• 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

:groupray: :hug: :groupray:

10 days is the longest you've been- that's good.
Now you've something new to aim for!!
Slips happen, all you can do is pick yourself up and try again.
One day, you'll go 11, 12 and even longer, but like a baby learning to walk, it may take a bit of time.
Hugs and prayers going up for you!

You took 10 steps forward and one step backward. You didn't fail, you've made progress. It's a hard fight, so feel good with yourself that you went such a chunk of time without doing it. Take a deep breath and challenge yourself to go longer next time. Remember that His mercies are new every morning.

He who began the good work in you will be faithful to complete it.

If the struggle you're facing
Is slowly replacing your hope with despair
Or the process is long
And you're losing your song in the night
You can be sure that the Lord has His hand on you
Safe and secure He will never abandon you
You are His treasure and He finds His pleasure in you

I agree with the others - I am encouraged by hearing you made it 10 days! In my own struggles, I had many times where I couldn't even make it a day. But then one day, you find that you've made it 11 days, and that's a victory worth celebrating!

Remember, though, this is a one day at a time mindset. Each day, just talk with Jesus about making it through that day. That's all that will matter in the end. And don't forget to keep us up to date with your victories.

God bless. :pray:
