• 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.

What are you thankful for??

I'm thankful for the little laughs every day ... for the miracles that you suddenly stumble upon ... for sunshine on frosty windows ... ethereal cloud formations ... dusky rose evenings ... moonshine on the snow ... handknit socks ... red & black anything ... tofu smoothies made just right, so there aren't any little bits :)doh: didn't do that right today...) ... hugs and kisses on the forehead and loving nicknames ... sunsets and sunrises ... the way the clouds are pink in winter right before the sun rises ... dewdrops on the grass ... bare feet ... mud between my toes ... catching in words elusive things that usually go unnoticed ... the feeling of accomplishment after finishing homework or completing any task ... hands larger than mine that feel safe to hold ... my fiance for not caring if people stare at us for doing silly things ... well, my fiance for many things!! ... and soft, quiet evenings when I can sit on the porch and read without mosquitoes or flies buzzing 'round.
