• 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.

Take it from someone who talks much like Mr. Bean. (and acts like him too). It is really a process that takes time to overcome, and practice. But it seems you're off to a good start in accepting it because you are able to laugh about it. Spend more time in Gods word. Accept who you are and accept the love of God. Recieve it.

For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:17 :clap: ...

Keep On Keeping On!



Every day thousands of thoughts come to our minds—some good, and some bad. In order for us to stay positive and healthy, we must focus on the good thoughts and let go of the bad ones. It's always such a temptation to hold on to the bad thoughts. Our minds have had so much practice operating freely that it seems we don't have to use any effort at all to think wrong or negative thoughts. The effort comes in learning to think positive thoughts.

Positive minds produce positive lives. The opposite is also true: Negative minds produce negative lives. Positive thoughts are always full of faith and hope. Negative thoughts are always full of fear and doubt, which can ultimately destroy your life. It can be very difficult to switch your way of thinking. Some people are afraid to hope because they have been hurt so much in life. They have had so many disappointments that they don't think they can face the pain of another let down. Therefore, they refuse to hope so they won't be disappointed.

Battles are fought in our minds every day. When we begin to feel that the battle of the mind is just too difficult and we are about to give up, that's when we must choose to resist negative thoughts and determine that we are going to rise above our problems and succeed. We must decide that we are not going to quit. When we are bombarded with doubts and fears, we must take a stand and say: "I will never give up! God is on my side, He loves me, and He is helping me! I am going to make it!"</I>

No matter how bad the battle rages in your mind, don't give up! You must step out and regain the territory that has been stolen from you through negative thinking. Regain it one inch at a time, if necessary, always leaning on God's grace and not upon your own ability to get the desired results. In Galatians 6:9 the Apostle Paul simply encourages us to keep on keeping on! Don't be a quitter! Don't have that old "give up" spirit. God is looking for people who will find the courage to rise above all the negative and pursue the positive.

Whatever you may be facing or experiencing right now in your life, I want to encourage you to stay positive and refuse to give up! God will be with you, and He will help you make spiritual progress—strengthening and encouraging you to "keep on keeping on" in the rough times. It's easy to quit—but it takes faith to press on through to victory.

When the battle seems endless and you think you'll never make it, remember that you are reprogramming a "worldly" mind to think as God thinks. In the same way that computers are programmed, our minds are programmed. From the time we are born, our minds are like computers that have had a lifetime of garbage programmed into them. But God, who is the best "computer programmer" around, is working on us everyday to reprogram our minds. As we cooperate with Him and allow Him to help us control our thoughts, He will "renew" our minds.

This process of reprogramming or renewing our minds will take place little by little, so don't be discouraged if progress seems slow. Don't get down when you have setbacks or bad days. Just get back up, dust yourself off and start again. When a baby is learning to walk, he falls many, many times before he develops the ability to walk without falling. However, the baby is persistent. He may cry for a while after he falls down, but he always gets right back up and tries again. Learning to change our thinking works the same way. There will be days when we don't do everything right—days when our thinking is negative. But never stop trying. God is gradually bringing us around to His way of thinking. Just don't give up!

Domi. Oh please don't be upset. Remember that God made each and every one of us different and special in his eyes. Even though other's may not see your beauty the way God does, that doesn't mean you should give up. You know, Jesus was tortured because he was "different" as well. Heh.... no one's perfect, and the only man who ever was got nailed to a cross. x_x You are so loved by your brothers and sisters in Christ, don't worry what other's think of you. Remember, pray,pray,pray, and between praying, pray. God will see you through, Domi, show him your faith.

Don't feel bad, Domi. If you think about it, nearly every one has speaking problems! Some are just worse than others. I speak clearly and normally enough, but when I was a younger child I lived in Japan so learned and spoke Japanese, but only for a year. Japanese grammar is structured better yet more confusing than English, so I actually talk backwards sometimes because that's how the Japanese do it.(Like, if I'm trying to say, "I'm going to practice my flute", I might say, "I'm practicing going to my flute".) I trip over words all the time because I was in the in between age of when you really get a solid grip on a language.(4 or 5, can't remember) I'm much better on paper, lol! Because I can see what's wrong, but I can't predict how my words will come out of my mouth. You seem like you're holding up extremely well given the circumstances. :hug: I will pray things will ease up for you, so much therapy really must be stressful!!

Anyway, you're not speaking wrong... the REST of the world is! ;)

When I was little I had a horrible lisp. I still have it to an extent but I've learned to control it for the most part. If I'm nervous or upset it tends to really come out though. I remember getting teased for it horribly, having people, even adults, asking me to say things with "S" just so my lisp would show and they'd laugh at me. that did really hurt. I understand where you're coming from. I hope God puts some people in your life who are more mature and will look past that.

I never realy get bothered with this only once in a while when it comes up but..I was talking to my friend about people with speech disibiltes and he said that even though none of the people in his sunday school class have them realy badly that they learn to accept each others problems. Which is great. But most people in my school don't learn to accept my problem and well quite frankly it hurts more then anything you can posisbly immagine. I don't know why god has done this to me put me though speech pshcial theraphy and basicly everything therapy you could immage and made me suffer this much. IT's not like I'm in a whell chair or I can't walk and thank you god for that but it's basicly because well when I talk it sounds nasel and well I guess its's easy for people to pikc on and they do. everyday. And well..I cna't take it anymore. I don't want to go to the speech and laungue patholgist she scares me and I don't want to get help at home either. But I just want them to stop harassing me. EVen if i did get help the only thing that could be fixed would be how i prounce my rs andwell realy it's not th ebig deal and it wouln't make much difference.

I don' want to deal with this anymore..I just don't.
Domi when the world picks on u rejoice in the lord because u my friend ur like gold to our heavenly father ure worth so much to him............i pray that god will give u strength to get through the days wen u are getting picked on amen ure sista in christ

People can be cruel. The sad thing is they don't even know they are being cruel.

Maybe one day people will realize the beauty of a person's heart.

Children say things for lack of knowledge and some repeat things their parents have said.

I know you have been hurt through the years but now you are grown and you know the love of God.

I pray you find the courage to continue on with your speech thearpy and learn what is really inportant in life. You will be able to comfort others with problems because you have been through them.

Besides, I think you are just a little charmer.

May God bless you and make your heart merry.
