• 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.

I am very sorry for what happened to you.

Im glad that you are recieving councelling.

My partner went through the same thing, and she still thinks about it, but she told me, and I do believe a problem halfed is a problem shared.

The tragic thing that happened has made you what you are today, hopefully it has made you stronger, and I just pray that you will lead a normal life, and learn to love and smile again.

I`m always here

Take care

God is able. Always. What it is impossible with man is possible with God. He will heal you. Cry out to Him, He is there. He may not take you out of it, but He will take you through it. He is your Good Shepherd, Psalm 23, He will never leave you or forsake you, Heb. 13:5.

Hi Annie, and welcome.

I was also molested by my older brother. I just want to give you hope and a vision for your future. Know that healing is possible through our wonderful Lord and Savior, and that what happened to you will be used of God to make you a strong and compassionate woman to offer mercy and healing to others who have also suffered abuse.

God bless you on your journey. I am available by email or PM should you ever want to talk, and no need to worry about triggers.

Hi Annie. I'm new here too. I am also a survivor. Yes the journey is scary and sometimes seems impossible, but God is good beyond your wildest imaginings. He is faithful to stay by your side through the journey, holding you and carrying you and loving you all the way. I have come through the hardest part of my journey recently, and there were times I thought I wouldn't make it, but God can and does do the impossible. He loves you so very much. And there really can be deep joy in your heart again. I like to picture a little girl in a twirly dress or tutu spinning in delight just being a little girl (something we never were allowed to be.) Check out my blog ~ the address is in my profile. You may find some comfort there. You are in my prayers. :prayer:
