• 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

How are you feeling? **Trigger**

Today, I am sort of just here again. I'm very tired, but I cannot seem to identify any of my emotions (this happens from time to time).

I feel like hugging someone. Here, everyone. *hugs* :hug:
Don't worry about feeling like...it's quite normal, especially if we are tired.

Welcome, by the way. I see you are new here. There are loads of friends on here that you haven't met yet...no-one's a stranger!

Thanks for the hugs! ;)

so depressed that words can't even explain it...the only way i know how to explain it is by cutting but i can't do that...so i'll just have to deal with the feelings
CA, glad to hear that you are not cutting yourself. Try and hang in there. Sorry I've not been around for a while...not been too great myself, but hey, that's life. But, we must still go on. God is by your side.

How am I feeling? Hmm . . . I feel confused. Somewhat angry, somewat hurt, and sort of just . . . here. I'm tired more than anything. About a week ago, one of my two best friends basically told me that I mean little to him and he only lets me talk about my struggles (abuse from father, mainly) because he feels obligated to. Last night, I told him that I think we should take some time apart for a while, and he didn't seem to care. He just said, "as you wish." I cried, and I rarely cry. (Sorry if that was too much info; I just sort of needed to get it all out.)
Don't worry about saying too much...we are all here to support each other and help each other out. We are here because we have a fair idea of what we all go through and why we go through it. Try not to worry about this "friend" of yours. I wouldn't really call him much of a friend if he reacts like this.

Mmmmmm...chinese...sounds great. Hope you enjoy it.
:) Went good. Hung out with my Mom and sisters and had some really good Chinese food.
It's so nice to not be sick anymore. It's good to be able to eat your fill and not feel ill afterwards.

I feel afraid and like I need to cry. I had to go get ice cream with my father (no one else would go and I felt guilty because if I didn't go, no one would get ice cream). Now, I want to throw up so much. I think my anger is making me sick.

Thanks. I like it here. :) Aside from my best friend, I don't really have anyone to talk to about these things. For most people, it's really awkward to talk about things they don't understand. She understands because her mom is like my father, only minus the alcohol addiction.

I'm not looking forward to work tomorrow. I feel so sick in the mornings at the moment because I so scared of what is to happen at work. I nearly chucked up on Thursday because I was so worried. :(

I'm sorry. That sounds awful. I hope you feel better.

That sounds great. I know that feeling ill after eating feeling. I ussually get it when I am going out for a meal. I get quite nervous eating in front of people for some reason and feel really sick and I don't eat much.

I was a bit nervous that I'd wind up getting sick at the restaurant... but it all went fine.
