• 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 used to have cancer back in the day. Yeah I don't have cancer anymore.My doctor put me on bioploar meds, but I am not sure I even have bipolar. My friend said she knows this doctor and he goes about not evaluating patients (like me) and just prescirbes meds like they are nothing. I hope that is not the case with me and I hope that I am alright and can be off them soon. Please pray. If I have it from it all than I pray I can be recovered soon and if not than the doctor to get it right and that I won't have to take them. Thanks.

Bipolar disorder is not something you get over and then get off meds. It is a chemical imbalance in the brain that stays with a person for the rest of their lives,a nd medication management is a lifetime commitment.

If you are uncertain about your diagnosis, ask the doctor who prescribes your meds for an explanation of the diagnosis. There are certain criteria that docs use to diagnose. They base it on your symptoms.

God bless.
