• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Meet, talk and support!

:prayer: I got the idea that some (or many ?) would be able to benefit from a thread where there is some continuation on day by day basis in support. Let's say that a person feels more depressed then usual. The person could write about that here, get support from others and "feed us" with information on how it is going.

I think that such a thread perhaps could give people a feeling of belonging which is so important when one is down.

Another example would be to try to keep hope up when depressed and being informed about a physical illness.

Yet another example could be the loss of a loved one and the progress with the process that grief is.

Another example could be joy, just share how happy one feels because of something unexpected that happened.


Well, you are all invited! :thumbsup:

Well I go first!:)

The smile is not a hint about that I feel happy, because I don't (even if I must admit that the depression fell from 7 to 5 on a scale from 10 - 0 when I had put the thread up).

To the case: I feel very alone and depressed because of some negative things that have happened lately. It is difficult to put it behind. I feel like sitting in some "mud" that I cannot drag myself out of. Still I know that with the help of God it is possible if I don't let myself sink deeper and deeper into it.


When I have posted this, I will say a prayer. :prayer: ...... :amen:

Hope others will join the thread with support, their problems, happiness or whatever.
:groupray:

Understand that so far, my proposal for a thread of this kind, has not made people smile over a new opportunity. :blush: Well, it's only something you can do if you want to do so.

I feel better now! The depression has lifted (I mean it is there, but I feel in control of it). I Have also got more distance to the negative event that happened in my life recently (and which gave me the idea for the thread).

God is helping!
