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.
I can't do this....

Thanks Girls!
It's not my psych that doesn't think inpatient the right thing for me...it's just my regular doctor (my GP)....he knows me VERY well....I've had shrinks too that i wonder about...actually i had one psychiatrist before i started my psych degree (like when i was still at school)...and i had him diagnosed...he was soooo creepy...i hated him so much so it took 4yrs before i would see someone else!!!
My psych, even though she drives me crazy at times...she thinks that all this stuff that i've been through will make me a great psych....especially with children which is who i want to work with.
But anyway, i'm turning over a new leaf today...my "mum" (actually a minister at church and very best friend) gave me a good kick in the backside and i'm now making some changes. Firstly, i'm not going to hate myself because i am fearfully and wonderfully made by Almighty God...that's just the first one...must go and write thesis...due today...arghhh!
Luv CA

Do you really wanna be a psych? That's great if you do...when are you going back to uni? i hate all the study...but it'll be worth it in the end! One more year (5th year) until i can practice and then, well, there's the masters, doctorate etc.....but i'd do anything to be able to help others.

Yeah, I'm hoping to start taking some courses this spring though it's starting to get late so maybe fall... I probably should get my head straightened a bit first too so I'll actually be up to getting to all my classes. It's only been this past year that I've figured out what I wanna do with myself, help people like me. It's taken 24-25 years to figure that out so I figure waiting a couple more months before getting back to school won't hurt. It'll take a while and be a lot of work but I agree it'll be worth it. Plus a friend often tells me that they need more women psychologists...

That's really GREAT....Here in Aust, we have quite a few female psych's...but what's needed is a lot of psychologists who are Christians (not Christian Psychologists...if you kind of get what i mean)...I think the love and care that comes with being a Christian is something that's really needed in what is becoming an increasingly "clinical" field...you know...like you have X disorder and treatment F will fix it! People need to be shown that they matter...even if they don't come to know God...but that would be great...

this is a post by Krysstian that helped me a lot
Why Me?
I know this thought may have crossed your mind every time you think about the horror youve endured. Wondering why someone could be so evil to destroy your heart and to misuse your body. Every second of pain you feel creates an eternity of hatred towards the man who took advantage of what is precious to you. You may feel empty, unloved, or oppressed. You may feel so horrible to the point you never knew you could be in this amount of sorrowfulness. Just imagine, how many children, young girl, and women feel?
When it happened to me I never knew that I would witness so much torment. I was at the ages of 5,6,9, 12, 15, 17 and 19. When it happened I asked God, WHYYY? WHYYY did this happended to me? I went through the point of blaming myself and hating myself to let this happened.
Im 21 now and God answered me. He wanted me to reveal it to others. You may not believe this but its only for those who do believe. I know a simple They were just bad people is not good enough. It took me a lot of prayer, forgiving, and loving to get to where I am at today. The enemy will still try to get you to live in the past but dont let that discourage you.
God told me It happened because Satan wanted to destroy you. You were meant to change millions. At first I was like WHAT? Millions impossible. Then I thought about that movie Pay it Forward, When the kid dedicated doing really nice things for three people and they would have to do it for another set of three. Dominoe effect! You will be surprise by showing love you can change millions. I know I can, and I know you can because you were meant to change millions, like Mother Teresa. Her love inspired ma ny people.
You are beautiful, intelligent, extraordinary, and your are full of the gifts of God that very few posses. You might not think I know you but dont let bitterness destroy your beauty. I know your beautiful inside out and Satan hated you because he knew that youre a powerful woman of Christ.
Those who did this to you, love them. Its hard too but pray for God to change your heart and He will. The people who hurt you, was hurting immensely. Pray for their salvation, pray for those who went through the pain too, and believe in God to heal your wounds. He will, because He needs you just as much as you need Him. He made you for His purpose and He needs you.
Satan thinks he destroyed you but prove him wrong.

It is understandable that you would feel that way. Lots of people do. My relationship with God has pulled me through my recovery process. In fact, if it wasn't for God motivating me to be healed so I can be a better person and be more like Jesus, I wouldn't face my pain at all.
