• 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.

Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

I am new to this site. I have been diagnosed with bipolar 2, severe anxiety and OCD. I have been looking for a place where I could talk to other Christians who have my disorder(s). I need people to talk to and to pray with and to understand where I'm coming from.

I've prayed for healing many times, but God has told me as he told Paul "My grace is sufficient for thee". I believe that God wants me to use my illness to help others and I do that as often as I can.

There are those times however when I feel so weary and need fellow Christians to lift me up so that I can continue to be strong. I think that I will find what I am looking for here. That is my earnest prayer.

Dear Sneet58


Welcome here at CF. You shall find many good folks here to help and console you in those tough times.


I'm bipoar 1. It took going behind locked doors in the medical unit and some time working with meds but I have been good for over 4 years.



" I believe that God wants me to use my illness to help others and I do that as often as I can. "


If you want to be the BEST YOU CAN BE you need GOD'S GIFT:

" If a person has never sneezed think how it would be to tell this person exactly how it would feel.


The same is TRUE with the HOLY SPIRIT.


Take you mind off the HOLY SPIRIT. For your mind has NO influence over IT.


What you MUST DO in order to be ANOINTED by GOD with the HOLY SPIRIT ( BORN AGAIN, SAVED ) is commit your WHOLE LIFE TO GOD and GOD'S WILL. Then from that moment on seek GOD in all your decisions.


You were placed on this earth to perform a GODLY MISSION. Some folks do and some don't ever get to it.


If you will notice we all start out with an itch we can't scratch. IT bugs us. We can find no real contentment. WE TRY!!! ( SEX, DRUGS, MONEY, ECT. ECT. ) BUT you still have that feeling your life is not being fulfilled.


This is why folks attend the worldly Church. They feed on the MILK for babes. ( as per GOD'S WORD ) BUT IT'S NOT ENOUGH!!! YOU ARE STILL NOT SATISFIED!!!


WHY???

BECAUSE YOU NEED THE REAL FOOD!!! ( as per GOD'S WORD )



Now after you have made the commitment referred to above GOD WILL KNOW!!! AS HE SEARCHES THE HEART!!!


IT IS THEN that GOD WILL BESTOW HIS ANOINTING UPON YOU WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT. INSTANT GIFTS!!!


You then will get a:

1. TEACHER

2. COMMUNICATOR

3. COMFORTER

4. GUIDE

So that you will be prepared to carry out the MISSION GOD GAVE TO JUST YOU!!! "

WHAT A JOY IT IS TO REMEMBER:


“ Believe “ in Greek is a verb and has three components which are: hearing, accepting, and then acting ( COMMITING ) upon that which you have accepted.

X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O
( click on the x and drag to the O ) ( then see who is with you ) steven
