• 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

Good morning. I posted here for the first time a couple of days ago and I just wanted to update all of you on how I'm feeling. My daughter was admitted to the hospital for croup for a couple of days so needless to say my stress level was very high so my ocd really played havic on me. I had been having terrible harming thoughts and didn't want to be alone with my kids. I forced myself not to run though and I stayed alone with my kids and took great care of them, even though I was anxious. I saw my dr and she gave me zoloft and ativan to help and I feel some better now. My daughter is home from the hospital so things have gotten a little back to normal and my anxiety, while still there, is improved. I really hate this disease and wish I could just live normally but I guess we all do. Keep me in your prayers, and I'll keep in touch when I can. Thank you all for your time and support.

Hi Kathy,
Croup!! That's so scary. My oldest son had that and had to be hospitalized a few times too when he was little. I'm so proud of you for sticking it out and taking such tender care of your children. That's the way to do it. Don't run, don't avoid, just shove that bugger OCD out of your way and do the right thing. I'm glad your getting help from your Dr. and that your little girl is home again.
Praying for you.
