• 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

This month has been very hard month for me emotionally, I fear July will be the same. I have been having alot of flashbacks and been feeling very suicidal sadly. Last year this time I was going through some abuse as well. I wanted to pray that in this month and in July I receive healing from my trauma's mentally and physically. I still have physical ailments from my abuse. Summer is almost here and my prayer is that Summer is healing for me and that God shows his love for me this Summer deeply.

I don't know why, but several years ago I kept having flashbacks of beatings that happened when I was a kid, and these intense memories made it hard for me to sleep. The problem was solved when I entered these scenes mentally and filled them up with forgiveness and love, for the angry adult in the scene, and for the frightened kid that I was. And we were all better for it. And at night I could just drift off to sleep.

You can get to the point where you can think of a person, any person, and love just lights you up inside.

It is so hard down there isn't? I'm styruggling down that hole as well right now. It is about dropping off the bad life we took on because of the trauma and finding our good (and true) life back again in Jesus. Such is hard going I know from experience.

Faith in God's love will bring hope. The more love you internalize the stronger you be to face those demons torturing you.

Peace.

The Wicked Lying.
i know that the wicked hate me badly
that is to be expected to be true.
the real issue is that they often rule me
with their lies and trap me in their pits.

Always surrounding they cast their nets
good life to fall in the hands of bad life
to be tortured in the dungeons below
their mouths never stop speaking lies.

Wish i was no more a victim of abuse
so many years this has been going on
few care, fewer help, none deliver
yet the hurt is far too big to carry.

Malicious lies spreading fires is what i get
raging hate in return of warning of disaster
Where on earth is safety from their grasp?
My God how i wish i was deaf and blind!
