• 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 recently rented a private room (mother in law quarters with private entrance) from a Christian woman who placed an ad on the bulletin board at church. we were getting along fine until recently. she had given me a book written by a friend of hers who is bipolar and told me the book was great and that her friend went through hell and was delivered from her depression through Christ. So, I figured it was safe to tell her I have bipolar...that she would accept me and love me.

Then, one night she let me borrow her car....with full knowledge that I have no license. I wanted to go look for my boyfriend who was MIA that night. Well, I got pulled over for speeding and the cops called her and when she came to pick up her car they told her my whole record. I have a terrible legal record, but these things are ten and twenty years old. They scared the bejezus out of her by telling her these things, telling her to get me out of her house and her life because I'm trouble.

I would agree. I am trouble. I have a lot of self induced problems and I treat people terrible. So, she gave me two weeks notice to move out and I couldn't be happier because there is something seriously wrong with her too.

She's 70 years old and she acts so innocent yet I found her hidden stash of alcohol and pills the other day. Then it all made sense all of a sudden. She acts like a complete space cadet and I just thought she might be senile. But she's not. A lady from church told me she doesn't get along with anyone and as a result was asked to leave the church!

Also, I just now pulled her legal record and she recently lost her house so she's obviously not too responsible. She's about to lose this house too because she can't make the payments. She told me if I hadn't rented the room from her last month she wouldn't have been able to make her house payment.

So, she's kicking me out under the guise that her family is coming into town and she needs the room. Shouldn't she have told me that before I moved in? She's obviously lying. If she doesn't want me here because I'm bipolar and a general mess, then just be honest about it.

I don't blame her for wanting me to leave, I just wish I would stop attracting unhealthy people into my life and I know this can't happen until I myself change.

:sigh:
