• 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 was molested as a child and I was raped at the age of 21. I spend years suffering with fear anger hatred paranoia...you name it. You all know bc its the same hell that we all go through because of something like this.

My therapist changed my life. I believe God lead her to say the right thing to me at the right time to help heal me from my suffering as I came into therapy needing help to let go of the pain of these things.

She asked me, "are these things happening to you now?" And I said "no of course" and she said something along the lines of "well then its time to move on..." at first I was a little miffed like she wasn't taking me seriously but then I realized that she took me more seriously than anyone ever did...

Its the here and now. Its a new day. The horrible things we all went through are OVER. thats the best part, the only good thing about the nightmare. Its over. even though we might think about it, or dwell on it, or think we see them everywhere. Its OVER its really over.

So its time to stop letting it own us. Let is go. Just let God take it from you. Stop killing your self everyday of your life over something that happened in the past. JUST STOP IT. PLEASE JUST STOP.

you survived. Let yourself thrive in Gods light.
