• 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.

I am writing cause latelly i have been tested in many ways. I am dealing with alot of closed door in my life and right now i don't know what to do.. I am on the verge of lossing my kids and my sanity.. I am siiting the children's hospital waiting for a sign from god.. I had to come here all the way from california for my daughter to get surgery.. She is 9 years old and has cancer. I am trying to keep from crying and keep strong for my kids.. I am stuck here in wilmington, delaware. A million miles away from home. My car blew up and my husband has been trying to find a way back home. I contacted so many churches and agencies... But many of the shut the door in my face and reffered me to a homeless shelter and my daughter is to sick to go there... I am trying to get the money together to get us home but it looks like i might spend the night in the day room.. I pray that somethimg happens.. So many people abuse the kindness of others that no one wants to lend out a helping hand.. Even the churches here are that way.. It's ashame. i was even crying to the chaplain here about my troubles and he prayed with me... I am so stressed and don't know where to turn.. Please god don't let me lose my faith and strength and my family all in one week.......

Gosh... I can't imagine what your going through. I've had so many times when I've doubted God because my parents came home drunk or high another night or because I got kicked out agian because I missed a spot vacuming. God really has tested me. This is a test for you. God knows your a strong woman. He knows you can push through and make it. Right now the only advice I can give you is cling to God. Hold tight and never let go. I know this has to be incridably hard.One of a mothers worse fears is not being able to help her child when its in need.

So for now keep praying. Keep seeking God. Keep on keeping on. God will provide a way.

Also... I don't know how low you are on money but can you find a cheap hotel room for a couple of nights? I don't know what else to offer. Maybe a family member can loan you money.



I'm praying for you!
Sarah
