• 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

Well I don't know how you guys feel at times but I have OCD and I have different forms of it at times not really extreme but I have to watch myself and many times I wonder if I am really saved or not and if I am even if I have genuine faith or superficial. Every time I read the bible and certain passages about warnings I always feel thats me and that I start to worry about it. Like for example when I read the book of revelation at the end where it says outside are the cowards etc I always get scared and feel like I am a coward and would fall in a situation like that. Also with the constant thoughts of many things not good the travling mind etc I always get scared just like you guys so your not the only ones here. I pray for you guys the Lord will help you though all this I know I need his help more then I can explain. Hang in there guys.

Hi everyone: I get that too. I have ocd and some of the things I read in the blessed word of God cause me to have panic attacks. Can u believe that? I'm just glad I found this sight because I was feeling like the worst christian in the world. I'll pray for all of us; that God may give us the strength to overcome this. God Bless.

I have it pretty bad. :cry: Those of you having panic attacks and feeling like Scripture is prophesying specifically against you, I know how you feel. It's been horrible, but I'm hoping in the end it will bring me closer to the Lord. Be strong, all, and feel free to PM me if you want to talk more. I definitely will be a supportive ear. :)
