• 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

Imagine you are locked up in a room what helps more, whining about it that you are locked up in a room, or a key to get out? Use your energy that you are investing into cutting yourself into solving the problems that you have.

Darling, listen carreer,diploma's ,school, money ,high positions in life, they all mean NOTHING, the only thing that really matters in your life is your loving intereaction and the love that you show others. Be very harsh against the problems that you have, it's all about APPROUCH ing them in the correct manner , use the right key to open the door, and you will be able to leave the problem behind you.

convinced101, I use to be majorly depressed. Suicidal, the whole works. I'd get so mad at the world and so down on myself that I'd just pound myself in the head. I've given myself concussion and even knocked myself out before. It's not something I even think about doing--it's just like a reflex. Hard to stop. But I have. I've gotten serious about writing, I've gotten other forms of art to try and it's all helped. I still catch myself smacking myself every now and then, but hey, who doesn't?

I posted here to say this, though. At 17, I Thought my problems were life-ending. 9 years later, I'd like to have it all to do over again. Life changes, just hang in there and make the most of it.
