• 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

Well work hasn't been going really all that well. I mean nothing major but ALOT of stress and my anxiety is super high lately. I mean it is still controlled but I can feel it rising up, my chest tightening, my inability to eat much, my pulse going up stuff like that. Luckily I am intune with it and am learning to STOP and calm myself. It is mostly work related.

So yesterday was a terrible day at work, today was good in the morning so fun first day of school for (1 kindergarden, 1 first grader) so exciting. Then work was stressful and crazy and I had to stay late. But then when I got home I just had the best time with my kids, hearing about their day and then to top it all off my son lost one of his front teeth at school today and tonight I got to pull the other one. So he is one of those adorable kids that has both front teeth missing. It made me really happy, in a normal good way.

This could be the reason you are going up and down so much lately. Stress for bpers is really a catalyst for manias and depressions. One of my PDoc's told me that. She said we should (BPers) avoid alcohol, street drugs and excessive stress.

Is there anything that helps relieve stress for you that you haven't been doing that maybe you can pull out again? Music, Favorite Movies, Walks in the woods (with the kids), dates with hubby, indepth bible study, bubble baths? Take the time to deal with your stress you are worth it.
