• 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

:prayer: soaring as eagles :prayer:

Praying that it will all get sorted quickly.

Dear Lord I ask for your healing hand to be placed upon this child of yours as she struggles thru the trials and tribulations of this life on earth and i ask that especially you be there for her as she visits her mum which she is not keen on doing but that you make sure that it goes as painlessly as possible. I also ask for help for her to resist the temptation of harming one of your children by hurting herself. Lord please strengthen her faith during this difficult time. I ask this in your precious and Holy Name. Amen.

hope that helps

- Shaz

I pray the Lord will help you thru this difficult time.

But I hope you don't mind a tip that I found helpful. When I was self hurting, it was in part because I found physical pain helped distract my mind from emotional pain. The counselor I was seeing at the time suggested that I try ice. When I got to that point where I was considering hurting myself, if I got a bowl of ice and stick my hands in it, it didn't take very long before the sensation would become overpowering and painful, helping to distract me from my emotional pain, but without inflicting the same kind of damage that I had been. I still had to deal with the issues, and learn how to live with what was going on in my life, but the suggestion of using ice helped me to keep from hurting myself while I did so.
