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.

I am so jealous! I have cereberal Palsy too, but I have never had the balance to ride a bike.pieman3141 said:I have cerebral palsy. Some type with an excessively complicated and long name that I cant' remember. I can walk, talk, bike, thiink excessively sometimes, and do pretty much everything a *cough*normal*cough* person can do. Except tie my shoelaces and trim my toenails. Or get a low-income McJob. Kinda sucks when you're in school and trying to pay as little debt as possible, but not having a job really makes paying off debt hard. Anyhoo... umm.... yeah... Not much else to say...
OH! Irony time! I can't speak too clearly (read: garbled at worst) but I'm studying Communications in school, and going into PR work. Teh IRONY!!! Not being able to speak clearly is probably the most stressful thing with my kind of CP, but since I dislike worrying so much, it's no biggie.
I have had a few extra problems for the past few weeks. I found out a couple of days ago I am a diabetic. My sugar level wasn't too bad but high enough to need treatment. I am trying to use diet and a low dose pill to try to control it. I pray I can stick to the diet and the pills work. Jesus will take care of me according to His plan.truckman said:I have Spinal Stenosis, Degenerative Disc Disease, severe Arthritis, Sleep Apnea and have had an ANA Test that showed a possibility of Sclearoderma. Need more test to be sure about the Sclearoderma. I also, have the early stages of Macular Degeneration. I used to work long hours and then spend as much time as I could working around my church or hunting with my Beagles. I can barely walk now. I thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ I am no worse than I am. I still do as much as I can. It isn't much somedays. I had to give up trying to work. Had to sell my house that I built and lived in 25 years. Then I was divorced after 32 years. I sat and stared at the floor of my old run down mobile home many long sleepless nights and talked with my Lord. I know he will take care of me. I know too he has a purpose for me if I will just follow His will. I haven't had a good night's sleep or a minute without pain for years, but my live is better now than it was. My Lord sent me a wonderful Christian Lady to share my life with. He has shown me what a wonderful son, understanding friends and good Christian family I have. I do have to pray hard for help to remember my blessings, forget the past and enjoy the present. I am just glad my Lord Jesus is always near and hears my prayers.
hi,HOLYisHISname said:heya,
I have Cereberal Palsy as well. Though i have a mild case...i still am facing a number of surgerys and the cruel words of my fellow class mates. I can't play sports or anything that requires a hand or leg.
talk to me...i would love to share
For me, when I am stricken with mind numbing pain or hurt by someones words, I rely on God and talk to Him. He is the one who gives me strength to move, to walk, to breath. God gives us only as much as we can handle. In my 'down' times, there is more time for conversations with Him. I try to mention as many people as I can remember, which have crossed my path through life and ponder their situations, asking for their safety and care. Maybe they needed that prayer to endure some trial in their life.nemesis855 said:question..... how does your faith in god help...
