• 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

started going mildly manic and lost it in the car flying through town and lights. finally pulled over and walked. handed keys over. home again. stuff can't write here, but we talked about and that's ok. we listened to the radio and took some groceries home. ribs, neckbones, fresh brats, chicken thighs. usually when I get a mild manic I stay safe and alive nothing bad happens even if I get a little wild. But I remember a day my car was spinning and I had one of my favorite hard rock songs playing, Round and Round by Ratt. I still get a laugh out of that. Just chillin with a tobasco bloody mary. maybe watch les mis. or read a new kids book I got on anxiety.

hope that's a virgin "bloody mary";). idk but drinking any amt. of alcohol causes serious problems for me, w/ Bipolar. I used to be able to do it when I was younger, but as I get older I can't tolerate it at all. I used to really enjoy a glass of red wine while cooking dinner. Through time I found I couldn't even do that. It would cause me to go manic, waking up in the middle of the night with racing thoughts, panic attack, and would go into a deep depression for almost a week following.
Looking at your posts sounds like you take meds...but how do you think they are working for you? You seem to be a little manic....just sayin....
