• 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

ANYWAY i was advised to start another account by a dear dear friend. SO I did...but AGAIN my emotions took over....WELL I was advised by a DEAR family friend to COOL IT from CF for a while SO I DID and I felt as if I got somewhat "tougher" SO I came back.... things have changed in my life AND i am trying to do what CHRIST would want me to do.... BE LIKE HIM when feel that my feelings get hurt!.... OR just do as my dear family friend says...... TAKE A BREAK from CF!

sometimes when I get in tough talks with other people, I delete their pms to me. I don't read stuff I feel will probably be anger attack, especially when I pray. Sometimes people will surprise you though, you can tell if they take it to heart by their later replies to you, if they are nice or not.

people can be cruel, and sometimes people talk in anger and say mean things. Some people just flat out lie. I don't listen when I feel they are going to reply in anger, especially when I share something truthfully. Then I delete all incoming attacks :) and report as needed.

Jesus says to talk to others when they sin against you. Matthew 18:15. If someone hurts your feelings, you should pm them and share, or just report it if it is too mean, and say that is offensive, hurtful, etc. And pray and let God give you strength, or just let Him have your weakness too :)

Hey INFJ,

I hope you're doing better today.

I know anxiety can bring on some low self-esteem.

I also want to tell ya, I think your help in my posts sounds like a very confident person.

Maybe when you're helping others,
You feel better about things,

Chuck.
