  • 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

    Cycling too fast.

    I'd consider it a mixed episode and rapid cycling. Not necessarily something to be anxious over, but good that you can see it happening and know it is not quite right. (Best to let the doc talk with you and help you to decide than to walk blindly for two months, you know?) Best of wishes...

    What is working for me

    Hi all! It's been a long time since I posted regularly here, but, I'm sure many of you can remember me. :) Anyway, I'm posting because I have some glimmer of hope that my doctor finally found for me, "The Miracle Drug". I have been taking Lithium since I was like 14 and that has never needed...

    Can anyone relate?

    Hi, Sarah! I LOVE your Call Name. (ThunderStormGirl) I had to go back up top and check a few times to be sure of what I was saying. Everything I read from what you say, "feels" something like Bipolar Disorder. That said, you may be experiencing any of a number of things. It may well be...

    muscle twitching

    I take Lithium and Geodon. I have muscle twitches and spasms in my face and arms and legs. I'd never really put much thought into it, but it would seem that many of the medications in our category are known in certain cases to produce these things.

    Imzadi

    That is wonderful, Laridy! Your husband sounds like an amazing man and you are lucky to have one another. My dear friend, Kail is one whom I consider to be Imzadi. She's walked with me through many of my darkest hours over the past 11 years and she always has words of wisdom and kindness to...

    Imzadi

    For those of you who have known me in the 2 1/2 years that I've been coming here and for those of you who don't know me at all, Imzadi is a beautiful, made-up word from a TV show. Imzadi means, "My Beloved". I have no particular beloved, as many people might agree with regard to...

    What are the odds of our children having Bipolar?

    DoubtingThomas29, I cannot personally speak to you about statistics. What I can tell you is that my Father is Bipolar and others in my Nuclear and Extended Family demonstrate symptoms among cousins, Aunts, Uncles and the like. I agree with your line of thinking that when noticed, with...

    Dandelions

    A friend of mine had some patches of weeds that she wanted to be rid of and we purchased a gallon-size container of Roundup that was rather uniquely formulated to fit my friends needs. She didn't want for her blackberry bushes or her pond, downhill from the location, to be negatively impacted...

    Depression causing doubts?

    When I get to being Depressive, as I actually have been recently, I am left to feel as though GOD, is an absentee Landlord. It took me 14 years of drinking and drugging and one year, here at The CF, to see that I've not been left behind. I had to lose 40% of my Liver function, in order to...

    depressive state: re-named: "family of bi-polars"

    Goldenviolet, you've got a number of things going on there and, since I find you to be so complex, I would like to make a statement on something that I share with you. That something is a matter of Obssesive Compulsive Disorder. I think, after a year of getting to know you, that what you...

    Rant!

    Calgar, if you're not Bipolar, you have no business here, with us. I suspect that you know better and are here in search of answers? I've been here for a year and know the sting of an, "Episode". Do you? I've been Bipolar for more than half my life and know that it can be difficult...

    Rant!

    caligar, many of us take medication. I'm no expert but, medicine is not frowned upon. It has been stated that the Rain Forests of South America may contain more species of life, that everything we have in documented history. Medicine is not something that GOD or Jesus described as being...

    God has a message for you homosexual offenders

    newguy101, My Brother's Husband, has been in China for weeks, trying to broker a deal. I honestly don't understand what takes us away from what we think to be Science and you will be cool, when you look around. I'm here for you, sir. Stephen

    All of a sudden

    I understand what you are getting at there. I am very honest with people whom I consider to be dear. I don't tell everyone from the street what are my maladies.. There is really no reason to consider your position, without considering it for yourself, or for knowing the sensitivity of other's...
