• 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 know exactly what you're talking about diva. The closer I get to God the more I realize that this is really all about loving God first and then loving your neighbor. We live in a dying world. Really. I wish there was another way, but there just isn't. This is just life. I love to write...lol Anyways, I get so tired of this! lol, But God never closes one door without opening another...and that's the fun part. Knowing that there's more ahead of you if you give Him the time He needs. "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life." He's the only way we'll ever overcome anything. I think by staying together (in a church, groups, communities, forums, whatever) it makes it a little easier. I don't think that that means that we are to just become completely dependent on other people...of course we are, but we must first be dependent on God. Sometimes it's hard to persevere, sometimes it's hard to do the things we don't want to do, but that's just the way it is, and the great thing to know is that it gets easier. The closer you get to God, the easier it gets. And then I think there comes a point where you just don't care, then it gets really fun...lol There came a point in my life where I just got tired of all the "fun" and was ready to get down to business. We all experience something like that at times in our life. Most of my early life I spent thinking things like "This too shall pass" and just doing my best to get through things...I always did. Then things began to slow down, and it got easier. But, when that happens, you have to be careful to hold on to what you have, or it can be easily taken away from you...or you can be deceived. The important thing is to stay with it...forever...take what comes your way, and always lean on God's promises. He'll always bring you through!!! No matter how tough it gets.

YEP. I can totally relate. That's what I've been fighting really hard for almost a year and a half straight, now... and before then, although it wasn't quite as severe most of the time... but yeah, I get sick of trying sometimes.

What I do is I tell God, I can't do this. You do it for me. Let me have a break, let me sleep and such... and provide stuff for me. I don't have the strength to keep trying... so You have to try for me and let me have rest. I also scream at God sometimes, lol He wants us to be real with Him... and it's much better to express all my feelings rather than hold them in and be doing far worse later on. He's big enough... He can take it.

It's still difficult, but it's at least kept me (somewhat) sane.
