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.
please....help

Hey girlie,
Well I know that the best thing that I can do for you right now is pray so you are in my prayers, but I will try to help you out. You see there is a fence in each of our lives. We decide which side of the fence we will make our mark. On one side there is God...And everything he has to offer, but it is not easy. Then there is the other side, which is the world, and it is much easier. But what we want is to straddle the fence and enjoy the best of both worlds. But God says he either wants us hot or cold, not lukewarm. Things are black and white there is no grey in the choices we make. Changing your whole life is not easy to do, but if it is what you must do, God will help you make the sacrifices. I think one thing that we do is try to fix and cahnge everything at once, but do it slowly and it will last longer. Make true commitments and you will have a hard time backing down. I hope this has helped.
A God Chaser,
Jess

Tsaxgurl: Do you have any friends that are also Christians? What my church encourages for things like this is to find one person that you trust and can hold you up, and have them call you weekly to check up on you to check up on you and ask you questions to see how you're doing.
I'll be praying for you.

This is the part where "You can't do anything on your own strength, but through the strength of Christ you can do anything." come in to our lives directly.
Your struggle is what life and Christ is about. You make look upon this as just a little thing when in fact its essential to your existence. Prayer is the place to start. Looking for Christian support is second..........

Amen. But, there are things that will help and relaly I think are a necessity to be walking with the LORD. Are you reading the Word and seeking for the Holy Spirit to teach you? Are you praying and asking God to work in yoy? So many people don't spend time alone with the LORD and if you do start spending time alone with the LORD, he will start working in you more and more! Praise God!

I will pray for you! 
Computer games were something that was keeping me from God but they are things that I have grown up on. It was very hard to give them up, but in return God has blessed me in other ways.
What you give up for God, He will replace with other good things.
