• 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

For the past few years we have taken her to every doctor we can think of, but they all say the same thing: That there is no cure for chronic fatigue syndrome but they did give her an inhaler for her asthma. Although nowadays she seems to be doing a little better.

She does this thing that during the day she will turn the air conditioner up really high (why? It's winter!) in order to help her with her asthma she claims, but it gets so cold in here that I am forced to live in this house wearing one of my thick robes just to stay warm.

Please pray she heals fully. Eventually. And that she knocks it off with the air conditioner already.

She can try using a fan and having it blowing only on her.

If the air feels dry and stuffy to her in a suffocating way, she can try a humidifier and a fan. They also make fans that use water to cool and moisten the air being blown from the fan.

Another option would be a small window unit a/c for her designated space or bedroom.

Since it's winter, be mindful of freezing temperatures.
