• 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 just feeling so totally overwhelmed atm and i need to get this out so please bear with me.

I have been dealing with triggers from every angle and its just gotten 10 times worse.

I hurt my shoulder on friday and went and saw the doctor about it and he said that if the pain is still there that on friday he wants to give me a needle ... HUGE trigger because my perp was a) an insulin diabetic b) used it to silence me when he r***d me and i can't stand needles at all let alone anything near my neck which is a massive trigger spot.

A friend of mine was talking about needles and about how he didn't mind being jabbed with them by the dr when he went and got his travel needles and just wouldn't take the hint that it was bugging me at all. Until i had to say to him look this isn't a very safe convo for me to be having at all and then he gets cut at me for telling him to stop it.

I am so scared about having the needle on friday - it would be my first needle in over 2 yrs and i am petrified.

A movie i woke up in the middle of this afternoon really triggered me because it was about R*** as well and then i dozed back to sleep and i wake up to the oprah show showing the "Molested by a priest" show. Got to love my lil sis watching daytime TV.

and now i can't stop crying ... I am so emotionally and physically drained and i just need someone to hug me and tell me thats its all going to be ok... because atm I'm just so overwhelmed that i don't feel like it will be tonight :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

If i could be there next to you now hun i would be giving you a BIG hug....i know a virtual hug means very little, but with the best intetions i shall give you one anyways :hug:

Am so sorry that all these triggers are happening at once, its a hard thing to deal with, i am going through the same at the moment, and my only refuge has been the on going distraction of being on sims...not the best idea but i need to get out of reality and forget myself. Keep holding on hun, things will get better.

Will be praying that you wont need the needle on friday.

It will all be ok hunny. It really will. Just keep trusting in god.

aww, angel, I'm soo sorry you're going through this!I know this is hurting you loads! you know what, I made myself get over my fear, I'm suggesting yuo do this cos it's really painful and soo not a good idea, but I was afraid because when I was little, this was for like 2 years, starting from the age of 4, my Dad made me watch filmd of people being tortured, and I know it's really different, but ever since then, I was scared of needles, I just said to God, look, for me to go through with the dream you have put on my heart, and I know it's a few years untill I have to worry about nijections, but it's annoying me know, lease, just help me to get over my fear, help me to do this, and I sat there, putting needles in my arm, and I know it was ony God's strength that enabled me to do that. I was really scared, but God took away my fear from me.

I'll be praying for you! I hope this all goes well for you angel! I know this must be hard and I pray that you will be ok, and able to face the fears that are in you, that the Devil will have no hold over you with these fears!

let me know how it goes, k? God bless angel, it will be ok, and as I can't come down there and give youa big hug, I'll give you internet hugs!
:hug: :hug: :hug: :hug:

Dear sweet Shaz,

I am going to pray for you everytime I think of it for the next few days. Consider it a satelite dish pointing from me and Jesus to YOU dear sweet soul.

I love you for all the caring and sharing that you do around here. I wish to support you in prayer from the bottom of my heart.

The Lord hears you, He knows Your needs, He gently asks You to trust His wisdom in facing You with these triggers, allowing them into Your environment. He knows that Your need to lean on Him right now is urgent. He is reaching out His heart and bending to take your pain and carry it for you. He will rock you gently to sleep...may He send you a touch of perfect peace, every moment that you stir...be enveloped in His kindness and adequate arms.

sweet sweet dreams and perfect rest to you, dear heart. Love, Sha
