• 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

...Ofcourse hasnt been a plesant one, HAHAHHA... Buts all always been about one thing, learning...

If you want my advice with dealing with depression, then here it is...

Forgiveness, to God for, haha, "abandoning" you, as im sure you may have felt at some time or anything, Forgiveness to those who may seem to have abandoned you.. and most importantly, forgiveness to yourself..

You must FACE, with all of your strength and power what it is that is causing your depression, pure and simple..

Most importantly, AVOID the drugs. Im not talking about recreational ****, they are of little consequence. The MEDICATIONS which they say are fine for you, and safe, so ofcourse you will take them when THEY say that.. Dont, if you can avoid them, so do, or they will be the most difficult part of your recovery from whatever it is in the distant future.. Its where I am right now.. Ive got to put up with 3-4 weeks of withdrawl, from a drug that NOW, is doing nothing but slowly killing my body, spirt, and soul...

The world is a fu*ked up place UNFORTUNATELY, filled with evil, and hatred, and people who want only to see you fail, and crash and burn.

IM HERE TO TELL YOU, THEY ARE OF N O CONSEQUENCE. IN THEIR OWN FAILING LIVES & METHODS AND PRACTICES, THEY TRY THEIR BEST TO DRAG DOWN WITH THEM THOSE WHO STILL HAVE H O P E...

If you obey God, and obey the universe, and obey yourself, and you treat others kindly and with love and care, and you do the same for yourself.. You will be saved, and will be dragged out of the cold dark hole that you have dug for yourself..

Im on my way out, but ive still got a looong way to go haha...But I will get there, & when im there, ill be praising the lord and the universe and myself for actually having the power that i thought i could never have.. the power to TRY....

Did I just type all that? :O
