• 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

1. Went to the gym today and worked out hard, even though I gained weight and was really discouraged.
2. Went shopping and bought only what I needed, a feat in itself!
3. Caught up with a friend on the bus
(and a 4, cause why not?) Talked to my landlord about moving into another apartment in the building.

1. Recognised that freaking out feeling at the shops, before it really started and came home before I got bad. I am about to go back to the shop again now. It won't be quite so busy.

2.Got to have a rest this afternoon

3. Got to listen to our church message that I'd missed the other week, while sitting waiting for my daughter at tennis today.

Yesterday: 1. I didn't worry too much about work (it took some effort, but I managed to avoid spending the day feeling panicked) 2. My dog is still doing well after his surgery 3. Evidently Kirk has some sort of surprise for me that I will be finding out about in around 10 days :scratch: :sorry:

Yesterday: Class was good/my teacher seems to like me, I got assigned into a group with someone I've had a lot of other classes with so I'm happy about that because he's a hard worker like me, and I enjoyed talking to Kirk for several hours on the phone/webcam.
