• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private.

  • 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 am a PhD candidate in Christian Counseling. My dissertation is a phenomenological study of Internet Support Group participants with bipolar disorder. While I would like to hear from all of you, I am particularly interested in those who are not on psychotherapeutic medications. Your name will never be used, confidentiality will be maintained at all times. Your participation would involve completion of a demographic survey, and an interview either by email, through this site (if permitted) or through instant messaging. Participation is entirely voluntary, you may choose to withdraw at any time. If you choose to participate, you will be entered into a drawing for a $25 American Express card. Thank you for considering my request.

Yes, I would like to include you if you're willing. The survey will only take a few minutes and the interview can be conducted through chat or email, according to your preference. I will provide you a link to the survey when all participants are in place, most likely within a week. Thank you for your response.
