• 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

wracking my brain to deal. shame makes me revert back to wat i've done to make things go bad,must be my fault but want to share something before i go cry again. how do u get letters and things out of your head that someone you love and want in your life wrote to another love of theirs but makes u feel really small and unimportant. things left for me to read have caused me so much hate,pain and deep heatbreak because we all know when u love someone and they express love(and other things!) openly,it stays with u when u read it. my mind says don't go back over them,i saved them,my friends say that should make u want to stay away from him but it works the opposite. it's almost foolish,my fighter side says no. i want this back and my emotional side says this is making me feel suicidal. how to get things out of your head is all i ask. maybe brain washing,is that possible?

So glad to hear from you again, sweetie... but sorry you feel so bad!

Getting things you wish you hadn't seen out of your head is incredibly hard... not sure it is even possible, to be honest.
But, things fade with time.
And we can renew our minds... by reading God's word, praising Him, and dwelling on the good things..

Whatever these letters made you feel sweetie, you are very precious to God, and very much loved. Hold on to that when things seem overwhelming, sis.
And PM me if you need to talk, k?

:hug: :hug:

I'm so sorry for how you're feeling. If you still have the letters, I recommend you burn them. Seriously. Get a few friends together if you like, then make a point of letting them go. Ask god, if it helps, to let you release these feelings that have you stuck, and then throw the letters into the fire. Let it go, sweetie. It's only got you stuck, and depression, in my experience, is stuck energy/feelings.

Hugs and best of luck to you.

I'm really sorry your feeling this way, I found a letter from someone I really cared about and once felt the same a little while ago but couldn't bare to read it. I know how you feel so you can always PM me if it helps. I agree with GriffinSong, burn them! I as you see them burn away imagine all the pain and hurt burning away with it. Hope that helps!!
God Bless
