• 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 onefinewire,
Welcome to CF!

I am sorry about what happened. I am glad that you were able to tell someone about it. I was sexually abused when I was younger and didn't really know what was going on until it all came back to me 10 years later after it happened. Telling someone was one of the best things I ever did in my life. Please feel free to PM me anytime.

in Christ,
Iris

I was molested by my stepbrother from ages 9 to 12. You can PM me anytime you would like. Healing will take time. I believe, personally, the events leave a mark on a person(particularly women), but God can heal you such that you can be a blessing to others dealing with this. God can and will redeem all the pain you went through. God Bless you and hold on to Him. :hug:

hi everyone.
i'm new :)
i was sexually assaulted for over 6 months and just finally told someone about it.
now i'm looking for anyone to talk to that knows what i'm going through.
I understand what you are saying, believe me. I do not know the circumstances so I will not say I know what you are going through. I myself was a victim and waited for 4 months to tell only to find out that when I did I was pregant. Feel free to email me anytime! It is possible to get past this.
