• 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.

I just found this site this evening, and was impressed with much of the discussion as I've been reading.

I struggle with depression, and have my entire life. I'm doing much better and usually it is just a minimal difficulty, but this last year has been really rough. This last week, I've found myself wanting to withdrawal again, to isolate from my support system and give in to the urges to do nothing instead of what I know I should do. I know I should spend time with friends. I know I should eat well.

I don't have time to post a great amount of time, but I do want to find a place where I can get support as well as give it.

Looking forward to meeting you,
Kristen

Welcome sister. I am also fairly new here, been on this site for a couple months. I've found it has been a great place to get some different points of view, chat, or just vent a little. Most of us are going through very similar situations, and it helps to have someone relate. So feel free to write, pray, share, and even vent some frustration. we'll listen and try to help in any way we can. I know how it can feel to be pretty down, so I hope and pray that you are feeling better as you read this. May God bless you. and welcome!

Thank you all so much for your replies. I appreciate the welcome and I'm not usually shy so I'm just in (and have done so).

I have found that talking and sharing help so much in the tough times. I'm glad to know this is a place to do that.

Thank you again.

Kristen
