• 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.

  • 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 everyone,
I'm editing my post because it could have triggered someone. My sister just rejected me because I am not like her and living the way she does. I am totally disabled and cannot work and sometimes cannot even function. I didn't take a bath in 2 mos because I was so depressed and my laundry is sky high. She starts fights with me whenever she can. She is antagonistic. I told her that I did not like her trying to make me feel guilty all the time and to stay out of my business. I was just so tired of her trying to make me out to be something that I am not. This has been going on for quite awhile. I actually told her thank you for rejecting me but I am sad she has to pick on me all the time. She did it on FB so everyone could see and embarrassed me all the time. She put down my friend on FB and my friend stood up to her for belittling her. I had another sister who is gone and have no other sisters left, I mean biological. I could use prayers. I have several diagnosis and life is very hard for me. I believe in Jesus and pray but need to more. I really need uplifting advice and motivation to be closer to Jesus once again. Thank you for reading this.

It's okay! :hug: God loves you and is still watching out for you in this time!

1 Peter 5:7 says "Casting all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you."

Don't give up! He REALLY truly loves you! He's got your back!

:hug: :hug: :hug: ;) ;)
Thank you very much!

I am definitely praying for you, Ruth. Please remember that what your sister did was not at all about you. It says many things about her.

You have a dear, sweet heart, but sadly everyone does not value that quality. But we do here. I'm glad you're here in our online family.

Prayers,
a

Earlier in this thread it was said that people do not understand mental illness. That is very true Ruth. The only people that will truly understand you are those who have experienced it. Try to remember that those who hurt you really don't understand mental illness or how devastating it is to those who are going through it.

Take everything deep in your heart and your innermost feelings back to God. He is the only one who knows you so well.

* big hug*

Sweet sis I just saw this thread now and I am SO SORRY that I haven't seen it sooner. FIRST A (((((((((((BIG HUG))))))))))) to you. Your sister is SOOOOOOOOOO WRONG about you, I think you are an amazing person! Second I know how you feel, my brother never even invited me to his wedding that is suppose to take place some time this month. I am a "loser" in his eyes cause he still lives his "glory days" of high school and here I am, I can't work cause of my disabling panic disorder and anxiety and depression. For most of my life he has been embarrassed by me cause I was not "popular" in high school. I didn't party another words I didn't muster up to what he wanted me to be. SO I kind of know how you feel sis. My own mother doesn't want anything to do with me now that my father passed.
But you know what sis, you have a family here on CF who LOVE YOU so dearly and care about you. You mean so much to us.
I love ya lots sis ((((((((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))))))))) still praying for you :) <3 :hug::hug::hug::hug::hug:

Ruth Jesus loves you unconditionally. He isn't worried about the external stuff but loves you for who you are. Please don't heed those people who belittle you but know that in God's eyes you are beautiful and worthwhile.


Beauty is more than skin deep it goes to the recesses of the heart - and that's what counts.

:hug:Thank you for your prayers. You are right. The CF family loves us all just the way we are. It's unfortunate your brother is so blind to your worthfullness and kindness and good heart.

Stay strong Ruth, big hug x
I'm trying to. Thank you.:hug:

Thank you Jeshu. You are so right.

God bless all of you. I am trying to stay afloat evenly emotionally. Trying not to let anything get me down. I guess there are always going to be people that don't appreciate us. I guess they need prayers because they are on the wrong path.
