• 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

Then why are people punishing me????????

Lifewanderer, you might like to go to your safe place. The angels are there, and they will look after you, until you feel ready to return.

Peace be with you.

Thank you Catherineanne.

:wave:

I just noticed your tag line; 'Now what do I do?'

I read this quotation from St Francis of Assisi on a calendar;

"Start by doing what's necessary, then do what's possible, and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

That is what I am going to try to do this year. Bit by bit.

I know I should've said yes, but I was too scared and said no and hid. I wanted that so much and now today when somebody was there I refused it. I wish I wasn't scared.

You are right to say no if you want to. Next time you can say yes if you want to. You get to choose, and you cannot make the wrong choice, as long as you make it, for you.

Take care, Lifewanderer. :wave:

How are you today, Lifewanderer?

I go through my posts and delete them sometimes. Usually when I am feeling very afraid, and far too visible. And visible people end up getting hurt, don't they?

If you are hiding, that is ok. Keep safe. :wave:
