• 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.
Hello all, I am so glad I found this group, I'm not on my own. I have lost count how many times I have tried to pray Philippians 4:6 over my life. I know a lot of you know what I am trying to say.

I have had victory for a few years until recently due to circumstances beyond my control it has returned with a vengeance. Have tried my learnt coping strategies with not much success. I know that the Lord will not put me through more than I can endure but there are days when I feel I'm loosing my mind. But I know that he is beside me and in control.

I'm so sorry to hear about the hard time you're having right now and past. I have GAD too, and it's not easy.
Sometimes prayer can only go so far, and you have to get help from another source.....and that source will sometimes (without us knowing) be the very things we were praying for.

I pray that God will show you the way to get stronger and to overcome. That God will show you new ways of helping yourself out and making things better.

God Bless you!

Thanks for your reply, all things are possible for those who believe.

This is my second time around getting help for this, have been blessed as the Lord has given me an opportunity to take part in a ground breaking new treatment trial for ccbt, which is free as I can no longer afford to pay for therapy.

I have learnt to take each day as it comes, and pray my way through the bad ones, the bad days are the hardest to cope with though.

Blessings

A friend of mine also recommended that passage to me after my struggles.
