• 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

hey, yes your hempcrow is just alittle down. see i've been tryin to become friends more n more with this kid in my art class. his name is jhayson. he's legally deaf. anyway ive got him in this class and when he not at school it worries me and when he is i kinda feel cool about the whole thing there. anyway, this class is only a semesterlong class and he's not following our group into ceramics next semester. i've been praying and asking the Lord to let me get to know this guy more and i've driven him home once and that was even an answered prayer from God. the thing is, i feel like i'm losing time, and all i know about him is how he can't read and that he lives half the distance from school that i do, and that i really radically love him but as Christ would have me love him. i swant to keep in touch over the summer and the rest of the school year, but i don't want to seem weird asking for his home and cell #. what should i do? i don't want to let this friendship slip away without even having a grasp on it in the first place.

I am a very direct person. I would tell him exactly what you wrote here. Why beat around the bush? If he thinks you are weird, so what? Just tell him that for some reason unknown to you, the Lord has laid Him upon your heart, and you really want to be friends with him. I bet this guy doesn't trust very easily and that is why he is being so standoffish. I think he will appreciate your honesty.
