• 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 think i'm having my weekly crisis. i can feel myself breaking down...lol it seems like the only way i can survive this breaking down process is just by getting on here and writing out what i feel and then each week attending church, as hard as that is sometimes. i know it's the best thing for me though. anyways, yes, i'm having my weekly breakdown right now, but i'm feeling a little better. just wanted to write and update...thanks everyone!

God knows what's goin in your life. he knows what you're going thru. the best thing is he knows all about tomorrow!! so, be ready for that. leave today behind. embrace a new day. let him lift you up and take all your burdens or whatever's goin on off of your shoulders. give it all to him. hang in there! know i'm praying for you.

Thanks for your support Rain and chillibowl your questions are frank and straight-forward. I'm just now getting in and I have time to sit down and respond to my last post and to your questions. Now that things have seemingly cleared up SLIGHTLY and things are beginning to make more sense...lol No, I do not want to continue this behavior. Everything is starting to get to me and I realize now that my own sinful behavior is what is breaking me...or rather what is changing my behavior (breaking may be the wrong word/term). I understand why you ask the questions you do chillibowl. I really really apoligize if my...writing seems too...academic, wordy, etc. I'm trying to express myself but it's just not happening yet, I'm sorry. Anyways...thank God I'm clearing up a little bit...lol That's all I have right now...I'll post more a little later on in the week.

I'm not sure what your struggling with, but it seems to come and go, if that's the case. do you have a mentor or a father like figure that you can go to? If you are still 20, realise you still have alot to adjust to, and if all of that is compounded by "Sin" then It can make for some really difficult living.. It sounds like you're a real busy person, and could benfit from haveing a mentor. one that knows your back ground and one that doesn't have to be caught up everytime you have a hard time with life or with your "Sin" If you don't have one then make a request at you local church... I think it's very Important that you get someone you know and respect well.

I seem to have similar problem as you too. I have my weekly break down from time to time. I would feel better for a while after attending church.

Look up to God!
When you experience this again, SING!
Sing a song to praise the Lord, to ask for God's help, to feel God's love, anything.

This really helps!

Hope you feel better.

Pray for you :prayer:

Thank you so much...all of your comments and words are extremely helpful to me. And yes, I currently do have a father figure/mentor in my life so things are much easier now. I think the important thing is to keep going on His path and just don't look back! lol As many times as we want to look back at our mistakes, failures, etc...just don't! lol They don't matter because "love covers a multitude of sins." Thank you all for your words and comments throughout this difficult year for me.
