• 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 Can Get Better!

I just wnated to start a thread as oppossed to just going around and replying to all your posts.

I was in bondage to chronic pain for about 5-6 years. I know how many of you feel, and I was losing hope. I wanted to tell you all that there is hope and I pray that you check into the work from Scott Brady and John E Sarno. Men who have had success in "treating" chronic pain. What they found out is that many people who suffer from chronic pain, do not have structural or physical problems, buut that the pain lies within the person's prsonality or tension in their lives. Check out Scott Brady's pain personalities and see if you fall into these categories.

What worked for me was finding more about my personalty, the goodist and people pleaser, and seeing how much tension that cause dme. It also helped me to see how much I repressed negative emotions, like anger. I wold confess them to God and slowly but surely the pain would start to go away. I believe this is worth looking into and if you have any questions, please let me know.

Hi 2scoops :wave: Thanks for this thread. I just sent my husband to the store to buy the book "Pain Free For Life". I hope they have it in stock. If I could get some relief from pain in just a few weeks, it would change my life completely. It's almost too much to hope for.
