Don't you hate it when people say this?! Sometimes I tell people about a difficulty or difficulties I'm having and then they ask if the drugs might be causing me these problems. Why would I take the drugs if they make me worse? I know people aren't stupid but it makes me wonder what they're thinking. Maybe it's because "drugs" are illegal and they all must be bad. The more time goes on the less I tell people about things which is sad. (This doesn't include my wife.)

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.
Are the drugs causing your problems?

It is definitely sad when people who have no clue ask that question. I have found that there are three types of people in this world. People who have no clue because they are not intimately related to, nor are they mentally ill, people who either work in mental health, or they have a family member or friend with a mental health issue, and people who are suffering from mental illness themselves. I don't tell the first group much of anything. The other two groups I trust.
I have found it necessary to be very discreet about who I share things with. Some people are ignorant and insensitive.
Good Luck,
Trish
