• 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

hello. i am 22 years old and have been medicated for manic depression and a few other mental illnesses since i was 12 years old. i have practically lived my whole life medicated, almost half. i became a christian at 20 years old after a religion experience. i was hospitalized in feb after a suicide attempt and my general health was tested and i described a few things to them that i had been experiencing and they wanted to do testing on it after i was moved to a normal floor after ICU. i was brought into the doctors office two months later and was shown results of a few x-rays and blood work. my doctor lit up the x-rays and circled my colon and the cancer that had been causing me my symptoms. apparently at the time the tests were done the cancer was already stage 3. we discussed options but he informed me that chemo would only add 3 to four months. i returned after a few new symptoms and apparently the cancer has spread into my stomach and lungs. lungs is not smoking related. now im not interested really in statistics but in feb. i decided to take myself of my medications before i found out i was ill. after hearing all the options i decided that i am going to continue this path of not taking any medications or any of the treatments that might make me more comfortable or to basically prolong the process. in feb i decided that i was going to trust god and nothing has changed.

I am soooooo sorry to hear about your situation :hug:. I have been struggling with anxiety and severe depression for the past few years. I wish I could give you more advice. So the doctors gave you only a few months since February? Its already June, so it sounds like you are doing better than they expected :). You will definitely be in my prayers :prayer:.
