• 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.

Yesterday, I was trying to memorize a Bible verse Isaiah 12:2. As I was repeating the verse my voice began to drop and I started shaking. Then I lost control of my words and something took control of my mouth and told me that it didn't want me to say the verse. This is not the first time something like this has happened. I listened to a rap song (Chiraq ). I was repeating the lyrics. All of a sudden, my voice dropped and I lost control of my words

I have difficulty with prayer. When I pray at home I feel constriction around my voice. I don’t say much but I always recite a Bible verse or two. When my pastors ask church to pray in the Spirit I can't because if I try something will take control of my voice and speak gibberish.



I feel like limited because of I what I face. I take my medication and my symptoms still manifest.

Shout this verse right now as you read it brother.

I REBUKE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST!

Revelation 20:10
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.

Keep praying. The Lord's prayer when you wake up and before you go to sleep.

If you would like to know a very short but powerful prayer, "Lord Jesus Christ, son of God, have mercy on me a sinner".

Maybe writing prayers can help. I have schizoaffective disorder(similar to schizophrenia) which gives me big focus problems like yours. Writing helps me a lot sometimes. Also the Bible says the Holy Spirit prays for us when we are struggling with prayer. God is with you in every step of this fight and if your faith is like the mustard seed, persistently growing you'll get better little by little.
