• 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've been feeling really down at times lately, especially very late at night when there just happens to be no one around to talk to.

One thing that's helped me a lot is the reading and writing I do on the Psalms and other parts of the Bible. I invite you to visit my blog when you're feeling down. I havn't been keeping up with my studies lately but I'm starting to post on my blog daily. I am also writing an e-book on conquering depression.

But about the "fan mail" hehe, someone gave me a fun idea the other day. I was feeling absolutly horrible one night. I was just laying in bed unable to sleep praying for God to take me home. I couldn't sleep so I got up to get back on my computer to see if anyone was on to talk to. No one was, but I checked my e-mail right before I tried going back to bed and a friend had sent me an e-mail earlier titled "fan mail". He was just saying he's been thinking about me and he was saying jokingly that he's my #1 fan, and he was saying all kinds of good and encouraging things, just to get me to smile. It did put a smile on my face and I was able to go to bed thankful rather than discouraged.

I'm remaking my CF homepage and plan to put a lot of fun things in my HTML section, one talking a bit about this. I'd love to start doing this for others. I hate to see others go through the pain I do. If anyone would ever just like a bit of encouragement, it doesn't matter who you are or what your beliefs are, feel free to PM me your e-mail and I'll send out "fan mail" to you on a regular basis lol ^_^. Please do not post any addresses in here though, that's against CF policy. So if you're interested, sometimes it really does help to just get an encouraging letter from someone, and I'm more than happy to send them! Making others happier is what makes me happy.

God bless
