• 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

As some of you know I am in the process of moving home but my soon-to-be new home needs a lot of work doing on it before I can move in. Well it seems to be taking forever because the workmen are either not doing their job properly or doing it properly but leaving the house in an unholy mess so time has to be wasted cleaning up after them. It is beginning to get me down because just when it seems I am making progress there seems to be yet another problem.

As I don't cope very well with stress I sometimes fear it will get too much for me and I don't want to have a breakdown. Has anyone any advice? I suspect part of the problem may be that I am a woman on my own without a partner or even a brother to stick up for me and I am not a very assertive person at the best of times. I have male relatives but they live very far away. In the meantime please keep me in prayer as I feel like I am under attack from Satan.:argh::argh::argh::argh:

I'll keep you in prayer. I have moved many times in my life and know how very stressful it can get. I tried to do things in steps. I made a list of everything I needed to do and did it little by little. So sorry that the workmen are leaving a mess. I have been on my own for a long time and have had to do everything myself, too. Keep posting about what you need. Hopefully you will get lots of support here.

Hi there my dear sweet loving sister,
I am praying my heart out for you sis.
I have a story for you. We had an awful leak in the room I live in. The landlord called this one roofer to come and fix it (this was in 2013), the landlord paid a lot of money to have the roof fixed. What happened, nothing, they didn't do a good job at all!!! So the year after we got a lot of leaks in the room cause of the poor (bad) job that the roofers did. So the landlord (rightfully angry) called around to different roofers, She finally found one that was a GREAT deal (good priced) and they fixed the roof right away and did a fantastic job. So maybe, if you can get some money back from those people who repaired your home, you can find someone better.
Another thing you could do is set up some type of camera in your new home and record the people who repair your home, that way you have it all on your video camera then you can get your money back if need be. You could place the camera in a fake plant or something.
Anyway I hope this helps you sweet sis. Love you lots (((((((((((((((BIG HUGS)))))))))))))))))) and MANY BIG :prayer:'s
