• 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

I'm praying for you and hoping for all the best for you. Have you thought of getting medication? It might make you feel a lot better and helps PTSD, too. I want you stay in this world, I care and love you.

Thanks for your kind words. I have tried many medications and they work for a few weeks then dont. Ive tried anti depressants, anti psychotics and a range of anxiety meds. The withdrawals are terrible. Maybe there is no help for me.

Please don't give up on trying medications. It took me awhile to find the right ones. Praying for you.:crosseo:

I escape listening to music and singing to it! I love music, especially guitar music. I also like to draw. We can express our feelings in so many ways that are good for us. I had nightmares yesterday morning. I prayed a lot after I woke up to shake the awful feelings I got from them. I talk to Jesus a lot.

I listen to music every day. It's man's free will that God gave us, some really abuse it badly. Jesus heals us and does no harm.

I have those kinds of thoughts too but I just let them go now. I want to live.

I have found things to live for, I am getting old and I will not live a long time anyway. I decided I want to live because I want to help people and animals in this world. I have to be of service to Jesus I feel. He saved my life I believe. I almost died about 3 years ago and was brought back to life. I feel it was for a reason and I think helping in any way I can is a good reason.

Are you afraid to go to sleep? I have been a little since I've been having nightmares but I'm trying to just think of them as dreams and get over them as fast I can so I don't dwell on the bad dreams.

While I was having a bad dream my mind intercepted it and told me to dream of something beautiful and i dreamt of a big field and beautiful flowers for awhile. I don't know how I did that but I heard once we can do that.
