• 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.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Anyone diagonsed with APD?
I had to find the diagnoses myself for Social Anxiety Disorder even thought I've been to a few councilors:sigh:

& now I see that it's severe enough it could almost be APD.

Doubt it the diagns. makes much difference I was just wondering if anyone here can give me any suggestions or experiences with it. I have PA's too.
& support would be great too:)
Do ya'll pray for each other here?

Your post does help:)
That would be tough, bcause I know some people that have GAD symptoms.

Mine are bad enough that they've always interfered with every job I've gotten. Im a stay at home mom, but would prefer to work part time.
The SAD just stresses me out so bad that I can't put my all into work. BTW I hate confrontations too..I get so anxious that PA's can happen if Im even in a somewhat tense situation.

My family & hubby have given up pushing me to work & be more social for the most part:p But it's hard, bcause I have a degree & like most we could always use the money.
Been checking into home business stuff or working on other ideas, but nothin' yet. Still prayin':prayer:
