• 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

As some of you know, I recently posted in this forum regarding a soulmate who dumped me. I described how depressed I am. But something keeps bothering me. I know there are people out there that have WAY worse problems then me. I have a good job, a roof over my head, food on the table, all of my limbs, etc. But still, I feel depressed and sad and loney and feel like dieing over something so seamingly insignificant. Am I just being selfish? I really do care for other people and realize I'm in much better shape than a lot of people, but still, this breakup is just killing me.

it is this humility and compassion for others that will allow the void in your life to be filled by a soulmate. Become involved in serving others... you reap what you sow... and community groups are great places to meet caring and compassionate others.

We often try and rate our own issues in relation to those of others but the truth is that things happen and they hurt. Often the way we view them will seem less than someone else but that doesn't change what is going on inside of us.
Selfish - No
Hurting - yes
Hold on to life - it is the only one you have
I will be praying for you
