• 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

Are your parents aware of the type of problem that you have? That this is a serious disorder that requires treatment! I would like to encourage you to seek treatment even if you have to go out on your own. I will pray for your peace of mind and safety...

Your brother in Christ,
Eric

I wish I knew what to say...

I don't know you. I'm in North Carolina and I don't know where you are. But I feel your pain. I know all you can do is "feel". I could never explain it. Still it's hard to put it into words for me. You might even doubt me. But I feel your pain.

And you'll never know how sorry I am that I don't know what to tell you so I'm just going to pray. PM me if you want. I've never volunteered information about my past to anyone. But you're where I once was. I didn't hurt myself but it's only by God's grace. I don't know what else to say...

Stop hurting yourself... :hug: it's very normal that we try to do something because we are seeking for attention. Maybe, you can try to cook something for you mom or help out with the house chores? This way, you can get attention as well...usually, moms don't ask what's wrong with their child and, we don't have to hurt ourself in order to get attention from them either.

I'll pray that your mom will understand your needs.

Please don't assume! How do you know she did/does it for attention? How much do you know about her life? How do you know that the generalizations you're applying to her really do apply?

:sigh: :cry: :mad:

Sweetie, what's wrong? You can tell me if you like (or not. It's up to you). Just remember that I won't insult or judge you. I have issues, too- lots of them. And, I also know how awful it feels to be judged.

I'm here if you want me to be. :hug: Hang in there, sweetheart.
