• 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

Down down down. Dooby dooby down. Wah wah wah wa-aaaah.

One thing after another, and I am seeing the early warning signs of depression. I try hard, and get a lot achieved, but I get no thanks, and still get told off for what I don't manage to do.
It seems the people who want something from me, want it yesterday, and when I need something from someone else, it takes weeks or months before they get around to it.
There are some people I just can't deal with right now. Yes I know avoidance achieves nothing, but holding off some difficulties helps me to deal with others. I can't deal with everything at once.
I can't even handle the question "How are you going?"
I feel like a yo-yo. ...where the string's bust.

Someone tell me a joke I haven't heard. I need to laugh. :angel:

A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize one of the most quoted passages in the Bible -- Psalm 23. She gave the youngsters a month to learn the verse. Little Bobby was excited about the task, but he just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to recite Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Bobby was so nervous. When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, "The Lord is my shepherd . . . and that's all I need to know!"

*I'm with little Bobby on this one!

Brilliant! I haven't heard that one - and I fully intend to repeat it. .....in fact, I may pad it out and make it into a children's story (which I sometimes do in church)

That picked me up a bit. Thanks. :hug: I also went online last night and found a bipolar chat room - some wonderful people there.
Bipolar Chat Room - Bipolar Forums - Bipolar Community & Social Networking - Online Bipolar Support Group - HealthfulChat
Anyone else been there?
