• 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 felt inspired to write this poem called "Homemade Pain.")

Homemade Pain
by me

It may seem weird but
The Lord said to me,
“There’s something
I want you to see.”
He set down a book,
I opened the cover,
Eager to have a look.

On the first page I saw
A girl with eyes full of tears
She was young but also
Wise beyond her years
Blood dripped down her arm
The victim of self-harm.

I turned the page and
Saw another girl doing the same,
Hundreds of pages filled
With photos of homemade pain.

I began to cry for them
Moved by sudden empathy,
He said, “Tell them how much I care.
Tell them the Lord can see.”

My reflection in the mirror
has no connection to myself
Im your sis and daughter
I'm zero
I'm a face from a place in hell
So say your prayers
Cos your gonna need em
to save your soul from nightmares

Wanna go for a ride?

Right the dark void
embrace the despair
the white doves are dead
theres only nightmares
Im intoxicated with madness
and in love with my sadness
come look where Ive been lets go lets go

Wanna go for a ride?
