• 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.

Ive been reading this forums for a few days, trying to get the courage to voice myself.

what happend to me was classified as Sexual assault with intent to kill.
High school flame didnt appreciate that I could live without him...5-6 years after the break-up.

I hated him after what he did.
I still have anger when I think about it.
But I found out I could be happy again when I gave up on hate.

I did have help.
Loving and understanding boyfriend, now husband.

It still hurts when I think about it.
I still tremble sometimes.
I still cry sometimes.
I still have nightmares sometimes.

But Im also happy now.
Because I dont hate.



just thought Id share that.

I'm soooo proud of you. Hate was a crutch for me for about 20 years, I've only given it up in he past year. I'm not saying I don't get extremly angry sometimes still, but the all consuming, I want to put them through hell, hate is finally gone. Many blessins and prayers for you as you continue on your healing journey.

thank you.

I only started healing when I stopped hating.
Hate only hurts oneself.
It consumes the soul until all thats left is a rotten, sour core. Once you let go, its like a weight is lifted. Only you can let go tho.

Hugs to those who need it.
its free!

Keep your faith and be strong and proud of who you are.

I haven't been past the hate yet,I just don't know how but my situation involved strangers. I don't know if that makes any difference,probably some but hate is hate and it disfiguires you. I wish I could get there! There's too much regret on my part,wrong place,wrong time.
