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.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

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.
why can't i get over this

How alone and scared you must feel. 
What held me back from talking for so long was the horrible guilt and shame that I felt...that people would think I was a horrible person. Talking about it is so freeing and I learned that the guilt and shame I had wasn't mine to carry...it was the assaulter's.
Feel free to PM me anytime. I'm praying for you.

Hi,
I am sorry that you are struggling. Abuse is not any easy thing to get over. I wondered when I would ever "get over it." I would say that I have healed a lot, but of course I will never, ever forget about it. It just doesn't hurt as much as it used to, and God has brought me to a place where I can truly live again.
If you are struggling in school and do not have anybody to talk to, you really do need to talk to someone you trust. I know it's hard to open up about this, but you should really try to. Perhaps a guidance counselor at school or an older adult you trust? I am not sure where you are in school, but if you're at college, they often times have free, confidential counseling services on campus.
Please feel free to PM me as well. Do not feel like you have to go through this alone.
in Him,
Iris

Please get someone who understands to talk to. That is too much to carry on your own. Take up the offers to PM.

I know it is very difficult, and my thoughts are with you. Try to find someone impartial to talk to, a counsellor or the parent of a close friend. Sometimes you can't talk to your own family. If you can talk to your family, then that would be a great recourse, but I know that sometimes that isn't possible.

Dear Alonenhurting,
It is important that you talk to someone about this. I would suggest making an appointment with a professional that handles these types of cases.
I will pray that you overcome your fear in talking about this. Getting it out in the open will help you. In the meantime I will pray for you. Know that the Father loves you and understands the pain that you are in.
Love,
Paul
