Welcome to CF Irene!

 

[irenevictoria]

Thanks. I've been looking for a forum like this. I tried before but they were not that active.

At our church we have life groups, small community gatherings but people are so busy I haven't been able to attend. That's why I'm glad for finding CF. It's cool to talk to other Christians to fellowship and keep us in Christ. Hmm more about myself, I love cats and dogs, I have read the entire Bible, I am a homebuddy, but someday thinking of getting out more. I'm reviewing for the board exam next year, hoping to get a job afterwards, earn money then travel. Praying that my plans is accordance to God's plans for me. I'm older than some of you here probably. I'm 39. Accepted Jesus at 15. Since then life turned into a movie if you know what I mean.

Yes, it was literally life-changing. K. I knew it, I'm getting older. Haha. Yea, I'm glad I'm able to talk to fellow Christians about anything under the sun. May I know what field of profession you are taking?

I am currently working in Mental Health as a Peer Support Specialist, basically I'm a friend to people with physical or mental disability, and i have that job because I'm diagnosed Bipolar and Schizeophrenic. I will gladly share more if you want, what about you?

What a nice coincidence. I'm diagnosed Bipolar 1 with psychotic features. I recently got out of a rehab facility. Told you, like a movie. I was diagnosed when I was 18.

Mine was very challenging that's why I landed in rehab. I overdosed on 100 bipolar meds pills. It was a miracle that I survived without any of my organs affected except for my brain of course. It was an extreme experience of nonstop delusions and hallucinations. It felt like eternal hell. I heard voices that gave me instructions on what to do because of so and so delusion. And there were days without sleep and even my dreams were like delusions themselves, no rest. I survived. So, please anyone, do not harm your brain, it's dangerous and deadly. I was lucky or maybe that it was a miracle. I was unconscious for 13 days and woke up hearing Christian songs. Felt so peaceful and calm (maybe it's the effect of my meds for sleep. Then after about 3 weeks the hallucinations and delusions began. Our brain is the control unit of our existence. Our brain determines the quality of our life. Don't mess with it. It's like hell if we try to harm it.

yes it is a very serious and fragile thing our mental health, yet at the same time God gave us a sound mind, so He is our strength in Spirit and mind, but it was a miracle you survived. Jesus had a plan for you (And still does!) but in all seriousness i'm gald you're good now!

Yes thank you. My spiritual life had improved alot lately. It had been on decline especially last year when my bipolar was getting worse. I plan on getting active at church maybe after I pass the board while looking for work. I thank God for getting me to rehab nonetheless. I am much better, better than in all the years I'd been struggling with my illness.
