• 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.

I have reached the stage of pregnancy where it is difficult to sleep. I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep, I have trouble falling asleep. It's hard to get comfortable (already and I'm only just into second trimester!). Are there any methods to make sleep easier so I don't wake up exhausted and headaches and grumpy?

I will give you my phone number. Simply call when you need, and say "John, tell me about interpositional quanta and their subsequent relation to the subtemporal manifold, and what fundamental relation this has with multi-fractal spatial harmonic field matrices!" They don't call me the human tranquilizer for nothing.

When I was pregnant I had trouble falling/staying asleep as well. It's very common. Try to take naps during the day if possible. Some pregnant women say a body pillow, like a Snoogle, helps them sleep. What woke me up were leg cramps and heartburn, so I tried to drink a lot of water throughout the day and eat more bland foods before bedtime. I hope you're able to get more rest!
