• 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.

Hello everyone. My name is Elena, and I am almost 21. To date, I have the following medical/mental conditions: Chronic Clostridium Difficile, Hashimoto's Disease, Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome, Bipolar Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and and Partial Epilepsy. Now, remember, I am 21 years old. I have been diagnosed with the PCOS, Bipolar and Hashimoto's since I was 14. The PTSD was diagnosed at 18, along with the C. Diff. The most recent discovery was the Partial Epilepsy at the beginning of this year. I am married, I have been for just over a year now. So, tell me. How do I save a broken marriage, which is mostly due to my cycle of either being Physically ill(with the C. Diff., PCOS, Hashimoto's or Seizures) or Mentally ill(with the Bipolar or PTSD)?On every anniversary(when we first met in person, since we met on this website ;) , our engagement, wedding, etc.) I have spent either in the hospital, in a Psych Ward, or unable to "celebrate" due to illness or most recently, a miscarriage. I don't know what forum to post this on, but I figured this would be the best. And the worst part about all this? The fact that my dad is being laid off in 6 months and I may not have insurance to pay for all the medications and Doctor's visits. My marriage is falling apart, along with my health. I have had C. Diff. 5 different times, been in a Psych Ward, been hospitalized for seizures 3 times, plus a Mono diagnosis in March of this year and Pneumonia in June, AND a miscarriage shortly after the Pneumonia diagnosis, all in the past two years. I can't stay healthy. It's just not possible. My husband is tired of the constant attention I need, and I don't blame him. How do I get healthier? What can I do? Help please...
