• 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 married, a mom and a gramma. We have a disabled daughter living with us. We work for her and that is our whole income besides social security. My hubby and I both have health problems.
I have bipolar. Even so, I'm the one everyone counts on but I'm not so ok. I really need to find a mature christian person of experience to mentor me (us) along maybe? And of course to pray for me (us).
We have a sweet little church and good people there. We have a couple of friends. I don't tell anyone I have bipolar though (I believe in open-ness but learned my lesson . . . ). I don't feel I can really share the deeper problems with anyone that knows me here, for prayer.
My prayer has been to find some friends near us who can understand, support and enjoy our family KNOWING our problems. Right now I feel pretty needy, but I want to be able to be supportive and helpful in return. We live in a little rural town in Osage County KS.
But not to say I only want offline friends!
Well anyway !
thnx
Becky
