• 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

Not sure what is happening yet. could just be a milder mood swing. It tends to happen for me this time of year when the gray clouds roll in and the rains start. I have also been pushing myself very hard. I was up at 5 am yesterday to go to Portland to get bread to give away and for a dr appt. So I may have just exhausted myself and need to recup. And also still all the stress with the cars and son and low sodium and diet/gaining weight again, etc in the background. So I was wise enough yesterday to come home and let my hubby drive me around in the evening to deliver bread. Today is harder coz I have canning to do and I have prayertime which takes a couple of hours, so I am not sure yet whether to stay home and rest, go to prayertime or to try to do as much as I can.

But my main prayer request is that I learn to take time to relax and enjoy life and not worry so much about everything that needs done.
And then I think the exhausted periods will be more reasonalbe.

Thanks!!:groupray:

Hi Alive,:hug:
Sweetie, take a breather and do exactly that...RELAX and take a little time to enjoy the beauty God's blessed us with...even in the grey clouds.:thumbsup:


Father I thank You today for Your timely and bountiful provisions. Lord I give You praise for You are a beautiful and glorious God. Heavenly Father please touch Alive Again's life and situation today. You know intimately her needs and her struggles so I ask Lord that You meet her at the point of each physical and emotional need. Father, You promise rest to the weary and renewal to those who hope in You. Lord, Alive Again trusts in You even at the most weary moments so please grant her rest and strength when she begins again. Lord allow her moments of comfort, solitude and intimacy in Your beautiful presence and give her the ability to see Your perfect will and love even in the clouds which seem to dampen her spirit. Father fill her with joy that she may REJOICE in You! In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

God bless you sister!

Remember the promise of your name: ALIVE AGAIN!!:hug:

Nothing wrong with taking a couple days to recoop....just be careful that you don't let depression creep back in. Wit things looking grey this time of year we can easily get depressed. Maybe when the sun pops back out you will feel better. Sunshine always makes things brighter and believe it or not it does affect how we feel....God Bless....Rush
