• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 pray for wisdom

I have high blood pressure and I am getting over a cold. Yesterday at work I went upstairs to get some packages and then I started coughing, and then between that and picking the packages up off the floor I started getting dizzy. Now I have had some issues with orthos tactic hypotension and with light-headedness when coughing, so on the one hand I wanted to dismiss it, but then I started to worry that it was my heart. I love the anonymity of the Internet so I can complain about this stuff. Anyway I could use some prayer.

Hope, that was beautiful! Thanks so much for posting this. I didn't listen to it earlier because I wanted to be home and use Wi-Fi. In the light of a new day and since I felt well yesterday, I am less worried about my health. But I realize part of my anxiety is just good old fashioned fear of death, which we all have to face. Concentrating on my faith and doing things that are on my heart will help with this, I think. I think I will listen to this song every day for awhile.

Thanks so much for your support, Brinny. I am feeling better today and I plan to see my doctor after Christmas. Also it gave me a little jolt of the fear of death, which can be a good thing if it reminds me to be grateful for every day, to live life to the fullest, and take care of any resentments I have. God is so good.

Thanks so much. As I said to the others, I feel better today and I hope to use this experience to draw closer to God. If I hadn't reached out for prayer, I don't think I would be feeling this gratitude and reminder to prioritize things that last, like God and our loved ones.
