• 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

HI Dabro,
Sorry you're spiking. It does feel awful when the anxiety is raging... and I always felt like I was going crazy... or already might be.
I know this is hard but try to live in the moment. Don't let this event cause you to start worrying whether you're getting worse or not. Coming back from a really bad OCD flare is a one step forward two steps back kind of thing. Progress can only be measured over the long haul. Bad days come and go... the good thing is that they go.
I'm praying for you.

Praying for you. I've been in that situation many times. The fear & anxiety can make you feel like you are losing your mind but remember it's just the brain chemicals & stress hormones rising that make you feel that way. If we were really crazy we probably wouldn't know it or worry about it, is what I've always thought. Praying that your fear goes away quickly & that you feel better soon.

Dabro you are safe in the hands of Jesus and Jesus is protecting you.He will never let you go and He will never leave you or forsake you.

Psalm 139


1O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.

2Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

3Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.

4For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

11If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.

12Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.

13For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.

14I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

15My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.

16Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

18If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee.
19Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.
20For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
21Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee?
22I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies.
23Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: 24And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting

Luke 8: 48 And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: they faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.

The woman with blood issues. All she wanted to do was touch the hem of his garment. And he noticed her pain through the crowd. And he notices yours in this world. You are not forgotten. Keep praying and reading in the word. He has made a way so you can bear it, so we call can bear it, because we're all still here. It gets rough sometimes but know that you're not alone and Christ is on your side. Hold on okay. =]

It's amazing what your Faith can do - even at those times when you are in desperate need and you're not to sure about what to do or think. The one thing that always remains strong is my Faith, and taking that leap to put all your trust in Him that He will make things right.

HI Dabro,
Bummer!! (Does that date me?) I've had mine out and so have some of the younger members of my family. Surgery went well for all of us. The only problem I had was that I felt so good the day after my surgery that I wanted to get right back at it. I over did it.
I'll be praying for you that all will go well with your surgery and recovery period.
Check in with us afterward so we know how you're doing.
Praying!

Yep... thanks for clarifying. "Bummer" was a "cool" word we used in the 70's. Not that I was cool. Oh.. I wanted to be, but I could barely talk to the uncool kids let alone the cool ones. :)
Mitzi
I think she meant using the word "bummer" might "date" her to a certain era. :)
