound like a pipe dream but no it's really the power to turn the tables.so your dad changed your life financially.you'll soon be in charge of your own life right? You can be whatever you want if you work at it. I hope you don't let a parents breakup ruin your life.
