• 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

Prayers Please

Hi loved ones,
Miss everyone so much. Our lives have been turned upside down this past month. I don't have the time or energy to go into much detail so I'll try to be brief. We are facing possible foreclosure due to an unforseen event that occured with the sale of our U.P, home in MI two days before we were to close. My husbands father passed away in the midst of all this. My husband has yet another newly diagnosed health problem to deal with, very rare and scary, (more for me than him, he takes this type of news with such optimism.)
We are stuck in the U.P trying to do everything we can to get the sale of this house to go through. I have begun to call the house -"The Albatross". It's been snowing and blowing like crazy up here and that makes it doubly hard. We've been living out of boxes for 3 weeks now, using as much firewood as we can to keep warm as we are nearly out of propane and can't afford to fill the tank.
We're really exhausted both mentally and physically.
Please pray that God's will be accomplished in all of this and that He will give us the strength and grace to bear up under all of this no matter how it all ends.
Hopefully, I can come back to the forum on a regular basis very soon. I really miss the blessing and encouragement I get from all of you.
Thanks for your prayers,
Mitzi

Hey mitzi, its great to hear from you again. I will definitely be praying for you and your husband. I went through the same struggle last year and it is very trying I know. I lost my father in law as well and he was my pastor and then we lost our business after his death and had to move. I know yall will be ok because God won't put more on you than you can bear, but sometimes its amazing how much we really can go through and still stay sane through it. I for one have really missed your presence on the forum and hope you can get back on the forum soon. Your very special to a lot of people and we will pray for you and your family.

Mitzi,

You're such an encouragement to us here on this forum and I, as well as many others, are glad to hear from you. Of course, we wish that it was under better circumstances, but thankfully we have God and one another to help and encourage us during such times. I will lift you and your husband up in prayer.

HI everyone,
Thanks for your comforting replies and your sincere prayers.
We pack up the Uhaul tommorrow to vacate this joint. Still don't know if we are going to lose it to foreclosure.
We are driving down state on Thanksgiving day. At least we'll be near our family then.
It's been a real rollercoaster ride these past few days. First a glimmer of hope and then it usually gets shot down.
The only thing I can say to all of this is:
"The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."
And......
I'd rather go through this trial any day than endure a really bad OCD flare. I know that many of you know exactly what I mean.
Love you guys,
Mitzi

Oh Mitzi I'm so sorry you're having such an awful time...you've been such a blessing on this site and I pray God blesses you now in ways you can't even yet imagine! Yes I do know what you mean about rather a life problem than OCD! Hope you benefit loads from being near your family...hugs and love...Rachel
