• 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.

Hi there,
I'm new here and I want to ask some questions but I don't want to give details that might upset / offend people if it is inappropriate...

I'm a survivor of rape (sorry if this word is supposed to be starred) and I'm also newly married.
I want to ask advice/opinions on issues surrounding sex but I don't want to offend or upset anyone by posting something like this in the wrong place.
Is this something I can bring up and discuss here or am I in the wrong place?

Hi 2911AMS,
Welcome! I'm glad that you found this forum. I pray that it is a good community for you and that you find healing. I'm very sorry of your situation, but it's great that you are reaching out here and talking about it!

I think this would be an okay place, I'd recommend reading this http://www.christianforums.com/t7273272/ . It is some rules to post so that it is a warning before having a possible trigger come up.

Also, if it is extra help, there is another thread here for sexual assault victims here: http://www.christianforums.com/f557/

You are more than welcome here! I bounce around to different threads: Autism/Aspbergers, Depression, Abuse, General Mental Health, Anxiety, etc. I believe some of them are inter-connected. You may have seen it, but the list of subjects is here: http://www.christianforums.com/f935/

Best of luck to you, friend. I hope you find the healing you need here. We're a big family and everyone is very friendly here. Feel free to share as little or as much as you'd like. :thumbsup: May God richly bless your new marriage! I myself am a newlywed, been married about a year and a half. How long have you been married?

Welcome to CF!

I also recommend going here: Ask a Chaplain. They are so very helpful and they are the only ones who see your username, so it is very confidential. There are also private men's and women's forums as well.

Don't hesitate to ask any questions.

Praying for you. :)
