• 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

Really bad day.

I have not had a chance to be on here for awhile. Just so much on my plate. But today I need Christians that are feeling like me with this stuff. I am feeling fear like I have not been feeling for so long and I am feeling close to psychotic. Last week my caseworker said I should be stable on meds, I was doing well until I became sick this last weekend and now though feeling better extreme depression and manic also. I have always had psychotic stuff even before diagnosis when sick like bad colds, flue, etc. I just though prior to learning my bipolar that everyone had this when sick lol. bipolar is dangerous illness. I have had signs of it since I was 2-4 year old by my mom now learning symptoms. it got really bad when I was about 30 and took 10 years to get correct diagnosis. Only this year have I actually accepted that I have it. I have bipolar. No matter if my husband will not accept or family accept ( exceptmom) or many Christian friends and no medicine needed Christians. They can run their race and I will run mine. they may think I am not right with God Whatever. I am standing on the sound mind verse, but it is great suffering sometimes I would wish on no one. and I guarantee that if these who thought this had to go through what I have sometimes woulds have killed themselves- I have never tried, only because Of my Savior-or begged for medicine. I used to judge others like that. God taught me some things. You would not like what I went through to be taught.:wave::o
