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.

Let me tell you my story about what happend to me
I was with my friend one day and her boyfriend and her boyfriends friend. We went swimming for a while and then after the pool we went to the liquer store to get some alcohol. He was young so l gave him some to be nice he was so happy he thanked me and said he would pay me back. And after a while l had 2 of his beers I was fine and then it was around 1 then soon it was night time got dark outside. I felt really sick l can't remember how l got to my friends house. Her mom gave me toast and jam to calm me down cause l was acting odd. She said l wasn't drunk something else is wrong and then my friends boyfriend said he will take me home. He lived 2 blocks away so they said ok thinking he was nice. I found out after it was one big lie he never wanted to take me home. He went to his house and he shut the door and started to rape me l remember l said no and tried to get him off. I was too weak to push him off l told him to stop and was crying loudly. Then he said ok ok and took me home I got home and l was acting funny still. My dad was yelling l cant remember what l said my dad thought l was drunk my mom was like no she has been raped take her to the hospital. My dad just laughed l threw up on pillow green throw up my mom changed my pillow and dressed me for bed after a while l fell asleep everyone went to work expect for me and my sister. I didn't go to school weekends my sister wasn't going to work I woke up I had green throw up every where on my bed on my floor. My sister came in and asked me what happend last night then l cried really loudly that l got raped. She hugged me and phoned my mom at work and my dad they came rushing home took me to the hospital. I was in there for 8 hours doing tests doing everything they could to help the nurse helped me l was shaking while in the waiting room and for days after. l couldn't go outside for 2 weeks then my parents said l should go back to school. Thought l would be ok after all of that they were wrong for about a year l slept with everyone l slept with a total of 12 people. I thought if I did that l would forget about him l was even depressed then l slept with my friends boyfriend. She didnt talk to me again after that we became friends years later but nothing was the same after that. Now we don't talk and l was known in my town of being a [wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth][wash my mouth]

My heart is with both of you who shared your stories. Abuse is abuse...I too am a survivor of far too much....and what I learned is ths....God may allow us to go through these awful experiences, but without them...we may never learn to depend on Him. And God doesn't do these to us....the people who don't listen to their God voice...but the evil one inside them do this evil stuff!
As for the church experience, I once heard this and it stuck, and from my experiences find it to be very true....the House of the Lord always has demons lurking in every corner trying to destroy the Holiness within. Be it through gossip, bad thoughts about someone...down to these other horrific situations.
But the healing from such trauma in life is the greatest testimonies you will ever have. Because you survived, you grew, you are a wonderful human being and you have Faith!!
God Bless you and thankyou for sharing your stories~

givenwings, I too was abused in church and blamed God for a long time. I'm so happy he didn't hold that against me.
