• 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

I know a lot of you are probably sick of hearing about the exfriend that hurt me so much in the past so apologies in advance if that is the case. However both of us used to post regularly on this other Christian message board until she stopped posting for several months. Well a couple of days ago she returned and from what I can see of her posts she is still as narcissistic as ever if not worse. However many of the other board members, including the Mods are falling over themselves to welcome her back. I can't help feeling hurt about this as one Mod in particular knows something of the issues I had with her in the past yet he, like so many of the others told her how WONDERFUL it was that she was back etc. In a way I can understand that as they have no quarrel with her (they don't know her like I do) yet I can't help feeling like I've been stabbed in the back. I know that is irrational and I wish I didn't feel that way. It also annoys me the way I am often ignored on the board yet as soon as this woman returns she is treated like a VIP. Moreover it now means I have to stop posting there as I just don't have the strength to deal with her again. I know I should be "bigger" than all this but I'm not. I feel angry and hurt partly because of the way everyone is treating her and partly because I am now being, albeit unintentionally "chased" off this board.:sigh::cry::mad::argh::nono:

Hi

I'm really sorry to hear that you're feeling upset at this person's return to the forum and feel like you won't be able to post there anymore. I don't know what happened, etc. but i hear your fear of being driven out and being alone, which seems unjust as you haven't done anything wrong.

I hope you will take care of yourself and post here if you need to.

Take care

x

Lasthope basically when I first became friends with this girl she was really sweet to me but she gradually changed and started putting me down and manipulating me and generally making me feel like a worthless piece of you know what. In the end I cut ties with her but I am still getting over it. Seeing her on that board brought back so much of the hurt and anger and it's got to the stage where I can't even look at the board because it makes me feel so angry and upset. I know in a way it is not the fault of the others as they didn't know what was going on, though a few of them knew something of it because I confided some of it to one of the Mods. Now he was one of them who welcomed her back with open arms. On top of this the discussion got round to this singer she is obsessed with and a TV series he was on and she joked that her fave line was when one character made a joke to the jist of if you've never heard of this singer you should kill yourself. Now I don't think this is remotely funny. No one should joke about suicide but she obviously found it hilarious (she's cold like that) yet to the best of my knowledge NO ONE CORRECTED HER FOR IT!!! It's like she's being treated like royalty and it stinks!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:

I understand that feeling Chococat. Been there before. Its terribly frustrating to see people who are full of themselves or are real meanies and people treat them like they're God's gift to humanity.

But its their fault. They have the blinders on. Its their own insecurities that makes them compelled to want to kiss their narcisistic but smelly feet.

Look at it this way: you know better. Be glad you are not part of that kissing her feet crowd. You're your own person. You get strength from within. You have truth on your side and can see through the facade.

In the meanwhile, here's a hug to make you feel better ----> :hug:

You gotta pity her, the mods, and those who found it hilarious. And I'll tell you - God is not one bit pleased. Stay away from that forum. In fact, don't go there anymore. You're too good for all of them.

I do pity this girl in a way as I know that she, like all narcissists, is riddled with insecurities and has very low self esteem. I also think she is troubled with demon issues. It's such a pity that she won't get help for her problems instead of taking them out on others. The thing is if you were to meet her she'd seem like a lovely person, maybe much nicer than I am, until you really got to know her:sigh:

Thanks to all who replied. It's sad that I don't feel able to go to that board though hopefully I will be able to return when I feel stronger but at the moment it's a no no especially now her friend who I also have issues with, mainly because she told me it was my fault that the first girl was mean to me (apparently I "drove her to it") is also posting there. The crazy thing is I keep checking on this board to see if these 2 girls are still there (they are) and it hurts me so much the way everyone loves on them.:sigh:
