• 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'm not sure if anyone else deals with this but sometimes I will do stuff that I'm not really sure if its a sin and feel that if i dont ask for fogiveness for it that I'm commiting the unpardonable sin. Lately I have been worrying about the way that I dress. I am REALLY into fashion and lately I have been worrying that if I wear something that may be a little revealing that I am causing someone to stumble (guys) of course. I will say that I in no way dress like a tramp lol but I do wear dresses when I go out with friends that are sometimes form fitting. Im not big on showing my breast or anything but I like my dresses and clothing to fit nicely and I like wearing different things. I recently posted a really nice picture of myself on a photo sharing app on my phone of me in this really cute dress and close ups of my face to show my hair and make-up. I even showed my grandma the picture (shes pretty religious) and aked her did I look "hoochie" lol and she said no. I got a lot of feed back from my friends telling me I looked so pretty and they loved my dress but I ended up deleting it because I thought the dress was too tight and I in some way was causing some guy to stumble. I actually regretted deleting it because I really loved the picture but I am unsure if I am just obsessing. I know that we as women are supposed to dress modestly but Im not sure if everything I wear would be considered modest. Dresses, jeans, jumpsuits, rompers, lol I wear it all. I just like to look nice and like a women idk im confused:confused:

It sounds like you just like to look good. I do to. I wear all the stuff you said, I'm a mother of 3 so, the thing I really try to cover is my chest, because I am forever bending down to pick up a toddler, or toy...It is important to feel good about yourself. If your dressing with integrity, and honesty I don't think you should have much to worry about.
God Bless you

The last I knew, not asking forgiveness is not itself unforgivable. Just think, there are all sorts of sins we might never know of, but Jesus died for these too. I suspect you are asking forgiveness for things you don't even know if you feel are wrong. Is this kindof like ocd checking? I hope you can come to feel safe with how you dress. You sound like your heart is in the right place. It sounds like you really enjoy fashion, and that is a good thing. Sometimes I wish others knew more about how to dress too. Maybe that is something you could help some of the girls at church with or inspire by example. (smile) As for guys being tempted, well, with some guys you could wear a sack and they'd still struggle. Other guys could see sexy nightwear and suggestive poses and be quite fine without temptation.
