• 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.

I don't know if people are happy to do this, or if this is appropriate. Basically, all you do is say how you feel. I have found this on other forums, and found that it can really help us by supporting each other with words of comfort, etc. If people aren't happy to do this then i'll understand. I'll start...

:( I'm very tearful at the moment.

I feel sad. Some loved ones are ill, and my God Mother just died. She was a great Aunt to me and treated me like a special God daughter.

She loved greatly. A women of courage and giving and love.
She will be missed, but she is also "home".
I am so sorry you lost your godmother. I lost my grandmother in July. She was very good to me throughout my whole life. It's hard to say goodbye. It is a comfort to know that you will see her again in heaven, though.

Hugs to all of you.

My feelings are mixed. I am still in mourning for the Crocodile Hunter, which some people may call silly, but I don't think it is. But I've also just got a new kitten, and I'm happy about that.
I don't think you're silly. When I heard that he died, I cried my head off for a half hour. He had a special place in my heart. I always enjoyed seeing him on tv and I bought his movie for my sons but I watched it a couple of times, too. And how many times did I bust out laughing when he did those fed-ex commercials! (where the anti-venom didn't arrive on time)

Steve reminded me of my middle son who was the hardest for me to love because he's so unconventional and so opposite of me. Talk about thinking outside the box- my son is like, "What box?" Anyway because of the extra work it took to appreciate my son and accept him for who he is, and because Steve Irwin reminded me of my son, I loved him and appreciated him, and not only that but I admired Steve and was attracted to his energy, passion and vivacious approach to life.

It is so very sad for his wife and children. We just never know when our last day will be.

Yes, mourning takes awhile. I'm still so sad about my God Mother.

I have just been spending some alone time thinking about her and remembering all the wonderful times we had together.

Thank you all for you thoughtful words.

Hugs back to you all!

Recurring nightmares, tons of stress, not sleeping much...can't even cry. I think I have broken the emotive side of myself, except anger. I broke a bone in my hand a while back by "supressing" my sadness into a locker my senior year of high school.

I'm sorry to hear that you are not sleeping well. Lack of sleep doesn't help when you want to express how you feel. Have a hot chocolate before you go to bed.

I was feeling rather anxious about going to bring something to my mother and possibly being abused verbally by her, but I prayed that God would use a great big angel to shut her mouth, so I'm just resting on that at that moment.
FallingWaters, I pray that God will soften your mums heart when you speak to her. Hope it goes well.

I chickened out from therapy - my anxiety levels were sky high and making it very hard to leave the house by myself ... i'd barely slept so i rung up and cancelled and then tried to go back to sleep ... it was so not cool. I'm coming to the conclusion that i need some form of anxiety meds so i can at least function. It doesn't help that my perp lives in the same suburb and i can see him up to 4 times in the same week.

I have a law assignment due which i can't concentrate on at all atm so yes ... life is hard but God is so much better then all of this
