• 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.

I didn't realize it until last night when I was at my friends birthday party that I seriously miss my best friend (the priest that moved 35 minutes away--if some people do not remember the story or haven't heard it).

I just miss his positive energy...he is always so happy all the time..I miss having someone positive in my life all the time. I mean, he's still there, but i don't get to see him too much as I use to (i use to see him multiple times in a week).

He is the only positive and encouraging friend I have in my life. My other friend (the one whose birthday party I went to) is okay..but she is very negative a lot and every problem is like the end of the world to her. Like last night, her parents wouldn't let her have a beer, and she completely broke down and said, "this isn't fair" and whatnot. She was crying over that. She let that dump her down and depress her the rest of the party pretty much. I tried to pay no attention to it and tried to get her mind off of it. Sometimes it did work, but then sometimes it didn't.

Other then her and the priest I know, my circle of friends is pretty limited. I have friends on here, but they do live far. And I do have friends in school but they live 45 minutes away, so I don't get to interact with them too much. And there isn't too many young adults in my area either.

I dunno, i just miss this one friend. :sigh:
I dunno, I guess I was just ranting. I just needed to let this out. Thanks to anyone who actually read this.

I think it's good that you're sharing your loneliness with us. I know it isn't the same as having your friend there, but at least we can listen. I have some wonderful friends in my life, but when they are very busy sometimes I feel lonely and they aren't 45 mins away.

Are you able to go visit your friend that is far away? Do you ever write them letters and share with them how much you miss them?

I know I find it very special when someone thinks of me enough to write me the "old fashioned" way. ;) Maybe he could write you a letter that when you're missing him you could read. Even if you asked him to write you something, I think that would be okay.
