• 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.

My temper

Job, I am with ya on this one. I have been really working on that tame your tongue thing. I'm surprised I haven't already bitten it off. I am seriously making a conscience effort to think before I speak. My temper can show its ugly head sometime, too. Then I am left feeling guilty because I screwed up in setting a good example. Especially with my children, they seem to bring out the worst in me at times, haha... Guess it is something that we can all try to do a little better at. Sundays before church seem to be the worst. I recognize that it is satan trying to get me to throw my hands up in the air and say, forget it we are not going to church. I have learned that when I get up on Sundays and spend the morning singing praises, the day goes much smoother. If I use my voice to sing songs to Him then I am not wasting my voice on saying things that only produce hard feelings. It's hard to go to church angry so I am working very hard on this one. I recieve soooo much more from the message when I leave all my negativeness at the door before entering. Then I hurry and get in my car before anything can follow me back home!
