• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

How was your day?

dead exhausted today, as the emotional toll of cleaning up after years of neglect is pretty huge....

for example, I've got a lot of old make up I have to get rid of, but it has ties to my former hubby. Its just been lying there, getting old and needed to be thrown out.

I just stopped living and didn't care about anything any more, at least not like this kind of stuff.

so going through and getting rid of worn out purses and shoes, old clothing...its more emotional that I ever thought!

mostly, hard emotional work lately, plus physical pain too, makes for slow days of cleaning and sorting and then resting a lot....as well as just letting the tears come flowing...

Not a good day for me. I accidentally wore the wrong shoes to work today, and didn't notice until the boss pointed it out to me. On top of it, it's now obvious that the new bank card I got on Monday isn't working any better than the old one I got replaced. :(

Pretty decent Thanksgiving.. spent most of the day @ the in-laws, now at home watching tail-end of the Redskins game.
Unfortunately did learn that a nephew of mine is suffering from some mental anguish. It's hard seeing a young, honorable man going thru a new, difficult affliction.

How did this Thanksgiving treat other CF members (?)

My day was alright. Treated myself to a Starbucks for all the trouble I've been through this past week. Went to Billings, hung out with my parents. Rediscovered a song I used to like, made me cry, so I bought it because I still like it. Write about 100 words in my book.
