• 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.

  • 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

a big THANK YOU

I want to let you know how much I appreciate everything you have shared here. My mother has been diagnosed with bipolar and is currently going through an EXTREMELY bad spell. My family and I don't really know how to handle it and have been researching intensely.

Coming here and reading your testimonies and struggles has given me great insight and some additional confidence in helping my mother. :)

You never know how powerful your words can be, but they are a huge blessing to me. That along with God's grace will see us through this and get my mom back on track so that she can live her life and serve the Lord.

THANK YOU!!!!!!

Hope your mother starts improving. THANK YOU for being a family member who is out trying to find ways to support someone in your family with BP; many of us can share stories of denial, rejection or abandonment at the hands of family members because of the diagnosis - BiPolar is extremely difficult to handle to begin with, but having the support of family and friends can really make the difference.
