• 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

Typing this post I feel so weak. I had almost one full month of not being in all of my symptoms. Iwant to be strong. I want to report good and be able to help others that are hurting. To be honest right now I'm not strong. I'm hurting and don't have anyone friend wise to talk to. To be comforted by. I don't like to be comforted that often. The truth is that because of my up bringing I don't like touch it scares me. But right now I feel weak because I just want someone here to hold me and hug me and tell me I'm going to be ok. The doctors and counselors have asked alot. And are now in some disagreement about some stuff. One is that one of my med's has a side effect called anorexia. Something I've battled with most of my life. And because of other medical things that they have discovered they want to change my med's. I told my counselos today that I'm done with the doctors. There is just somuch going on right now in my life. I feel like a super ball bouncing and bouncing never stopping. I want my control back and to be numb again. I don't want to feel this pain or emotions. I don't know how to do this except for going back to my disorder. When I'm there I can at least some what stand myself. Right now I can't look in a mirror or pass by some thing that will cast off a reflection and I'm having a rough time coming out in public or wanting to be with people because I'm afraid they to will see the hidiness that I see. I just don't want to feel. So I guess that I could use some prayers or advice. I'm just not sure...........:help:

:hug: first sweet sister, celebrate the month you have had many things to feel blessed about. :clap: talking with you i see you are blessed. what you are going through is actually quite normal. it's a need for fellowship and encouragement. the need is to help you see your accomplishments. you think it's the disorder you want to go back to/give into, but it's not. it's the pull and feeling that it might solve some of your emptiness feelings.
let us build you up! let scripture be sealled across your heart to remove the hurts and temptaions you are exsperiancing. you aren't alone. God loves you, i love you, your son loves you, and you are of great value to your church. you are precious. http://www.christianforums.com/t2378334-you-are-gods-little-butterfly.html

:hug: a thread of encouragement you just may enjoy!

Dear Father, thank you for bring this dear sister to us. to me. she is lovely. Father, please help her to feel control to manage the struggles she is faced with daily... and to feel you in control daily. Father, help us to build her up, and provide the fellowship she needs until she is able to reach out to others in her congregation. Dear Lord, please help her keep a clear focus on getting filled with your word, and building her armor and relationship with you. Father, i ask that in her need you provide many blessings through others to build her up... and that she return these things to her son, and bless him to your glory. Father, you know everything about her, and her needs. thank you for calling us your children, and caring for us like your children. we praise and honor your will. please take our unwillingness, our willfulness, and shape us to walk in your will. thank you for being faithful and pacient, and merciful to us. in Jesus name, amen.

:hug:

I once read an analogy comparing Christian fellowship to a charcoal fire. By itself, a single bricket of charcoal will not burn. But pile it with other brickets, and they burn hot. We need each other.

The Bible also talks about Christ's church being a body consisting of many parts. In conclusion, the passage says "The parts that seem to be weaker are necessary." Another thought on the subject of weakness: The weaker we are, the more we depend on Christ who is our real strength. Think of that old hymn.

Learning to lean
Learning to lean
I'm learning to lean on Jesus
Finding more power than I ever dreamed
I'm learning to lean on Jesus

As a child I was abused at home and rejected by my peers at school. I had no friends, no one to turn to. It was then that I discovered God. Had my childhood been wonderful, I might have been so satisfied with this world that I wouldn't have looked for the next one. Thus Christ used my weakness to draw me to Him. Let Him do the same for you, and you will find tremendous strength to fight any battle.
