• 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.

Been a tough couple of days and I saw this and thought I think I really need to do this to try and get a bit of prespective

1. A good friend dropped in unexpectedly to have a cuppa and to chat

2. I haven't had any real time pressure 'things' to do.

3. It hasn't been a really hot day today as expected.

Might come back later for some more...hehe

1. Got to spend a good deal of time making some cards today. Fun

2. My husband opted to go and do some grocery shopping for me. Nice break from the monotony...(hmmm although I wonder if there isn't some avoidance in that...)

3. I don't have to cook dinner tonight, nice when it's such a hot day.

Research has shown that people who wrote down 3 good things that happened to them at the end of the day increased their happiness significantly over a 6 month period. This is something I've already been doing a little of before I knew about the research, but I would like to make a point to do it every day now. Since I have an anxiety disorder, I sometimes find myself in the car on the way home remembering the embarassing or insecure moments of the day and worrying over those instead of concentrating on all of the positive things that happened. I think this would be a good exercise for me to learn to concentrate on the positive aspects of my day. So tonight I will be back here to report the good stuff that happened today! :)

Does anybody else want to join me? What are 3 good things that happened to you today?

What really helps me is when something stressful happens I take a moment and ask the Lord to renew my mind..and just that quick it's gone....Amen.

1. Came here and saw the last post...God is still on the throne. So needed that!

2. Had a very dear friend pop and chat with me on FB...someone who I can't talk with due to distance, phone issues etc. So that was very GOOD!

3. Hmmmm..struggling for a 3rd...maybe the last can count for 2 :)
