• 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

I really had to let go today.
I hit rock bottom, and God offered to help me out of it - He just wanted me to ask for it :S
When I did... He bailed me out, and I'm just starting to realise how good His promise is for me.

Thing is, I also realise how much I still cling to, and that it's got to go, or it will remain between us.

I still think of myself as some sort of freak; I'm just not the same as everybody else, I don't fit in. I feel that nobody in the world gets me. I have to realise that we have a high priest who perfectly understands our struggles, and to open up to Him about it... I'm being a wuss about it though.

Don't worry you are not alone. Sometimes I feel if no one cares about me and that I don't fit in anywhere. Somedays are worse than others. God loves you just the way you are and knows where you are coming from and where you are headed. He knows everything about you and just plain loves you. Someday we are all going to be in heaven! This thought alone can bring me comfort. All the sorrows, the aches, the pains, the low self-confidence, is just going to melt away some day and we are all going to live in his sonshine. :hug:
