• 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.

Andrea, Ive been to a shrink several times when I have had emotional problems etc. I have suffered from depression and anxiety and have found myself with one foot stuck in the past in things that happend years ago that I am still struggling with.

I found it helpful in one respect, he helped me put my finger on what the problem was. and I found it wasnt actually what I was struggling with NOW it was something from my childhood that was affecting the way I interpreted the present situation. However, he couldnt do anything for me to solve the problem... For that I went for christian councelling, people talking thru my issues and praying for God to heal me, it was wonderful, It helped me move on and have peace about the past, it healed a lot of hurts and changed the way I live now. Only God can do that well.

I went to a place called ELLEL MINISTRIES for my christian counselling because it was a residential course. There is one in canada, in orangeville near toronto, but that might be miles away from you for all I know, so, the best place to try is one of your local churches, if they dont do this sort of thing at your church, you can try another one, without feeling you have betrayed them in any way. we are all part of the body after all. Actually you might find that easier, because of you remain anonymous to a cirtain extent.

Is that what you were asking for? I wasnt entirely sure, sorry if I got the wrong end of the stick.
