• 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

That's great Kath.

I'm really frustrated. Tomorrow will be 5 weeks since I last self harmed and I thought that was great too until I got thinking how most people don't even wanna hurt themselves. Today I walked to the library and bank all by myself, didn't even ask for a ride. I don't remember the last time I left the house on my own. I felt like I'd made some great accomplishment... then I got thinking how many people younger than me are driving places much further away than my library. I don't even have my license and I'm 25 years old. Everyone I went to school with passed me nearly 7 years ago and are done with college and I'm still figuring myself out.
I'm tired of being spaced out and anxious all the time. I hate being like this. I need a break. I wanna be normal.
If anyone even knows what normal is can they please tell me?

aw *hugs*
im..not sure what normal is. i think its like when you are level most of the time. and you dont have those really bad thoughts or anything.
everyone has a different way of coping with things, and SI was your way. dont worry about other people. just focus on yourself.:hug:

Hello everyone!

Big :hug: 's to you all. I'm sorry I've not been around for a week. I have really missed being here for you all.

I'm back anyway...and I wish I wasn't. I really enjoyed myself so much not having any worries...I really didn't want to come back. I even went into work today for a couple of hours - on a Sunday as well. I hate it so much. It's getting me down already and I've only been back less than 24 hours! :(

I know. I am already in the process of doing this. It's a pain though finding another job, especially when I have been with this company for over 3 years! Doesn't seem to count for much though.

im depressed. and not looking forward to tomorrow at all.

I know the idea of Monday Morning can seem a bit especially daunting sometimes, (hey, I know it does for me sometimes!) but there are lots of people who care for you, here, and elsewhere, and God cares for you
:) :) and wants you to be happy.
And If you want to talk about it some more, then feel free.... :D (Pm me or talk here...)
