• 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

You know this may sound crazy but I have been doing some healing and working on myself and you know what? Thank you Jesus for these hard times. I don't like that I was abused but you know what? I think it helps me to relate to others and someday it may come in handy. It helped me find strength and it helped me to find Jesus.

So while I do not ever condone it and didn't enjoy it, I wouldn't be where I am today if it didn't happen. So to anyone who ever did it to me: I pray for you. And I will never ever put up with it again. I hope you work on yourselves and I hope you come to know Jesus and change your lives. I am done letting this rule me. I am a good person with a good heart I just am in a difficult time that's all. You wanted to hurt me it's okay I forgive. Thanks for making me stronger.

I want to get out there in life and make an impact. I refuse to be some meek little mouse hiding from the world, flinching at every quick movement. The Lord is working on me. I just had to say this. And so the healing process starts.

May the Lord touch all of your needs.
