• 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

you sweet little butterfly. everyone has mental pain. everyone copes differently. my hubby deals mentally. i deal physically. no wonder ED is easy for us.
i love my hubby to tell me the way he thinks. i get coping ideas from him. one thing he tells me, is no matter how hard i want to do something... wait. the answers become clearer. so when i feel my brain getting into a crisis i try to wait not OCD (obsessive compulsive).. and it works. this has helped me more than once. anyway, don't be afraid, ashamed or dissapointed in who you are... instead, learn to work with it. find other ways to practice filling in the gaps.

I kind of agree with the move.
But at the same time ... I think that it should be in recovery too. As should the self injury support. We ARE in recovery, or trying to be, and I guess it doesnt really matter where this forum is as long as it IS here, and as long as we are still posting here and striving to get better. But the move to Mental Health isnt meant to change anything about EDs and recovery. Its just another label. I dont know if that makes any sense whatsoever?

Katie.
