• 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

My parents found out this week that was raped. My dad wants me to report it to the police. So he is setting it up for me so that I can talk to a female detective. I'm not ready to talk about it. It's so hard right now. I'm scared, and I just want to cry but I can't. I need support right now. I feel like I'm falling apart.

That will be very difficult, sweetie, but you can do it. Think of the other people you may be saving from the same experience...
Be strong, sweetie, and hang in there...
I'm glad that your parents know and can support you.

It will undoubtedly be difficult but you can do it with support and I think you will feel stronger for it. I wish 30 years later that I had reported mine. I carry guilt for not reporting it. Hang in there and let your family and friends help you.

Dont just think about now. Think how it will make you feel 10 years from now if you dont get it out. Think about how the guy might get free and do it again when your story may prevent it.

You did nothing wrong. You were the one wronged.
