• 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. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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

Not doing well right now. :(:(:(:cry:

Oh I am so sorry to hear that, I suffer with bipolar disorder, so I know about feeling low, it just saps you of life doesn't it?

I have recently been in hospital and had my medication changed and that change, changed my life, mine you it took 20 years of misery before that new medication was tried, and even then I had to refuse to take my old medication in order to get the new, hence the time in hospital.

So I will pray for you, and why not book an appointment with your doctor and ask if there is better medication for you? Doctors from my experience need a push now and again.

I've noticed over the years that you have posted on here often and this struggle has been going on for a long time. I don't know if I have ever suggested it to you, but you might try reading "Telling yourself the Truth" by William Backus and Marie Chapian. Just a suggestion. I think you would benefit from it.

Thanks :hug: It just doesn't get any better:(:(:(

Im praying for you Jo. I understand how difficult it can be. Today i'm trusting that I can love God and He loves me the way everyone says He does. i believe God can and does do miracles when we ask Him. I'm asking Him to fill your life with hope, peace and joy. He may take us by a gloomy way which we can't understand, but He has promised He won't cast
out any who come to Him. Just for today, I will trust Him. <3
