• 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

This past week has been really hard for me and i have to be doing something because whenever i'm alone, at night, it all comes back to me.... my dad telling me i'm stupid and wrothless, my close friend at the time telling me i'm the most selfish least self sacraficing person i know.... a whole bunch of pastors telling me the exact same things.... i can't take it! i want their voices and faces to get out of my head and i pray and it still won't make them go away! the only thing that can make the emotional pain go away is the physical! and like, my friend megan and her boyfriend matt don't want me to cut and have made me promise to stop myself from cutting for them, but i can't stop for them, i have to stop for myself. and sometimes i don't really want to stop myself but i feel i have to because they want me to... i feel forced to stop. which makes me not want to stop, if you know what i mean.
i know i can talk to my friends, but they can't always be there every second. it hurts themt hat i don't talk to them first, but they can't always be around, and i want to stop for myself not for them, i mean, i love them....

and i can't stand it; i hate remembering everything....

and i don't know how else to make the pain go away.
if you could pray for me, i'd appreciate it.
