• 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'd thought I was getting over my depression, like I was rarely ever 'depressed', but then I got a bad case of strep a few months ago and kinda fell into this rut. Now I'm battling moodiness and severe exhaustion and I have trouble just taking my pills.

I was tested for mono because I'm always tired, but I've not been sleeping well lately either. My brain is always .... asleep, it seems. I have so much trouble just remembering things or thinking. Sometimes I get confused and can't remember things that I know I should be able to remember, but it's a complete blank. :(

Some days I'm almost completely ok and I can function normally, but sometimes I go days feeling like I'm half asleep, yet unable to sleep properly.

My doctor and I decided to cut back on my anti-depressants a few months back and I thought that I was doing fine, but now I'm not so sure... My parents notice that something's up with me, but they have no idea what it is. I'm afraid if I tell them I need to go back to my regular dosage they'll just fuss at me for not taking my pills on a regular basis anyway....plus I'm afraid we can't really afford it...

Argh...sorry if that was confusing, I'm having trouble getting my thoughts together... :sigh:

I kinda talked to my mom about it and I think she's ok with going back to my regular dosage. As long as she thinks I need it and it's best for me, she's all for it. Tis nice that even though she doesn't understand, she tries to help..
