• 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 went to see my therapist yesterday. She has an appointment for my to see the doctor August 6. I just haven't got to the part of asking my mom if it would be okay if I talked to the doctor alone... I hope that I will be able to before August 6... I know it sounds childish but if you could please pray that I am able to ask her to see the doctor alone and the mood swings get better. (I have been very down lately.)

I truly wish you great strength in talking to your mother. Take it from me, sweetie, I never got up the courage to properly talk to my mother until in my late 30's, and it was during a complete mental and phsical breakdown and hospitalization.:hug:

It sounds like your mother (family) is supportive, sit down with her and tell her there are some things/thoughts that are private to you as a person, these things may need to be discussed with Dr._________, and you are too uncomfortable to discuss these issues in front of her.
