• 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

Walking in the darkness.

I've just come out of situation that was difficult. I moved 1000 miles to take job that would allow me to be closer to family and ended up working for someone who hated God and Christians so much that when he found out I was a Christian, he started making comments and then escalated his behaviour to the point that for my own safety I had to quit my job and move in with family until I could find another.

It was a very hard situation and although I'm in a new job now, I can still feel the self-doubt and depression hanging over me. I'm very thankful that God brought me through the trouble, but I can't seem to shake the pain of what happened. I work odd hours so its hard to find a church and most of the people I work with aren't believers. I don't know very many other people.

God just seems so far away.

That sounds horrible! <3

I wouldn't be surprised if you were having some post traumatic stress. I'm sorry that those things took place.

Thankfully you were able to find a safe place of refuge with ppl that you can trust even though things have been difficult lately.

It may not seem like it but it looks like YHWH is very close and making provisions for you. :)

Sending u love!

I try to ask Jesus every day to give me a positive attitude and help me let go of the harm done to me and pray for those who have hurt me. I still suffer from depression but the praying to Jesus for a good day one day at a time helps me. I'm praying for you.
