• 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.

In late 2017, days after turning 32, I was diagnosed with asthma. In November that year, my wife and I went to Wheeling WV to a hockey game for our 5th year anniversary and we planned to stay the night in neighboring St. Clairsville OH. That night, I couldn’t stop coughing after only 2 hours of sleep. It just wouldn’t stop. In the weeks preceding I had been coughing on and off like most would with a cold but nothing too bad. Later the next month, it hit me hard one night driving home from work. It was bad, so bad I nearly passed out at the wheel and even vomited all over myself. I took a big dose of NyQuil when I got home and that stopped it. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed,given a breathing treatment, and an inhaler and some antibiotics. That helped until the inhaler ran out. I wound up going back for the same thing and additional medicine. This time I’m told it’s bronchitis. I don’t think it’s going to go away. I’ve had to use my inhaler a lot this past week due to the heat and humidity.

You should ask your doctor for one.They are usually portable and come with small little doses of liquid medicine to put in them.They usually clear up asthma attacks.You can also order your own machine online as well
