• 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

Recovering from depression is truely a process. It's day by day, week by week, and eventually, month by month. I think I'm still in the day by day stage now...I hope that passes soon. If you're thinking about giving up, try first day by day, then go to church on Sunday, then it will start going week by week. I find I feel better today than I've felt in a long time. It keeps getting better, so if you think you're depressed, know that God has so much in store...for each and every one of us...depressed, not-depressed, young, old, rich, poor, shy, outgoing. :) It's all there for each and every one of us...if only we are willing to take on His challenge. And, that challenge is to keep Him in mind each and every day...to face our so-called challenges, and to move on towards the light...towards a better relationship with Him. YAYYYYYY!!!!! I'm excited!!! :) And content...no matter where I'm at, or what state I'm in.

It's so very true. Right now at I'm at the hour by hour stage. I gave up a long ago, though. I went from the little smart kid with lots of potential to a high school drop out- good for nothing. It's been ages since I've been outside. I'm doing nothing to get better; everything I try doesn't work. And my relationship with God has been so...messed up lately. I haven't been to church for months now.

Life is beautiful, right? ********!!!!!

Wow, I think I really identify with you Derwhat. Life is so...confusing at times. Yes, I was a "smart" kid too...LOL Now I'm just a...confused kid. Hmmmm...reality is beginning to set in for me, and it's not looking good at the moment..uggg... I guess as you get closer and closer to happiness and God...usually "high" school...lol then you get the...urging to just go all out I guess. I never realized that life just didn't really work that way. Now I'm sitting here typing and just wondering what is going on...lol Either I'm waking up or falling back asleep...lol AHHHH Or both...now that's a scary thought. I'm not trying to be the funny guy here...I'm trying to be the awake (and lucid) one...lol Ugh, I'm so behind...lol
