• 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 have been Blessed in meeting a very special young lady. :) One that like most of us has struggles and hurts. :( We have Si in common. I haven't done this since November of 2005. So it's easy to relate to her. How ever I'm not sure that I'm helping. I listen, I comfort, I pray.:prayer: I share my story with her. Letting her know where it took me. And tell her that this isn't the way to get into Heaven. That when we go to Heaven it need's to not be because of our own doing do we can look God or Jesus in the eyes and say I'm home. Am I doing enough? Is there something that I'm missing? If there is can some one tell me so I can help even more? :prayer: Thank You:prayer:

Dear Daysoni,

You are doing everything you can do. Be there for her when she needs an ear to listen, pray for her, comfort her. That is all you can do... really though, the rest is her choice and she needs to figure that out alone. No one can help her with that. Lily00:angel: :hug:

Daysoni, you are doing all you can do. Keep praying and I'm sure you are doing a lot more than you know. It can be discouraging when you don't see the results of your work, but just because you can't see it doesn't mean you aren't helping.
