• 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 had a real great week. :) I got to spend it with a friend and her family that I ment from the forums.:wave: She's become like a sister. :clap: I was excited to come home even though where I'm at isn't my home. I've done pretty good with my ED until today. Well I take it back didn't eat enough this whole last week. I ate today and my stomach hurt so bad. So I asked my roommate to go for a walk. I was trying not to get rid of dinner. Along the way I said something as a joke about a car passing by. She told me that what I said was rude and that I say things like that alot. I took that pretty hard. So of course I came home and got rid of it. You know people do alot every day that offend or hurt me. But I never say anything about it. I just take it. I figure if I were to say something about what someone did I would hurt them. So I don't. It's weird when you work so hard not to hurt or offend some one or any one that you do just that. So I guess today I failed maybe tomorrow will be better.:sigh: It's hard not to take offences ecspeacially when your not strong enough to tell people that they have hurt you to.:scratch:

:hug: i'm sorry about what happened. for me because i'm bipolar; things like this move my feelings and moods around. i feel pushed around by them. meds help. so does spiritual growth. when i feel pushed around by my feelings/moods... i just do my best to work through it.
it helps to have someone to talk to. a someone who helps you feel good. excepts you as you are. it feels nice to not feel like i have to be perfect for someone. to
have a friend that tries to build you up. daysoni :hug: ...

the person you are talking about here loves you alot.
you are like a fresh flower sitting on the table. everybody is wanting to sniff it. it's sooooo pretty. so are you. pretty and sniffable. ^_^ super stud.

Yeah. It's little ol pea picken me. I am thrilled to hear that you discovered a friend in a flower from God. I think alot of that flower too.

I get exactly what happened when you came home from a glorious and holy day spent with a friend. What excitement, what fun, what love, what joy came from spending time with this new friend. Then you come home and "bang" you are caught off guard with the negative and "bang" those icky feelings come back and "bang" its ED time to rid ourselves of those icky feelings. I understood clearly what happened.

That used to happen alot with me. For what ever the reason, its not happening as much. Can I tell you why it isn't? I can PM you if you want or I can tell you why here so others can benefit. Let me know.

I get exactly what happened to you. When I read this post, Daysoni, I saw me. It felt like me.


Remember: feelings are just feelings. They are not fact.


Remember: Ask youself is this situation life threatening? Is what I'm feeling life threatening?


The answer: "No, no, no! " :thumbsup:


Feelings can't hurt us unless we let them. They are what they are. Just feelings. :amen:

"You stupid feelings, go away. I don't have time for you today. ":thumbsup:

"Satan, In the name of Jesus, get behind me. I rebuke you. Leave my feelings alone."
In the name of Jesus I command this.:priest:


Gentleness to you sweet Angel of God:angel: ,
