• 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

Sorry to bother you all. Things were going much better recently, then something happened today...

My income support has been suspended as it goes along with another benefit which I aparently didn't apply for. Now I can't afford my rent for my flat! Or the bills! I'm panicing, my mind is in overdrive and I can barely breathe! My mum has rang up a number to sort it out but it may take weeks to sort it, and thats if it does get sorted!

I am on benefits for my depression.

yeah take a day at a time. ive been through similar stuff in university. i was supposed to have recieved some financial support for tuition that i didnt yet recieve. the university threatened to take away my facilities and and evict me i dont know how many times. i just kept taking a day at a time. i went to support agencies were they give you advice. i telephoned the finance support company and just yesterday i recieved the grant. the whole conflict took half a year to solve.

i never got evicted or had my facilities taken away. just hang in there. get as much advice from people and try to talk to those companies that give support. tell them exactly the situation that you are in. tell them that you need the support. if they cant give you what you need ask them for alternative solutions.
