• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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

Today my mom said a negative comment about my weight. It hurt my soul a lot. She does not know how I was abused and overfed. And the medication I am on causes weight gain. I am suffering a lot because of my weight and feel despair and suicidal over it. I know Jesus loves me but it is painful to go through this. I probably will not be able to loose weight till I am off the medication which will take some time. I feel sad because I feel trapped in my body. I don't feel like myself. I want to pray that Jesus one day soon heals my weight and helps me to heal from the emotional wounds.

May the Lord bless you, bluerose, I will pray for you and for me, trying to lose weight.
I came to the end of myself and asked Jesus to take over and show me by the power of his Holy Spirit what to eat. He is helping me and I am trusting him and not trying to diet in my own strength.

That is beautiful that Jesus is helping you know what to eat. I will also pray that Jesus take over and show me by the power of the Holy Spirit what to eat. God bless you.

Lord have mercy! Join a gym, not for weight loss but because exercise helps with depression. Do what you can and pay no mind to what others say
Thank you so much for these words. God bless you.
