• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

There are certain times when I smell something horrible which usually last for hours (over 7 hours or more) within a day or more than a day. It is an extremely bad noticeable smell, like herbs mixed with oil and something else. It cannot be ignored and it is not a smell that I normally smell. I have smelt this around Christmas and other times randomly. God told me that I shouldn't celebrate Christmas anymore so I have not for the past 3 years.

On Wednesday of this week I began to smell the same awful thing again which lasted for hours.

It could be a hallucination , it could be a real smell , ask someone else if they smell it and if they do try to locate the source. I’ve got mice in my building and every once in a while, one will die and it smells like really nasty spoiled cabbage mixed with dead fish.

Seers have the gift of discernment. Their spiritual senses mix with the natural. In the Garden of Eden it was a normal thing, but it was lost after the fall. On these last days that gift is increasing. Based on your other posts I can tell you have that gift but are not mature in it.

Jennifer Eivaz explains the gift of discernment.

some people have a stronger sense of smell than others
and women often have better sense of smell than men

I can smell things first before husband and child
once we were driving on hwy and said "I smell hotdogs"
no one else could
few miles up the hwy, we drove past a place selling them

another time, I came home and said, I smell something burnt, no one else could
turns out husband had made one tiny little test hole in a piece of wood.....so I smelled that burnt wood

@waves
you have sensitive nose same as me

You sound a lot like my maternal grandmother. I swear she had a better nose than any blood hound.

Sometimes you can get like smell memories coming back like flashbacks if you have trauma stuff going on . Or your sensory functions can go a bit haywire when you're under stress. Or there is a chemical or set of chemicals you're sensitive to and notice more strongly than other people.
