• 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.

I am finding it harder each day to deal with all the little crap
on this CF forum. Being bipolar is hard enough as it is without
having to deal with Moderators who have no idea that I am bipolar.
For no apparent reason I am having some of my
posts deleted without any kind of notification afterward. I can't
talk with the staff cause when I go to the Chat With Staff thread
and try to post, I get a YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED IN THIS SECTION
type thing, so how in the heck am I supposed to tell anyone how I
feel.

I am not very social and don't talk much to people out there in
the real world, so it is even harder in this cyber world to communicate.
I never use cuss words or foul language or tell anyone off, but someone
keeps deleting some of my posts and no one will tell me why.
I have deleted my Biker For Christ avatar and my signature photos
and tried to put Self-Banned in where regular member now is, but
they have sabotaged it with a [wash my mouth] thingy.

I don't like it here anymore and I just want to leave and never come
back. I wish they would just make me banned and get it over with.
I hate being bipolar and trying to deal with people.................But
when I go, I take all my prayers with me. I will not pray for anyone
here ever again. The Mods nor Admin. won't tell me what is really
going on and just leave me to second guess it all myself...I hate that.
Anyway, now you here in the bipolar section know how I feel and the
stuff I have to deal with on this forum as a bipolar.

Biker, I am so sorry to hear about how you have been treated... I am also bipolar and have never been treated in this way - maybe you have run into the wrong mods at the wrong times, I don't know. I don't really know what to say, except - you are a phenomenal pianist. I am listening to "Waltz from the Dark Side" right now and it is beautiful. E flat minor is a hard key in which to play (I, too, am a pianist but am not gifted enough to write my own music, despite having played for 15 years)... I admire your skill. Thank you so much for linking it to us. :)

I would ask you, though, to stay around, and maybe just take some time to get to know us here on the bipolar board. If you don't want to, that's okay, but maybe we can help you and support you more and in better ways than people on other boards here at CF, since we understand what it's like to be bipolar. Anyway, just a thought!!

:hug:

I know how you feel, they have done this to quiet a few of my posts to! The best is to forgive them and continue to seek out to love and support each other, for I'm sure that's what our Lord delights in.


All the best loving your enemies.

Im really sorry you feel that way, but I don't think anyone else here has any problems, and this is exactly were BiPolar people needs to be because you have the non judgemental Christian support that you/we need. We can be open for the most part about how we feel and help eachother out (through) our trials. Have you tried pming a mod? That is one way, and they will listen and respond. Some things are just not appropriate in some forums that are allowed here. I hope you stay and I hope this gets better and you are able to explain to them your concern.

Don't stress so much about bans and the such. I'm pretty sure that I'm borderline as is or will be by this time tomorrow. I've been banned here before for poking fun at the fanatics that tend to dwell in forums. More so against the religious ones it seems. I try to share knowledge and have a decent discussion but I get talked down to a lot on here and feel as though those with religion tend to think higher of themselves. I'm not sure what else to tell you. I often wonder between wanting to discuss and share to wanting nothing more to smash people with a shovel for their arrogance and close mindedness.

NesterJones - I too am guilty of pestering the "holier than thou" group. I have a bunch of 'em on facebook and several around town and even one in church. I like to challenge thier "theories" and, I always win. I read my bible - I don't think most of them do - or they would "win" one once in a while.

Yes I fully agree, good religion is looking after the needed and the sick and lonely, not looking down on those others who are often in reality better than themselves.

I'm a faith man myself.

I have been banned from lots of forums in the past, but I
am trying to get at least 300 posts here before that happens.
300 would be a post/world record for me :D LOL

Hope you stick around for a while you sound cool!:cool:

Hey, BfC don't worry about it. I got warned over in marriage forum. I occasionally come here 'cause you guys are breath of fresh air. I hang out mostly in the Survivors, Depression and Marriage forum.

I like to poke holes in the oh I'm so Holy look at me crowd too. Sheepdog and BlessEwe are good peoples from what I've seen. Some mods take themselves too seriously in my opinion. Just like most Deacons. Which is why when I've been asked to deacon I say naw, I wouldn't be willing to take on the amount of work that a deacon is supposed to da and instead would be a dork like most deacons are.

Hi Biker for Christ,

Cool name you have! I saw your user name the day you came on the forum.
Sorry you had some trouble here, and we do hope you stick around. I used to go into the politics area and get into trouble there.. lol... but now I choose to stick in the areas that keep me calm..:amen: I see all of you bonding in this area of the forum, and it is great to see. We all need each other, and through Christ we all have a common brotherhood/sisterhood. You are just learning the rules ( and well rules protect the members here) sometimes we may be wrong because we are human) so I am glad things got worked out. If you have any questions please PM the MODs here and we are happy to help you anytime.

God Bless
