• 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.

I have a question...especially for the fellows

One of the things we did in our singles group was to go on "practice dates" with each other this way when the real thing camealong it wasn't too bad.. I know this sort of thing won't fly at most churches but I think the princapla is sound... (what are we doing till marriage anyway right?)
but like i was saying go and "practice" interacting with FEMALE friends and relitives "remember the practice part" Ask them to grade you and to be critical of what your doing, to help you to throw up as few "red flags" as possiable. when it's time for the "Big" date.
and when your ready try with strangers, sign up for for a good christian dating site and go out on the town, meet people, go to dinner, or walks anything where you can pratice talking and being sociable... So long as your up front about what your doing no harm no foul. Remember you don't have to love like or even enjoy there company... you're helping yourself out of your own hole. Just make sure you tell whom ever your with what's going on. (baby steps)
