• 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 have been hurtful to myself in different ways. These ways changed overtime. Once I found the Lord, I started healing. Episodes began to get further and further apart. They are still getting further apart.

I learned that my thingking (I think unconsciously) is a trigger. I learned that being aware of my thoughts I could pin point my triggers and stay away from those thoughts. I was taught that feelings don't always mean fact. Sometimes I might feel afraid but I really had nothing to be afraid of. I have Jesus. The Lord is my shepard and I will not want nor fear.

Thoughts triggered feelings of pain that triggered an episode. Before I found the Lord, I really didn't know how to get the pain out. I found Jesus and I could let it all out to him with no shame. Such a cleansing. Now when I feel emotional pain I am learning to sit with it because I have grown strong in Jesus. I try hard to stay present in the Lord. It's like falling in love with someone and they are on your mind. That is what I strive for in Jesus. Standing in His presence all the time. When I run into conflicts at work, I start looking for crosses in the ceilings of the buildings, or in the walls of the buildings, or on the ground. Look for the cross right now where ever you are. How many crosses do you see. Jesus is everywhere, He is in me, He is outside of me, He is in front of me, beside me, and behind me. I will not fear cuz I chose Jesus. I will not fear because I believe in my Lord.

Faith can move mountains. Where there is faith there is healing.

God bless each and every one of you. Never give up. Victory is in Jesus.:amen:
