• 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

I just please ask for your prayers. I am grieving so terribly over the lost of a three year friendship and the news that my job of three years is being cut as of June 1st. I take two different antidepressants and I find I take Xanax and my husband's Vicodin just so that I don't have to "feel" anymore. Numbness is all I want to feel anymore. Been fighting this battle with clinical depression and anxiety on and off for over 30 years now. I am so beyond tired of this! Everytime it seems I am starting to feel like my old self again, another terrible event comes along and I'm knocked right back down to the pits of hell. I am so overwhelmed in my life right now as I've had a series of terrible events happen to me since last September. I don't want to feel hopeless about the future-but I am at a lost right now. thank you for listening. Lori:crossrc: :cry:

If you're battling with guilt it sounds you may have done something to break up the friendship? I'm just asking because I did something terrible to a very good friend and I felt so guilty I didn't speak to him for two months. When I finally got the courage to talk to him I discovered that he'd already forgiven me and was waiting for me to talk to him first. Maybe your friend will forgive you too, even though you might not think so. Maybe I'm not on the right track but whatever happened I hope there's a chance that your friendship will be restored.

Father, only you know the needs of this dear lady. I ask that you come and abide in her and give her hope where there seems to be no hope. Lord change her circumstances, break the bondage of guilt and let her dwell in peace. Fill her with joy and peace, give her a new mind filled with awareness and excitement about a new day, a new life, a new love for you. Let her become Jesus minded and be so filled with your love she is overcome with excitement of sharing your word and love with all who come in contact with her. In Jesus name I pray. amen
