• 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've been under more stress than I can imagine this week and I will try not to make this TMI but the ideal way right now for me to relieve that stress is to have "contact" with someone of the opposite gender and I know I'd feel less overwhelmed and more relaxed if I had this but needless to say such "contact" is nowhere in sight and it's driving me nuts. I wish I didn't have to suffer like this; being lonely is just wrong, and friendship is critical but that's not enough :cry:

When Jesus went with his disciples to Gethsemane he said to them, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."
Later he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?" he asked Peter. "Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

He was in need of them for one hour yet they let him down and they slept.

The lord knows and he feels your feelings and he shared everything with us except sin so this is his promise to you:

...for it is the Lord your God who goes with you. He will not leave you or forsake you. Deuteronomy 31:6

...because God has said, "Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you." Hebrews 13:5

In the name of the Lord our savior we pray.

God and Lord, patron on my heart, i complain to you this feeling that pains me, weakens me and saddens me the sense of loneliness. Give me Lord to see you as a friend, a fair lover, a good company and heal my wounds.

Amen.

Your signature is great, keep on that.

The best thing to do is to bring your stress to Jesus and let His love over you unwind you. There are so many things you can thank Jesus for try and focus on that.

Communion with Jesus brings peace and rest in our hearts

He is awesome:amen:

Hoping you feel a bit better soon:hug:
