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.
never ever ever going to end..........

Yes, Kittik..Most of the time I lay there and anxious thoughts go through my mind. I'm doing a little better now though. Now I usually get sleepy during the day and when I do sleep it seems like it's in and out, but not real sleep. I just now woke up and I think I fell asleep today at around...say 9 AM maybe...I'm not sure. I really hope my sleeping patterns improve. I'll write more later and thanks for the advice. =)

From someone who's been there:
Get some warm milk (with just a touch of cocoa mix) or hot herbal tea - decaf, of course. Pour yourself a cup, put on your coziest pajamas, put on some relaxing music, and grab an uplifting (or boring
) book. Curl up in your bed and get lost in someone else's world for awhile. I also do crossword puzzles sometimes...Do you have a friend you can call who can do some praying for you when you feel anxious or depressed? Sometimes when we're in that state, we're too weak to pray for ourselves and need someone else to stand in the gap for us.
I have had episodes like this all my life and am just now starting to put a name to it, so these are some of the "drug-free" ways I have found to cope!!
