• 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 understand that urge to self-destruct when I am angry and feeling hurt by a loved one. It is a tactic that the devil will use to get us to stop looking to the Lord and start hurting a child of God, ourselves. When we do that, Satan wins. Start believing the Truth about what God says about you. Learn new ways to deal with anger. Journal, exercise, pray, meditate on scripture, take a bubble bath, love the body God gave you and love yourself too. That takes work, and study of scriptures, but the winner is you in the end.

Read and meditate on the following statements when you are hurt and angry and tempted to harm yourself.

Hugs,
Trish

It is hard not to fall into the old patterns that have been our comforters form before. I haven't cut myself since October. One thing that has helped me is to put icecubes in my hands and squeeze them untill I can't take it. It does help. Another isd to think that when I want to cut. I think why do I want to give that power to satan or the person or situation that made me mad. You are in my prayers. Stay strong and trust God
