• 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 do not know if there is any in New York City, I know there was one in State College, PA known as Abba House.
Wow, State College,

That's not too far from where i live.

Maybe an hour and a half.

If i knew you were there i would have baked you a cake.

I've been to New York City several times.

I'm sure there are, but it's a big place to look.

Chuck.

Find out where there are other churches in your area and visit them and see where you feel comfortable and where you can meet people your age.
You can't expect other people to talk to you first. Try approaching people and asking simple questions, like what activities they have for young adults etc. Being too desperate also doesn't help and it tends to chase people away.

I hope you do find friends, I'm in a si milar situation so I know how you feel.

:hug:

Dear Members:
I am 25 years old and extremely lonely. I live with my mother and sister, but I need friends. I need love in my life, that it hurts even telling you about it. I met a couple of ladies at the church that I been attending, but there is so bonding that feel from these ladies. When look at me they wonder why I do not smile a lot. The reason is that I feel empty and I do not think God understands. I feel this way not because of the holiday season, I feel this way because of this empty feeling in my heart. Not being able to connect with another woman not having a male friend. Do not know where to go other church to find friends. Does any one have any advice for lonely yound woman who is in a crisis right now.
I'll pray for you. :prayer: I'm in a similar situation myself.

I am not part of any gyms, and I do not have the time right now to join a bible study.

Yes learn how to smile, it's human nature to want to be around people who are up in life, have you not ever noticed how people move away from others who are alway down, they are afraid you will bring them down. The Doors will open for you when you take charge of you. Its a state of mind. God is there, open your self up to him, and you will find peace, love, then guess what....you will smile...

I smile a lot, I just think that something is wrong with me and I put a wall around myself.

Have you tried Craigslist? They have social groups that go out and do stuff together. I know that they have a lot of co-ed sports leagues if you're into that. I've also seen knitting clubs and other such groups looking for members.
I am not really interested in that website. Thank you for your help.
