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'm not a husband, but I am the wife of one that had to walk with me through my disease, so I know what you are probably going through. Hold on to the faith brother and all things will work out in God's time and in His will. I know that sounds simple from where you are standing, but He truly will work out the things in your life if you trust Him to do so. My prayers are with you and your wife, for I know you both are in troubled waters.

Thanks sisters!
My wife has been suffering from depression since her teenage years. Now post-partum on top of it (and a lack of sleep as well.) It's been like a rollercoaster ride. No worries. I am sticking to my vows. It's just really wearing me down...

I'm not a husband, but I know a little of how much my brother-in-law suffered when my sister had post-partum depression. Not only was he exhausted from lack of sleep and helping to care for the baby, but he was also very worried about my sister.
Bless Brooke Shields for publicly talking about how she got help for her post-partum depression!

Thanks for all your ears... things have been really busy at home, plus I took a week off to be with my family and see if we could get the baby to sleep any longer. I am certain that sleep deprivation plays a larger role in how my wife functions. While we did not get her to sleep through the night, at least it's down to just one feedingat 1:15am which I have taken over before I head out to work. This way, my wife can get rest from approx. 8pm to about 5:00am. Also, she had been seeing a psychiatrist that specializes in postpartum, yet she was about an hours drive each way away. She referred her to an NP much closer, but that lady has been switching her from one med to another, which I believe made things worse. She is back on Paxil now, and I hope that this will help her. We have also been in counseling at church, to work though a number of issues that have accumulated in 9 years.

My husband deals with me everyday. I think I have post traumatic stress disorder. I think I am just in this deep depression from my parents and sisters lost 7 years ago and just havent snapped out of it.
