• 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 want to thank every one of you that replied and prayed for me!! God answered your prayers what it seemed immediately!!:clap:

When I went to my followup,, I explained although I was on Stratera for the ADHD, I was still VERY forgetful!! I had even made tea for my husband with bleach water,, I had forgotten it was soaking and thought I had already prepared the cold water for the tea.. needless to say,, he tooted for two weeks.. It was a dangerous act of forgetfullness BUT thanks be to God not harmful to my husband.

So, the dr. realized the seriousness of this and changed my meds to Ritalin. I mean to tell you,, I cleaned house for 2 days,, which I hadn't for years.. It felt so good not to sit and lay around eating and sleeping!! I have lost 10 lbs.. PRAISE GOD!! Thank you brothers and sisters so much!! And those of you who are taking meds and they have messed up your regularity,, the SENEKOT works!! It's non habit forming and is natural vegetable pills..
Love in the Lord!! :kiss: Faye

Wow, I am so glad that you are getting things figured out with your meds. Senekot is so good, isn't it?

That bleach story is quite funny lol.

When I was in a really bad depression once, my memory started to go and I totally forgot where I parked at the mall. I wandered around the parking lot forever like a retard. I almost walked home and sent my husband back to find it. Luckily I spotted it at the last moment. My Dr said that it happens to a lot of people.

phewf.
