• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

Everything keeps falling apart...

I feel like I cannot build up one meaningful thing in my life without it falling apart... I grew up being abused by my family and my classmates.. and now I dont even have a family and I do everything that I can to stick up for others and be the best that I can be... but everything that I do results in failure and hypocricy... I'm done fighting. I don't really have a reason to keep trying anymore.. even people on this site are attacking me for who i used to be... and they dont even see my struggles.. but i try to stay strong because others look up to me... but i am afraid that isnt the case anymore.. the truth is exposed... now hate fills in the gap... I just do not know what to do anymore..

You need to be scooped up, listened to, taken seriously, treated gently and loved wholeheartedly. This is meant to describe church. Hopefully there is such real a place near you. Alone you face almost insurmountable barriers. Trust, security,self confidence, even hope have all been crushed out of you. it will take the wise and gentle counsel of Jesus through one of his genuine followers to see you through your devastated life thus far.

I wish I could do more.

There's only so much any human can do. If you do your best, but things still fall apart, it isn't really your fault. That's just the way it is because we are limited beings. Realizing our own limitations is important.

I'm sorry you've had such a rough time, not only in real life but also here on the forums. Try to remember, and this is something I often forget, that no matter how people treat you, the value of doing the right thing doesn't change. Standing up for others is still admirable, no matter how others treat you.
