• 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 am writing this request on my behalf. Yesterday my son Andrew picked up a knife and said " Good-Bye Mommy" when I turned around he was about to stab me. I grabbed the knife away from him and asked him why he wanted to hurt me? He looked confused and told me he did not know.

My husband was not home he went to his men's cell group meeting. I was so distraught and sad. I sent my son to sleep and went to my room. Normally I would pray and ask the Lord for direction, but I must admit I was angry that my son is still with Autism/bipolar and now he is depressed.

Please pray for Andrew and us. We need direction from the Lord and we need outside intervention to help Andrew cope with his illness. It has been very difficult to find help in NYC with my insurance GHI.

Dear Willmrcd1


You didn't say how old your son is but reguardless he needs to be put in a mental care unit behind locked doors until the right meds are found.


Bipolars left untreated can cause carnage beyond belief.


To really UNDERSTAND mental illness is to UNDERSTAND there is no UNDERSTANDING!!!


ALWAYS REMEMBER:






“ Believe “ in Greek is a verb and has three components which are: hearing, accepting, and then acting ( COMMITING ) upon that which you have accepted.

X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O

I am giving you the BIGGEST virtual hug right now!

Prayers have been said asking for the Lord to be with your son. I also ask that He give you strength so you can help Andrew his illness. May He lead you to a doctor that is good for you and able to care for your son and his needs. May God bless you and hold you in His hands, guiding you.

I wanted to thank each one of you for your prayers. God is faithful. Andrew is doing so much better. He does not show signs of mania and his depression seems to have lifted. He is talking more and is more focused and seems to be smiling and looking forward to doing different things. He is communicating more and this is of course a move in the right direction.
