• 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

I'm too exhausted to talk about it. I used to have joy. I used to be alive. But now I'm drowning over something so irrational that it brings me shame and embarassment. Something must be wrong with me.

How can something so irrational bring fear and depression?

If you can spare a moment, please pray for me.

It is odd the things we will obsess and trip up over... they may seem to be trivial, yet we are unable to shake the feeling of guilt, embarassment, etc.

It may be because we are too hard on ourselves.
God forgives all and loves regardless.

Will pray for you. <3

Of course, sister.

Try not to worry, Christ has already won.

edit: also, I remember you. You were very kind to me, and several others as well. You have every right to be kind and forgiving towards yourself as well.

Thank you Winter for praying for me and other brothers and sisters here - the prayer of the righteous is very powerful the Word teaches and love for our neighbour is certainly part of being righteous according to the bible.

It is very good to have you back and I hope you will find much support and comfort here.
