• 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 wrote this poem to describe what I was feeling a while back. I still feel this now. I have loads of questions going on in my head at the moment.​

Lord, Why?

Lord, why do I feel like this,
Like I’m in some great abyss?
I really wouldn’t go amiss,
So, why then do I exist?

Lord, why did I have to go through pain,
When someone had their pleasurable gain?
My past I’m trying to ascertain,
Please would you like to explain?

Lord, why do I feel so much hate,
When it was you who did create?
You made a man, who made my fate,
This man, my body he did desecrate.

Lord, what am I to feel when this happened to me?
Was it part of your will to be?
There are so many questions, can’t you see?
Please, Lord, can you hear my plea?

Thank you very much goldenviolet for your very kind words. They mean alot to me at the moment. I'm sure that in time things will improve and I will start to believe the words that you have said. I so much want to believe, but it's just hard at the moment with loads of questions going on in my mind.

I have had similar questions and feelings, too, but there is hope for healing.
