• 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.

UFOs = unattached females only

I started a UFO group at my church last September. There were about 6 members, two of them fairly newly widowed.

Since then, there have been 6 more widows at our church. I never imagined that this would become a grief support group. A UFO group I had been a member of previously had been mostly divorced women.

I feel challenged - and unprepared - for dealing with the needs of these ladies.

I ask for your prayers.

Thanks, Anneke

Anneke, you have had a good iniciative with this UFO, I'm sure God has guided you where you are and will still guide you through it. I understand what these ladies are feeling now since I lost the man with whom I planned to spend the rest of my life almost 3 months now... and believe me that just being heard and understood is a great deal... I'm sure you are helping them more than you have imagined. I pray God guides you and that this ladies may find strength dealing with their grief.
Blessings
