• 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'm so sorry that you're dealing with so much and feeling so stressed right now. Life can be so difficult at times. I don't know what you are going through, but God cares when we are hurting. Don't give up hope - God can change even the most hopeless situations. And when He allows us to experience difficult times for a while, He will work good things from these difficulties, if we trust Him. I will pray for you - for resolution of the problems you are dealing with, and for peace, comfort, and strength, while you are waiting for God to work in your life.

Hope. Hope against all hope. Hope like Abraham had when he was told he would be the father of a nation, even though he and his wife were old. Hope in Him and in his powers and not in what you can do. True hope.

As a Christian, you have every possibility of being an optimist. So feel crushed, embattled, bitter, etc. . . . but not because the future is hopeless. Only because the present is hard. And I have no doubt the present is hard for you.

Best wishes.
Adam
