• 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

  • The rule regarding AI content has been updated. The rule now rules as follows:

    Be sure to credit AI when copying and pasting AI sources. Link to the site of the AI search, just like linking to an article.

I'm doing a bit better. I'm starting to be able to do little chores around the house. My pulled thigh muscle is just about healed, but my back lets me know in no uncertain terms when it doesn't want me to do any more. Unfortunately, it doesn't allow me to do very much before it blows the whistle.

Ariel, you're an inspiration to me. :hug:

I wish I could go back to when I was tiny and my mama was there for me and trustworthy.

I'd like to be able to talk to someone, I don't really feel comfortable PMing someone I don't "know" here out of the blue. I don't feel comfortable sharing much of my story in a public place online either.

Having a battle with depression. Today it's really, really, really bad. I've been fighting off SI thoughts, although please understand I have no intention of acting on them. Just the thoughts themselves can be very troubling, though.

No situational reason. Could be related to PMS and/or perimenopause.
