• 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

Hey guys. I just have to vent a little and ask for prayer. Things are not exactly great at home and it has been tough. I have been doing better in general and attending group, counseling with pastor, and regular therapy. I have stayed offline more and utilized new coping skills. Still its hard and sometimes I want to be all healed up and it takes time. I feel people do not understand me. I am put down on a daily basis by my brother. My family is drama and they just dont treat me well. To top it off, my great aunt and cousins I go to church with are moving to NC in June. I am sad, lonely, having rough time, feeling defeated praising Christ through tears and sorrow. Trying to tell myself I am a good person. That it will be okay. I just need prayer. I know I am getting better but I am a sensitive person and I used to think people shouldnt say that this is how they just are but honestly, it is who I am. Sorry for any mistakes I am using my phone.

Heavenly father, I pray that you would wrap your arms around her and let her feel your comfort and peace. Please be with her and help her through this time and I pray that you would fill the loneliness she feels by bringing some amazing christian friends into her life. Let her feel your presence and to truly know she is never alone because you are always with her. In Jesus name :amen:

Thank you so much. It has been a rough day but thankfully, I have therapy tomorrow then church Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. I need prayer not to go into isolation mode. When I take steps back, I sit, dwell, isolate at times, put myself down then struggle to move forward. I believe God is loving and understanding but I don't want to get stuck in a rut. Please know I pray for you guys and am truly grateful for your support and understanding.

Praying for you Cally. Just wondered if there is any way you can get your own place to live where you don't have to be treated poorly. I really feel for you. My family put me down all the time especially my brother. I am fortunate to live on my own alone. I would probably yell at those who treat me bad. Not proud of it but it vents.
