• 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'm back for a very selfish reason. I used to be lemonflavor.

I need prayer. I've been awfully anxious, to the point of my hands and arms going numb about two days a week. I'm in the middle of it now.

It's a long story but it's late and you may not want to read it. If you could please pray, I wasn't sure who else to turn to.

I may have been a little abrasive for some and I apologize for that. I'm a little softer now.

I have more to tell but it's late. I will catch up with how you're doing soon.

THANK YOU. NIce to be here again.

Welcome back. I have often wondered how you were and if you were still checking in to read now and then. Your presence has been missed. I consider it a blessing and a pleasure to send prayers to our loving heavenly Father on your behalf!!!

When have many new friends here and you are always welcome!:groupray:

Hello,
I feel better already. This is pretty unusual. Thank you SO much for praying. My bad days have been badder recently and it's disturbing. I always wonder if something isn't working as well or if I should make any changes but with all the meds I'm taking it's hard to tell.

I now have chronic back pain to deal with which has been very bad. I had a microdiscectomy to repair a herniated disc which did what it was supposed to but for some reason since then everything else that's wrong with my back has gotten much worse.

I had been pretty stable and doing pretty well but I got REALLY sick a few weeks ago, most likely from both too high a dose of gabapentin for me (which is unusual, don't let that affect you) and also a muscle relaxer which both made me throw up. I then went into withdrawal because I couldn't keep anything down! I wanted to die.

I haven't been the same since. Funny, I just want to get back to my "normal" depressed, in pain self instead of this absolutely dreadful stuff.

I wasn't here for a while because I wanted to take my focus away from Bipolar stuff for a while and not dwell on it.

Spiritually I'm doing very well. I've been reading and studying a lot and learning so much. I'm learning NT Greek which is hard but good.

I've written too much already. I'll be reading to see how you all are doing and get to know the newer people around here.

Thanks again.
