• 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

Please pray for me!

I go to court in the morning. I have to testify against the man that abused me for 4 years. I am very scared but I am also very physically unwell. I am very sick with an infection in my ears, sinus and throat. I also have trouble with panic attacks whenever he is near me. I am afraid. But I have to do this and be strong. The trial may last for 3 days I have been told by my lawyer. Please remember the unworthy handmaid Stephanida in your prayers.

:prayer: I will be praying for you. This is a very brave thing you are doing...a very good thing. You want to put this guy away so he can't hurt you or anyone else again. May God bless you with His ever-present peace during your court proceedings. God will be with you during the trial - He promised never to leave us or forsake us. Sleep well and do well tomorrow and each day.....remember Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

As a fellow abusee I feel compelled to remind you that you aren't at fault. Don't let him make you pay for his sin. He has to ask somebody else to do that for him.

My best advice is to try and forgive him, when you forgive him he no longer has control over you. Be brave my sister.

I will be praying for you that you wil go in confidence and not in fear. Go in peace knowing good things is going to come out of it. I'm sorry you had to go through this ordeal for 4 years. My heart breaks when I hear people abusing other people. No one, even you, deserve abuse. You are the apple of the Lord's eye. He loves you and will give you strength. When you feel fearful, give your fears to him. What is the cure for fear?

In 1 Jokhn 4:18 "18There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love."

Translation. Allow the Lord to cover you with His love and through that, the fear will leave. When you feel fearful, just cast your cares to him that he is in control. Fear is the opposite of faith and they both demand equal time. So, allow the Lord's love for you to cover you and bring peace to your mind, body and spirit. Just know he loves you and will protect you and that there is nothing to fear becasue He is in control.

Blessings! you are in my prayers.
