• 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

I have been in therapy for fifteen years for a personality disorder. I have been on medication for almost that long. Lately, I have been experiencing a lot of emotional stuff in my life and trying to deal with all of it sanely and rationally. BUT, I have been just weepy and crying for the past week. I need prayer. I am waiting to talk to a doctor about adjusting my medication. Please pray I am able to get stable again.

I'm praying for you, Madison.

If you don't mind my asking, what personality disorder do you have? I have major depressive disorder, dysthymia, and anxiety disorder... all no fun. My recent meds were giving me side effects similar to that of bipolar mixed episodes, too... evil!!

In addition to Bulimia/Eating disorder NOS, (my therapist and I argue over this diagnosis on a regular basis), Major Depressive Episode, Severe, I have Borderline Personality Disorder. What makes it worse is I am in grad school, studying all this and wondering if I am fit to do therapy with people when I am so depressed sometimes. I don't act out much anymore. When I do my therapist gives me a lecture like I have never had before.
