• 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

Hey, this might seem a strange question but I was woderin if this has ever happened to anyone else?

The last couple of weeks I have been feeling better...better than better actually!:) I feel like I did before i started all this kind of stuff i feel...normal(for want of a better way of putting it) Its really wierd-its like someone just "switched off" the urges! I just havn't been gettin them the last wee while. Its not even like other times when I've been coping better, other times I've always had a wee, nagging anxiety that the feeling will come back...this time...nothing! 'tis strange!:scratch: Its not even like much has changed....if anything my sitaution is worse!I wasnt trying to quit...

Has anyone else ever been like this? Is it likely that the urges will come back at some point?

Finnx

Sorry I can't answer any of the questions you asked, but I reckon Praise God that the urges are gone! And enjoy the freedom... don't think too much about it... don't dwell on the thought that they may come back... Be in the present & thank God for this miracle!:angel:

All my love & prayers,
Celtic

Finn88: Enjoy not having the urges, thoughts, or impulses. Do not dwell on the waiting for "it" to suddenly come pounding down on you. Focus like Celtic Camel said on the present. I would add the future too. Do you have goals to work toward. They can even be improving your mental health. Humans tend to be what they think. If you "think" that what has left you is going to return, then it just might. Occupy your mind & your heart with more positive things. You'll be surprised at how much you will continue to improve. Celebrate the work that you are doing because it isn't easy. But you are doing it!!! Keep it up. mamalonglegs
