• 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 am glad that in hearing what happened to me you have learned a valuable lesson. Even though what I went through was terrifying, if it has helped someone else see the world in a different way, then it was worth it.

Maybe you could use me as an example if it helps. I get annoyed sometimes with people, but I would never, ever hurt someone. I am sure the man that got upset was no different.

Anyway, hang in there. We all have our ways of dealing with these issues, sometimes it just takes a while to work out how. It took me a while, but once you break through it you become a much stronger person. Trust me, you will get there.

Don't get me wrong, I do understand where the motorcyclist was coming from, because I too have gotten mad at drivers who have had their brights on because its incredibly hard to see, but I would never ever turn around and yell at someone like what he did to me. I felt really bad that I had forgotten that my brights were on, and I appologized for that, but the way that man talked to me was enough to scare any person. I don't know that the man would ever have hurt me, he may be a very nice guy, but scaring me like that, I knew that he could hurt me.
