• 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

Hi! I am now praying_hoping because since I joined last week, I have tried to sign in numerous times and everytime it says "invalid password." Then it says "click here" to have your password sent to you. Well, I've tried that for a week, but nothing was ever sent to me. I also e-mailed Christian Forums twice to help me but nothing happened. So now I'm using my daughter's e-mail address and had to register again. I wanted to thank everyone that responded to my message of "so many years of fighting this." I went to the dr. today and he got blood work back on me and I have to see a blood specialist for macrocytic anemia. On top of that, I found out I'm losing my job of three years as of June 1st. The dr. also raised my dosage of antidepressants I'm taking. And I ended a three year friendship recently and am mourning that also. I feel like giving up. My finances are in ruins and now I'm losing my job. I have had so many series of bad events happen to me since last September that I find I just don't care about anything anymore. I feel numb. No feelings left. I have not given up on God but I've given up on me. It seems everytime I start to feel better, something else comes along to knock me right back down. So all that's left of me now is numbness. I don't want to "feel" anymore-it's too painful! Does anyone feel the same way?

The forum has been down so much the last week, If you registered, it may not have sent it to the receiver or where ever it goes. The forum has been up grading the system so it has really been down and off most of the time.

Maybe you should register again and maybe it will take it. I know the feeling, when you think you might get some help every thing goes haywire. but that is just another way satan has of stressing us more if that is possible.

I am so sorry to hear about your job. Maybe you will find something else, we will pray about that as well.

Depression does some bad thing to you.

The loss of your friend and the anemia, when trouble strikes it seems to all come at one time dosen't. Sometimes seems not much left to loose.

But cheer up my dear, you will find so many people here that want to help you. Start saying to yourself and outloud I am ok, I will think positive thoughts, I will find new friends, I will find a job, and my finances will change. Just determine in your heart and mind you will over come this situation with the help of God and all the new friends I will find on CF.

Don't think about the negative, worry is not going to help that at all. It has happened and now you must decide to look up.

Please send me a private message if you would like to talk more.

Let us pray: Our Heavenly Father, we come to you this morning asking you to bring peace and comfort to your child. Lord, the needs here are many and we know you know the answers even before the questions is asked. We ask that employment be made available for this person and she will be able to work and pay her bills. Lord we ask that you touch her body and give her a clear mind so that she will be able to work. Lord, We pray the doctor will get her on the right meds for her sickness and she will become a whole new person in You. Lord, I pray she finds many new friends here and she will be a blessing to them as they will be a blessing to her. Lord, you know the needs better than we know our selves. So we pray that your will be done and this lady willbe re-newed in strength and courage and joy will return to her life and she will become a vital part of Your family. In Jesus name, we pray. amen
