• 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.

Post here when you feel like cutting

Yes. Whenever we ask that question...I truly believe Satan is trying to tempt us. Because we know there is a point. There are promises in the Bible that say how valuable and treasured we are. That by his stripes we are healed (not our own). That our body is a temple of the holy spirit and therefore important and to be treated properly. That God's plans are not to harm us but give us a hope and a future. Quiddler, there is a point, you just can't see it right now...don't give into the lie that there is no point. That being said...I'm struggling too. I wanted to today. I wondered whom would know, and who would care. But I know those answers too.

Hang in there, the devil will use anything to tempt you, this is why you must turn everything over to God. During the first couple months after basic training I let satan convince me that I was never going to see my family again and that I had thrown my life away and God could not use me while I was in the military.
It's hard because I have 5 1/2 more years of service left, but I'm getting through it by the grace of God. Because everything the devil says is a lie or a twisted version of the truth, but what God says is truth and loves you and will give you peace and joy like nothing you have ever imagined.
Tell God you feel like cutting, just talk with him for a while. Completely surrender to him and watch what he can do for you.

Wow aca-rev55! Where did that come from??
It's obvious you're pretty ticked off. How can we help you? TN
I'm a Republican and a Conservative in what is likely one of the most Liberal cities in America.

In a place like this, they preach being tolerant of other and encourage one to express their beliefs... only when you do, and you happen to be a Conservative Republican, you're an intolerant bigot based on that. I've been ridiculed and put down because of what I believe... I think they all need to look up the definition of "bigot." I'm not the intolerant one.
