• 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.

I just stopped caring again. I posted originally because I knew some hard times were coming, like being stuck on the railroad tracks with a stalled engine, and seeing the light, but instead of trying to out if my car was going to start, I pressed the locks and sat back, waiting.

My life was once based around hope, trying it with everything. I've been whittled too far. There's no point. Literally no point in trying for me. I don't post for sympathy-I post for a statement of declaration of my realization...some situations don't improve. You hit rock bottom and think it'd stop, instead it starts raining and the shovel you get tossed down whacks you in the head, before you dig deeper. Each shovel full of earth is another painstaking relapse, each pile forming a way to escape back up...but I've already sunk.

There's a reason people retake tests in school, and it's to get a passing grade next time.

You are not in a good place. But understanding support is just so hard to find. Formulas won't work for you. You need someone who will give you time, who will really listen without judging, who understands something of the depth and complexity of the issues you are facing, and can give practical counsel on what to do about them.

Cyberspace hugs don't really cut it, but that is where my heart is for you right now.
