• 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

Yes I was on it for about 5 months. Had little side effects really. I dreamt loads...more than normal. nothing scary, but just did, but I'm not fully sure whether that was the tablets or just uber stress. Not much of a problem though. Hope it goes well for you xx

One of the side effects is, I believe, vivid dreams. But they're always quite interesting so it's not really a negative side effect ;) I took fluoxetine for 3 months and it didn't work for me, but it's been a miracle drug for many people. Good luck if you decide to take it/are on it. :)

I have been on so many different meds and nothing seems to ever work I really hope this does!

I will pray for you huni, that you get what u need to get better! :)

At the very least, they give you fun dreams...so sleep time becomes very interesting ;)

My dreams were more interesting than real life, lol, so something good and amusing can come out of it!:p

You'll get there! xxx
