• 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.

Need help with friendship.

Being A Friend?


I really don't want to hurt my friend, she a gentle lady. She does have a kind-heart too. Her name is Pinky.

There is one thing that she does that get me annoyed with her.

She keeps saying she come and see me, but never does. It hurt me. makes me feel like she doesn't want to see me.


Should I talk to her and tell her how I feel, she has done it quite a few times now? I know she not perfect. I'm not perfect myself. Or Should I just let it blow over?

I think you certainly deserve an answer, but I suggest you ask her calmly, not with an accusing tone. Maybe there really has been stuff keeping her from coming, but then again maybe she doesn't want to come. I don't think you can let this blow over, unless she stops doing it.
May God grant you the wisdom and strength to handle this.

Some people are "possibility" thinkers. They say a lot of things they end up not doing. She probably does that to everyone.

Now that you know that's just the way she is, you can realize it doesn't really mean she is making a promise to come over and see you. All it really means is that, to her, coming over to see you sounds like a fun idea and she might do it sometime.

Or, maybe I'm wrong, but giving her the benefit of the doubt, that's what I'm thinking.

I don't know if you should say anything to her or not. You might want to ask her about it, if you're comfortable with that.

Just casually bring it up next time you talk to her. Good friends tell each other everything. Friends tell each other everything thats bothering them and they tell each other the truth. Let her know how your feeling about it. Like Fallingwaters said. She probably does it to everyone. She may not even realize she's done it!
