• 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

I just found out on Friday that the mental health system I'm involved in is changing their system. As a result I will be losing my mental health counselor I've had for the past year. When she told me of the change I was okay in the moment but after I left the office I just felt really grieved. I thought it would lift by now but it hasn't.


I've been bipolar for 32 years (and counting) and I've seen a lot of changes. Maybe I'm just tired. Please join me in prayer that I would make the best decision for me in faith and not in fear and that I would get or choose the right person/people for me in my mental health care for the long run.

Thank you so much for your prayers. That really means a lot to me. I did get a little more info this morning. They're saying this is all being done to help the patients. So it's all supposedly being done with the best of intentions but I'm still not believing that. I came across Psalm 108:12 this past weekend and that spoke to me.

Psa 108:12 Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.

Like I was telling the Lord it's not that I don't trust Him, it's people that have me worried.
