• 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

What are alters?

I encourage you to start seeking the Lord very earnestly. We honestly cannot help you but the Lord can. If you are having suicidal thoughts please go to the hospital.

Praying that the Lord will heal you, dear one. Please know that the Lord deeply loves you and wants only the best for you. Trust Him and in His love for you.

I do agree with Leslie B however, if you are having suicidal thoughts, please go to the hospital immediately and get help.

You are precious to the Lord. May He bless you and protect you and give you peace (Numbers 6:24-26) :)

Yours in Christ,
David

Hi.... I believe you. I'm sorry you're going through a rough time right now. It's an especially difficult time for many abuse survivors. Take extra care. I'm here listening and praying for you. Sending lots of caring... and gentle hugs, if okay. ((( hugs )))

Few seem to understand DID, even skilled mental health workers. Cutting is common, often due to specific conditioning by the abusers. When a part 'takes over' you don't even know what is happening. No amount of' will power' can help you with that.
