• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 am standing on the edge of reason, mesmerized I do not dare to move. Yet I feel the sands and stones of sanity fall and break away under my feet. I almost embrace the reality of knowing that if I do not move, I will fall. I will fall off the edge of reason into an insanity that I cannot comprehend as of yet.

That's beautiful. I love the language you've used to describe how you're feeling. It makes it much more vivid and real.

Anyways, I want you to know that I am praying for you. After all, God can help you a lot more than I can! ;) :prayer:

Thank you all for your prayers - they are greatly appreciated.
I love words. They to me are my voice of expression.
You have a great talent for words....I simply loved the way you expressed yourself......That is very commendable....Words, if chosen accurately and beautifully crafted together shall bring forth such immense power and effect on others...You have that gift.....A gift you can use to encourage and help people....... so cheer up, be happy and be at peace with yourself just as you should always be with God! I, myself was feeling the exact way like how you described but when I read your voice, I felt good....That's the effect you had on me....So take heart and rise, my dear!

dear lonelypilgrim, it is indeed my greatest pleasure to have made you feel joyful.....really! You made me so happy as well. My heart smiles with yours. Compassion, I shall willingly give. A good listening ear, I shall always be ready to lend. Shoulders, I shall offer always for you to cry on should you need. PM me, if you feel like it. Am here, right here waiting. I do so would like to hear more of your voices of expression coz they indeed can cheer me up as well. Really love your talent for such a gracious and effective tool - words! ;)

A voice is nothing but a voice unless it laces itself with precise meaning coupled with truth, joy and love. It is how the words are used that create the very context that penetrates into the hearts of all.....that matters most. And words, if not used properly can also hurt and cause much destruction just like our tongues..............I said it before, I say it again: You have great power in manipulating words, don't ever let that go to waste, dearie!
