• 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

My brother who has hurt me a lot, just said sorry to me. Reason he said sorry was because he wanted to do it before I move countries. Just because I was moving, why couldn't of he said sorry before when I wasn't moving. I don't know how to react, I will still have flashbacks, I will still feel out of control, all the things that have come because of the abuse, don't stop because he said sorry. He is sorry that he caused me so much pain, that I tried to take my life many times, he is sorry that he didnt realise that the reason I was doing that was partly because of what he had done. But who cares anyway, I'm still a messed up 18 year old who will live with what he did for the rest of her life, yes he may think of it sometimes, but he wont be the one holding when I am hiding under blankets, he wont be the one talking to me when I am upset because something happens that reminds me of it. He isn't the one majorly affected I am, yet sorry is meant to fix, I'm sorry my brother you can go away, sorry doesn't fix a thing
