• 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

i'm entering a rough road. my speech is messed up and i keep stuttering more. i got upset today and i'm trying to cope with it. so far pretty good. but i know i can come here and chat with others who know how hard the days are when we fight hurt feelings. my schitz is acting up too. i keep seeing things that don't exsist.

i was focusing on the fact that i'm on staff. all you that pm or rep me saying how cool it is or how nice i am. thinking / focusing on this is a lift on my burdens. to think i get to minister to others; and you minister to me, is the love of Christ. a small piece of our day is a big part of life. i'll keep focusing on what is praiseworthy! :groupray:

thank you for being here for me. :hug:


Philippians 4:4-9
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Dee, I have to say that I admire you.

Despite dealing with a cocktail of emotions and symptoms, you make certain that you find the strength and time for your family and for your friends here.

I know what it's like to wake up feeling as though you need every ounce of your being to simply get out of bed and carry on with your day.

No matter the difficulty, you DO carry on and all of us here DO get the opportunity to interact with you. That kind of strength and resolve is definitely to be admired!

As you always say to the rest of us in the CF, please feel free to PM me if you need to talk.

Take care and God bless.
Stephen

Dearest Goldenviolet,

Just a note to say... I agree with spdnet and Protinus about how special you are :thumbsup:

When I read your honest posts and your willingness to look to Jesus regardless of what you're going thru... it makes me realize how that is what I should be doing.

Thank you for your encouraging words and honesty.

Love and :hug:

Sorry to hear things are rough right now, Dee. I pray that things would quickly resolve for you. May peace and gentleness cover you as you walk through this season. May His hand be on you, protecting you and keeping you safe.

Dearest Goldenviolet,

This verse just came to me today. I thought it so appropriate for this sister and brotherhood.... "if two (or more) of you agree on earth about ANYTHING that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father who is in Heaven.:groupray: NEAT, EH???

Love from a fellow :hug: ger!

Dee,

The poem posted with your grandson's picture is one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read.

I am going to make a poster out of it and put it on my fridge.

I really hope you are feeling better. Excercise helps clear my head when I am scattered. Last week, when I got sick I was stuttering and my speech was slow when I was coming out of it. Everything will normalize. You hang in there honey.

Love,
Janice
