• 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

Been dealing with a lot of emotional issues the past week or so and depression. Also some self harming thoughts although I haven't self harmed in 7 months...so that is good for me. Anyways today I got really overwhelmed at work, like 100 things are coming at me at once, and like nothing is working or operating "the way it should", like there are too many problems and they are so overwhelming and all encompassining they could never possibly be fixed (I know all this is my bipolar acting up but just wanted to say how it feels). Anyways with too many problems and no way out I just bailed and went home. I took some work with me. But now I home trying to explain to my husband about my "stomache ache" which he is totally not believing. So I guess what I am saying is today at work I got so overwhelmed I had to go home. :cry:

Ack. Sorry to hear that. This happens to me regularly and I don't even work more than a few hours a week at most at home. My bad day was yesterday. Stomach ache and diarrhea. It usually happens with no rhyme or reason. I guess that the nature of being bipolar.

So anyway I kind of know how you feel and can identify with the physical stuff. I hope you can make it through tomorrow and have a restful weekend and I will pray for you.

Thanks guys. Just knowing I have this place...helps ALOT! I am doing a lot better. As my hormones have settled. Hey if I had to miss half a day....and that's it. Praise God! Things seem to be evening out a bit.
Praise God. Praying for you still, Berry.
