• 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I know that feeling...I often just wanna scream at my youth leader when were talking about how things are going because it feels like nothing ever changes and my life is just staying in the same place. The thing to remember, if u can, is that God is at work in ur life every day, he cares about u too much not to! And if ppl don't call I can understand why that could make u feel bad...I don't know if this will help but if they don't call u why don't u try calling them...it's probably not cause they don't like u just that they don't think...and hey if u ever want to rant to me ur welcome to do that i like to listen to ppl x susanna x

I've been feeling the same way since I finished college. It's like you're trying desperately to fit into a world that doesn't really care whether or not you're there. And I've never been very good at dealing with boredom.

But hang in there, and just keep reaching out to people. Eventually things will start to pick up.

And definitely call people. If you never call them, how are they supposed to know that you're not busy with more important things?

We're here for you Soyness.
I know it may sound really funny to you, but if you keep reaching, you'll find the one He needs for you to meet. The friend(s) that will make it feel better, the people that can really help you. I felt that way, and I ws told the same thing...and you know what? I found them. they are incredible people and I am so glad we found each other. You can PM me anytime and I promise I will reach out to you just as often...if not more

It just shows them that you are interested in whatever is going on. It's kind of a subtle reminder that you're around and want to be included.

Also, you could try putting something together. Come up with something to do or somewhere to go. It doesn't have to be anything complicated. See if anyone wants to get something to eat, go to a bar (am I allowed to suggest that here?), a movie, see if any decent bands are playing smaller venues in the area, just about anything. Find something specific to throw out as a possibility, then start calling people and see if anyone is interested. When someone agrees, ask if they know anyone else who would want to go.

Everyone likes having something to do, and they're always looking for someone to suggest something. Figure something out, and see if you can generate some interest.

You can handle this, I have complete confidence in you. Check the paper in the morning, find something going on this weekend, and make some calls.

There are good people out there. Choose a different bunch. Have a flower.

I have a friend who always tell me cherr up and enjoy it while you can--cause things will get worse (meaning as you get older).
