• 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

We are overcomers...

Hi guys :D

I'm Steve and have been on this site for about a year or so now. I have just noticed this forum and want to offer you all comfort. I used to have OCD really severely for the best part of 9 or so years growing up (washing my hands). It totally ruined my life as a teenager and had such a hold on me that I was barely able to function.

At 18 I found Christ and slowly through months and months of prayer, I finally handed everything over to Him and gave Him my problem. It was then that He lifted OCD from my life bit by bit. I have been totally free from this now for 10 years or so and just wanted to encourage you that God is faithful to help you endure and overcome anything of this world :thumbsup:

If any of you want me to send you my testimony, then please just PM me. It's not for my own glory, but for the Lord and saviour, Jesus Christ who saved me.

God Bless,
Steve ;)
