• 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

Hey I'm Christina and I have been thru every type of abuse there is.Physical abuse,sexual abuse,and emotional abuse.I've been molested as a child of 5,and raped as a teen many times.I was beaten as a child by my step-dad many many times and told I would never be anything and I was no good by my mom.I have survived it all through the grace of God.There were times I thought I'd die and there were times where I wanted to die,but I survived and now I'm a strong woman.Abuse started at age 5 and continued till I was 15.The rapes were well some of them after then.I believe that which does not kill you makes you stronger.I am now very strong and I wanna help others like me.It messed me up mentally and I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 13 and hospitalized alot for self mutilation and suicide attemps.I was helped after a long time and with medication but thru it all I am a survivor.I am now studying mental health b/c I wanna give back and help others like me.Abuse leads to other abuse eg. abusing drugs and alcohol.I was there at one time.Drugs and alcohol make you feel happy at the time so u keep it up but u know what? Later it only brings more problems so if u r using drugs and alcohol to make u feel numb or if u r even thinking about it know that at some point it will only create more problems.Really think about that.You can survive anything the right way if u choose 2.I hope this piece I have written can help someone cuz if I only help 1 person it was worth writting it.

Many Blessings,
Christina
