• 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

sometimes it's hard to share. :hug: that's ok. yoiu share when and where you are ready to. don't pressure yourself. some people share right away, some only pieces, some not often, some not at all to certain people or places. it's all just what is best for you and your grieving process. changing your mind even. the Lord has His healling hands on you, no matter how you are coping and managing your grief. *hug* ... we'll just make your thread a place for you to come get encouragement about yourself. you don't have to post what you're going through unless you decide to. :hug:

Hi GodDoesListen55! :)

We don't know eachother but we are sisters in Christ, and I love you. I don't claim to know anything about what you've been through but it breaks my heart to know that you're suffering and hurting as much as I know you are so far. :sigh: If I could take that from you, I would in a second!

I just wanted to say that if you ever want another sister to talk to, I'd always love to talk to you - about anything and everything too, it doesn't have to have anything to do with the reason why you made this thread. I'd never push you.

Know that you're in my prayers. :hug::)

Your sister in Christ,

This_Beautiful_Faith :)

You don't have to share it until you are ready. And don't pressure yourself about when that might be, we're all on our own timeline and are all ready at different points. But know that you aren't alone and we're here to support you should you need us. *snuggles*
