• 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

if i was saved i would love God and i would see suffering worth it to live for Jesus. i just cant adopt a positive attitude :(. i just watched a video about Nick Vuljivic who was born with no arms or legs and how he decided to give his life to Christ and be thankful regardless of his circumstances. im not strong enough to do that :'(. i have a horrible outlook on life. i see the hate, evil, and pain in life. my mind is always on negativity. it hurts too much to change. i am ugly, i feel ugly, maybe i am ugly. i have my arms and legs, but yet i hate life because i just dont see any point in it, i dont see myself getting better and being happy again. i dont remember the last time i was truly happy overall.
i need help and prayers. im a loser for not being able to change and belive God when he other people with far worse situations have :cry: :sigh: :(
my life may not seem tough to others but i live with pain that comes and goes every day.

You are very hard on yourself. Try practicing positive affirmations on yourself. You are a good person is a good start for you. Look for the positive in everything. I know this is tremendously hard when depressed but it will help you get over the depression. Life is worth living and you have lots of hope and Jesus loves you. Saying prayers for you.

so yeah, I believe Jesus is God, and heaven is a gift, and trust him to have taken my hell for me. but I want to feel more safe. It is hard to accept a life of loving others when we don't feel happy or loved ourselves. it is like trying to listen to someone when you have a bad toothache.
