Appreciation!

[angelkiss]

I just want to say that I appreciate CF for giving us this forum, as well as, I appreciate everyone in this forum.
It's hard when you mingle amongst people in everyday life and they don't understand you. Sometimes, when I tell people I'm bipolar they say things like "But you don't act bipolar." Almost makes me chuckle inside cause I'm thinking "If you only knew!" Other times, when I tell people I'm bipolar they get scared and try to avoid me for they think I'm going to start swinging at them at any given second or I'm going to go off the deep end and start ranting and raving.
When no one has a clue as to what you're going through it causes that sense of lonlines and sometimes you just want to isolate yourself from the outside world. That way you don't have to explain yourself so much. At least that's how I feel and I'm sure many of you feel the same either some of the time or all of the time.
Here, we all understand and therefore we can support one another and say "Hey, I know what you're going through" To hear that from someone who REALLY knows means alot.
Thank you for always being here and for always being supportive.
I'm sorry for not being here and being supportive of you when I was going through my episode, but when I'm to the point of not really following my own advice, it's really hard for me to give it.
Y'all are very special to me and I don't know what I would've done without you.
I LOVE Y'ALL SO MUCH!!
May God Bless and Keep You Always!

Well Angelkiss...I must say you summed my thoughts about this forum perfectly. This place has been such a refuge for me. This is where I learned to be honest with myself about bp and finally excepted that it is a part of my life. This is where I have been encouraged to read Gods Word and pray. This is where I came out of my shell, perse. You dear "friends" have given so much support and encouragement...Thank you just doesn't seem to be enough.

With s & s,
Wendy

There are bipolar forums out there and there are Christian forums out there but this is BOTH!! YAY!!

I feel right at home here.

The love and fellowship we find here is such a true blessing sent from above and the moments I spend here at CF are moments that I treasure. It feels good to know that we can come here and pray for one another, laugh with one another, and even cry with one another.

I still have the title "newbie" but I agree completely. I have never found a place where I felt I could really be myself. And really get the help I need. I had gotten tired of being the one who always had "problems" that I quit seeking prayer and encouragement for them. But I have both of those here, and maybe I can get the courage I need to face the "real" world, knowing this is always a safe place for me.

Alana, the thanks is great. I think I speak for everyone when I tell you that your presence is as much a blessing for all of us as ours is for you.

When people try to tell me that Mental illness is a figment of the imagination, I say, "Well, I'll stop taking my meds for a couple of weeks and then drop by and allow you to determine which of the two of me you're talking with."

That always seems to satisfy their curosity about things.

Glad to have you active here in the super-friends network! Keep up with things. You sound so much better!

Hi Angelkiss

IT IS AWESOME THAT WE CAN SHARE, LIFT ONE ANOTHER UP IN PRAYER, SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER, AND ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER !

You know, with all the other forums out there, that the enemy (meant not to capitalize) uses to "drag people down", it is a BLESSING and more to have sites like this and others that carry the message and help those who are suffering!

s & s,
Wendy

to that Wendy! I love to see people working for God and even though we haven't met personally, it's a wonderful feeling to think that one day we will meet face to face and fellowship with one another for all eternity!
