• 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

Hi everyone, need your help and prayers. My husband doesnt understand that I will most likely have to wean my 10-month-old this week so I can go on medication. I have some flavor of mood disorder, pdoc will tell me more tomorrow after tdoc visit today. Basically, I am very angry a lot of the time. DH thinks I just need Jesus.

I have been praying SO MUCH! I know Jesus can heal me, I just think He has chosen not to for some reason. My anger/irritability is affecting my family, esp my 3-year-old, who gets sad when I get sad/angry. I have been off and on antidepressants for 7 years. DH wants me to hold out for 2 more months so my baby can get 2 more months of mom's milk. I am desperate for relief!!!

He works out of town during the week and just doesnt get it. Thinks I just need to go to bible study tonight and all will be all right. i love the Lord, I am saved, I just cant go on with this anger/depression untreated. Any ideas out there? I think 10 months of mom's milk is excellent, but he wont support me on weaning, says I get angry JUST b/c he disagrees with me. He doesnt get it that I am angry a lot of the time, and snap far too much. I lost my job 5 months after having the baby and am at home with 2 kids by myself and struggling. :-( I cry out to the Lord to help me, heal me, cure me, something please!

Please help!

There are natural supplements you can take that will regulate your brain chemistry and control your bipolar. I was on meds for years and now use amino acids and actually do much better. The only problem I have is a bit of stomach upset now and then.

You can google the subject and find lots of good info out there. Actress Nicole Kidman uses the natural approach so you might use her name as I know she works with one group as I came across an article she wrote on what she uses.

Unfortunately mood disorders are part of the fall and there's no shame treating them with whatever means works best for you.
