• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Hello @Jesuslove70708, if you understand and are careful to follow all of the dictates (commands) that are found in this verse prior to speaking, then you will never again need to worry about what you say :)

Ephesians 4
29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification, according to the need of the moment, that it may give grace to those who hear.

God bless you!

--David
p.s. - I believe that this advice from missionary Amy Carmichael is worth keeping in the forefront of your mind as well.

Join the club ….many people do it.

Some to a greater degree than others …some do when nervous … or intense situations….sometimes it’s overthinking a convo and not putting the word in the correct order or using wrong words.

Many times, the brain is working faster than the mouth…. and the words get rearranged …Slow the mind down a bit get peaceful. And try not to be self-conscious …it makes it worse.

Me …I open my mouth and the words come out …then I kick myself later

Be slow to speak, quick to listen, quick to forgive.
A well timed comment is like apples of gold in settings of silver.
A fool says everything on his mind and every emotion., just to say we can have self control and choose what we say if we think about it. On my second try of being a Christian I said I don’t have to talk so much because I’m always saying dumb stuff. So I didn’t and my mind slowed down because of God and Gods people and got together. I am talking a little more now, but I still take thoughts captive.
