• 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

I love you!

Hey... I know I don't know any of you, but you're all my family in Christ, and I love you... So does He!

Anyway... I used to SI, and I tried a couple of times to kill myself. Obviously, it didn't work; I'm still here. And you know why? Because God has amazing plans for me...

It's the same for every one of us. Have you ever wondered why you don't cut deep enough to kill yourself? It's not through a lack of wanting to - it's because God has much better plans for you than SI and He is watching over you, keeping you safe.

Each one of my scars is a reminder to me of what God has done for me. They remind me what He has brought me through, they show His awesome power, and they remind me of one simple, but life-changing fact... At His death, Jesus was cut up, so that I wouldn't have to be.

One thing I want to say though... I am not trying to condemn anyone who SI's... I used to do it too. I know what can drive you to it, and how you feel you have to do it, even when you know you shouldn't. It was only through complete reliance on God that I was able to come out the other side of my battle.
If anyone wants to talk, I'm here for you. I'll be as helpful as I can, or I can just pray... I feel that it is part of my calling to help those who are suffering in the ways which I myself have suffered. The only way to understand the reasons behind SI is to have done it, and I have.

I love you all. Take care :hug:
