• 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

not only have i been diagnosed with mental and emotional disorders since i was a child (i'm now over 30).... but i have been isolated, institutionalized (longest for 14 months): (not left my house for three years), depressed ( everyway imaginable... even while on meds), abused, alone, swallowed up, suicial you name it!!! .........................my thorne is my mental disabilities.

i still suffer from mental problems....(ask anyone who knows me... we just call it "little" quirks) with all of these other things healed though.... how can i not rejoyce!?

when i realized all the doctors and family in the world couldn't help me.... i became really angry at God. little seeds were still in my life about God though. eventually i started crying out to God... with everything; all of my anger... all of my hurt... everything i was. then i began to ask Christ to change me... because i was so bad and disobediant that i couldn't ever get anything strait. POOF! it wasn't right away...... i started leaving the house two times aweek for my therepy/ i took classes to help me manage my mental illness.
(i had christian therepists who would also pray with me)..... i began reaching out and going to church. I CRIED THROUGH THE FIRST FEW SERVICES... and didn't feel like i belonged etc., ...... one thing at a time.... one goal at a time.
one accomplishment at a time..... all of it with a submissive heart... not sin and faultless.... just willing.

i don't even think i have the right to call it my thorne, that i still have mental road blocks! this is what God used to draw me close to Him!!! i have ups and downs all over the place... but my joy remains. my cup runneth over, i rejoyce and praise God!

now because of what God has done for me... i want to love Him and others. Jesus is teaching me how to cope on my journey. and i just want to reach out to whom ever can benefit from the things i found to help me.

:hug: GOD BLESS YOU!! love dee (anyone pm me if you want to!)
