• 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

Howdy All,

I thought I would share some good news.

Since I couldn't get into see a psychiatrist until September, I finally decided that I needed to do something. I called the psychiatrist's office yesterday and found out that they also have a number of psychologists on staff. I was able to get into see on in 2 weeks and he'll be able to help me start developing some of the coping strategies, etc. that I'm struggling with.

In addition, I talked to our home group leader this week (from our church). He was very, very supportive and offered to do anything that he could to help. He said, "I don't really know what you and [your wife] need, but if you can tell me, we'll be happy to do it."

I greatly appreciated his offer and simply the friendship. It's probably the first time in a couple of years that I've had someone that I could call a "friend" in our church.

Anyhow, that's it for now. Hope all is going well for the rest of y'all.

Godspeed,
