• 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

:wave: First of all, I would like to say this forum is such a blessing!! You brothers and sisters are terrific in the Lord..

Some of you know my testamony. I am ADHD and recently diagnosed with Bipolar I. God is so good!! He guides and directs us and answers all our questions! What a wonderful Lord!

When diagnosed, I came home to find all the information on the web that I could.. I look up meds, pros and cons, definitions, symptoms, diagnosis, and so on.. I found a site that answers about Bipolar and support.. (by the way,, that's how I found this forum too, praise God)

I inquired about the info to start a support group in my area on a site I found..
There is NOTHING around for Miles and Miles.. so many people go through this without a clue what is happening... I have the desire to encourage those and bring those things to light that are hid in darkness...

I don't know if this particular support group is allowed to be Christ centered yet,, I haven't received the info packet,, but I know,, it must be opened and closed with prayer with the Lord the Leader.

I have no clue as to how to go about this should I have the opportunity.. so I'm asking for prayer for God to work it all out if it is His will to be done.. if not.. then God be glorified either way..
love you guys/gals in the Lord!!:thumbsup: Faye
