• 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

I have been having obsessive thoughts about women committing infidelity, namely extreme infidelity. I wonder how many affairs they had and why they cheated. I also wanted to know about other things such as paternity of the children or divorce. I have had to struggle for a number of years now and I have now developed health problems as a result of the inability to cope, though there were other factors. The struggle has been that..a struggle. I don't understand why I have these thoughts, and frankly I never will. What could it be? I never cheated on anyone, nor have I ever been cheated on. This is a mystery to me. God I know has been there for me throughout and I thank Him for that. I have written down those thoughts and as hard as they were to read, they were even harder for me to suddenly "come upon me" in my mind thinking that they are really based on my life and I should fix things somehow.
