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.

Hi bro, I also have autism. FYI Asperger's & Autism Forum is basically a sister site to this one. I can probably relate to some of your struggles. But I was never in the military or married. I just went though life keeping to myself and working a job that's easy to maintain.

I want to say first, thank you for your service. Secondly, it must be hard to deal with such diagnosis on a daily basis but I commend you; you have made it this far. I pray for you that you continue your walk with Christ and you find the Christian Church home God wants you to be a part of.
My Husband also a veteran and if you need anything at all I will be around.

I was in the Army over 50 years ago. Things are different now. People would spit on you then. Even out of uniform, the haircut was a give away.
Aspergers can result in an analytic perspective that inhibits the seamless social interaction that many have.
As a result, one can feel like a perpetual outsider. This may result from our neurology (faster, more complex, or sensitive neurology). However, there are others who also find themselves outside the normal social currents like;
Combat veterans
Emergency room nurses
Abuse victims
Cops
Pastors
Ex-cons
Anyone forced to experience harsh realities.
Those of us on the fringe may fall short of plunging into the superficial, but we often have a capacity for deeper connections.
