• 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

Hello everyone,
I know this is random, but I really feel like sharing this with people. It may also be abit muddled around but everything I am saying in this is from my heart! :)

OK. Well, I have decided to turn over a new leaf in my life. I am going to try and make myself a better person in everything I do. I am going to try and reach out to god more for guidance. I have been looking for lately a new church for me to go to with more youth there (because at my church my parents are the youngest ppl, so i dont have anyone to talk to my age there and it just doesnt suit me) and I have finally found one so hopefully once I get my drivers licence my parents will let me go there. I am hoping to not only attend the masses there, but also youth group and be apart of there whole musical worship program.
I am hoping all this with strengthen my relationship with god in a very practical way.

I am also trying to start doing alot of volunteer work. I am going to be wrapping christmas presents at my local shopping centre to raise money for Life Line (a charity) this christmas. I have also applied to be a volunteer youth leader at Edmund Rice Camps (Camps to give children who are disadvantaged through things like finacial difficulties, unfit family environments or are dealing with things that children shouldnt need to a break from city life and to have some fun).
I am really excited about these volunteer things because I want to somehow help those who are less fortunate than I am in a practical way besides just donating money. We often forget (well i know i do) just how lucky we are to have some of the thing we have... and I want to remind myself or just how lucky I am...

umm... :scratch: ...well yes... that is all I can remember at the moment. But the point of this post was to introduce myself as a new person... about to embark on a journey of becoming a better person in myself and in god. And a journey of cleansing my spirit.

Sending lots of Love and Prayers out to you all!
Bec:)

That is awesome, Bec, and I'm glad that you've decided to do this. :hug::hug: Not that the old Bec wasn't lovely too. :) But please, be careful to not overstretch yourself. I don't want you to get too caught up in all your activities and not have time to take care of you. 'Cause you're important, you know! :hug::hug:
