    To apologize, or not to apologize?

    If I get in an arguement with someone I really care about, and we both end up saying things that really hurt each other, who should apologize first? The person who started the arguement? The person who said the worst things? I feel like the person who apologizes first is showing that they care...

    You're right. I have been praying for him, of course, but I guess I am worrying about it too much. God will take care of it and if he's ever going to get saved, he will eventually. If not, there's really nothing I can do about it. We did talk a lot online last night, and he told me he still has...

    Well, I've come crashing down today. The guy I told y'all about (the one who broke up with me because of my bipolar) ended up not being able to go to church with me tonight like he said he would, because something came up at work. I'm worried he'll never come to church, never get saved... I also...

    Are You High, Low or Level? (5)

    I've been taking fish oil and St. John's Wort. I read those are supposed to be good for mood regulation. Alkaline water supposedly changes the pH of your body to make it less acidic, which is supposed to make you healthier in all kinds of ways. My sister got me started on it, I don't really...

    Are You High, Low or Level? (5)

    I've been feeling a little depressed the past couple of days, but not nearly as bad as it has been before. I don't know if everything I've been doing (supplements, alkaline water, sleeping regularly, exercising, etc.) is helping, or if I just haven't hit a bad spot yet.

    I never know what to say when someone's hurting. I wish I was good at coming up with comforting and uplifting things to say, like others here seem to be. But Lynne, I just want you to know I did read your post and I'm sorry you had to go through that. I had some good news I wanted to share...

    Employment

    I have a job, but it's not the one I really want. I used to work at a daycare for developmentally delayed children. Many of them had behavioral problems as well, so it was a very stressful job and I found myself losing control of my emotions quite often. I finally switched to an office job...

    I wish I could say something comforting and inspiring like Jeshu... All I can say is, God loves you and wants you to be happy... and I will pray for you...

    Today I'm feeling level! Hooray! It's such a relief those rare moments when you feel normal.

    Yeah, the guys who were teasing me were just saying stuff about me being crazy. I don't think they meant any harm, but I'm not sure if asking them to stop would have made it better or worse. I think they wouldn't have taken me seriously unless I showed how much it was hurting me, and then they...

    I have a couple of advice-type questions to ask y'all. First, when you're feeling really depressed (or really manic, either one), can you ever fight it off? Or does giving in to it get it over with more quickly? Today I fought depression for the first half of the day, then it go to be too much...

    Are You High, Low or Level? (5)

    Today my mood has dropped drastically. Feeling unmotivated, crying uncontrollably at work, begging God to take away the pain somehow. All I can think about is the guy who broke my heart and how much I miss him.

    Yeah, that is true, I have thought God was telling me something before and then it turned out to be something bad for me. I'm glad you have a lot of people you can talk to, Lynne. I have a few, most of the recently found, so I'm not entirely sure yet how accepting they'll be. And I just recently...

    Thanks Jeshu, I didn't see your post a minute ago. I stopped taking my meds right after that guy broke up with me. It sounds stupid, but for some reason whenever I prayed I started feeling like God wanted me to quit taking them. Is that my illness talking? Anyway, I'm supposed to start going to...

    Oh, and to answer your question, I don't know how well the natural remedies are going to work, I just started them a couple of days ago. I'll let you know in a few weeks whether I notice a difference or not.

    Thanks Lynne. I guess I ended up sharing so much because that's really what led up to me getting to the point where I want to get better. I keep hoping God will miracluously heal me of bipolar disorder. Do any of you know anyone who this has happened to? Then I wonder if maybe I am the way I am...

    Hi. I'm new to the forums, but I think I'm going to go out on a limb and share my story with you guys. I hope you don't end up thinking I'm a horrible person. My name is Kristy, and I'm 26 years old. I got saved when I was 8, and I think I've been bipolar even longer, although I was only...

    OCD Breakdown

    Don't know if you might already know this, but there is a section of the forums devoted to OCD; you might find help there as well.

    Thanks. It's not so bad right now. Not nearly as bad as it has been in the past at times. I was just manic a couple of days ago though, so I could just be in the beginning stages of depression. I'm hoping it doesn't get worse.

    Today I've been feeling kind of low. I slept 14 hours last night and still had a hard time getting up. I don't feel motivated to do anything, but I finally made myself get out of bed, excercise, shower, and go to church. That made me feel a bit better.
