I've never been on a forum before and I'm very confused on how you work it. I'm Bi Polar and it's making me upset just trying to figure things out.

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.

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

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.

Are you newly diagnosed? It can take a while to wrap your head around it, get on a working medication regimen, etc.
I am relatively new to this site, as well, but have participated on other forums. Basically, if you have a question, concern, whatever, you'd post it, like you did this post, and people respond. Some sites have a blog feature, which you can use as an online diary - people can read it and make comments, but really you just write it for yourself, with no specific question or response required (or you can make it private and no one but you sees it). So far, I have not been able to find such a feature on this site.

No, I'm not newly diagnosed. I've been to psychiatrists, counselors, and psychologists for years now. No one seems to know how to help me. They just put me on all kinds of different drugs. Some help sort of but I hate the side effects. Others don't help much at all. I've gained so much weight and hate what I see in the mirror. It's really stressful and I struggle constantly.

Hi terrydg7, i would like to ask you a question if i may-do you believe that you can be free from taking meds one day for good, or do you feel you will need them for life? God bless you.
