• 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

Hi, I'm new here. 23 years old.
I've been abused emotionally for many years, and am now just realizing it. This can't happen anymore. My family doesn't seem to understand, and they are contributing to my feelings of alienation by blaming me for how I feel. It's my fault. I feel awful. They make me feel subhuman.
The worst part is feeling like I have no one to talk to about this. I want to go back to college, get a job, and make friends. well thanks for listening..I needed to get that out..

hey, its not your fault, don't believe that crap ok? It's hard to feel somehow less than human and I don't know how familes do that but mine did that to me, and the results wern't pretty. you're right this can't happen anymore, do whatever it takes to stop it cuz there is hope for a new and better life of freedom, I know there is and we gotta stick together and fight for it.
We're all here listening, hope you stick around:D

Always,
Christina

Welcome to CF. I'm glad that you have goals and want to go back to school etc.. And you seem to feel somewhat empowered which is good and allowed. Which I think we sometimes loose that sense of empowerment most people have.. anyway.. I hope you can accomplish what you dream. Hope to see you round.
