• 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

I tend to want to cry on Christmas eve because I feel everyone has joy but me. Okay my life is not as bad as I make it seem but I do get lonely being alone and having everyone with eachother,family,etc

this is the worst time of year to go through a break up which I have been experiencing.

I just don't want Christmas to come.:cry:

It is hard at this time of year. Especially when you're feeling down.
I'll be on here too Christmas Eve. I'll chat if you want.
I feel like this every year. I don't know exactly how you feel, but i have an idea.
Caring for your peace,
Chuck.

I too am going through a break-up, and I know that it hurts so much to go through this during the holidays. I've been off antidepressants for over six months and had been doing well, but with the break-up I've been struggling so hard not to fall right back into the abyss. Most of the time I just want everyone to leave me alone so I can grieve in my own way without hurting anyone. But at the same time, I want so desperately to not be alone because it hurts so much.

I'm working at Bath and Body Works for the holidays, and I can't even tell you how much I just want to scream "BAH HUMBUG" and walk out the door when I wait on customers who are so happy buying presents for their girlfriends/wives.

Break-ups are the worst. I'm having these feelings that I don't want to have and not feeling like myself at all. I feel your pain and I pray God will comfort you this season. Perhaps this will help you as it does me, but I just keep reminding myself that the whole point of Christmas was that God sent His Son to earth not only to save sinners, but so that we would never have to be alone. As much as I may feel lonely because I miss my ex, I know that I am not alone because Christ is with me.
