• 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.

:wave: Ok, first I would like to thank yall for taking the time to read this...basically to make a long story short, I have a fear of going to the doctor...i guess basically I am afraid of some possible terminal illness will be found, and I know like everyone says it is better to find out early...but...

now to the point of the story, it is starting to invade areas of my future..there are a couple of jobs that i would love to have but am afraid to push towards these occupations beacuse of having to get a physical..they are= becoming a police officer and being a truck driver...

Can anyone offer me some words of wisdom, some inspiration...something to make me feel good! :D

Thanks and God Bless my good people! :wave:

humm... seems like you've got a bit of a problem on your hands here. Nothing God can't take care of though.

Just to let you know, doctors are good. They keep you healthy and do tell you if there is something wrong.

Just recently we had a scare of me having cancer. 14, with cancer. I was scared to death. I prayed and prayed and prayed some more. We ran tests and it turns out I have whats called JRA. Its a type of athritis kids can get and goes away in time.

If you keep God on your side you will be fine. If something was meant to go wrong, then God would tell you and he would help prepare you and shield you from it.

Go to the doctor. A physical lasts maybe 30 minutes. It won't be long. AND God will be there to. So your not alone!

The reason we go and get physicals is to find out if we're alright. The physical won't change if you have something terminal or not. Wouldn't you rather know, so you could possibly do something about it? I don't know about you, but I would hate to end up in a worse situation just because I was afraid.

God doesn't want us to be afraid like that. As you have already stated, fear binds us and hinders us. Don't let this fear rule your life, instead kick it out and go get that physical done. Do remember to pray to God. He will give you not only strength to endure the physical, but to face everything you come across. This He has promised and this you can trust.

Beef: You are so young to concern yourself with such things. You were born dying, everyone was, it is much more important what you do with the time you have been given.

This is how the enemy works, defeating thoughts--replace them with, things like:
(repeat after me--humor me)

I am a child of the King of Kings.
I am blessed and Highly Favored.
I am more than a conqueror
My Best years are ahead
Get the behind me satan.

Say these things 3 times daily -- see you in 20 years. Be positive whenever possible (most times) its more fun.

With all of the medical technology we have today, it only makes sense to have a physical and get the proper diagnoses of whatever may be going on with our bodies. People are being saved when cancer is detected earlier, not later. Ignorance is not bliss.
