• 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

I have been taking my meds but this all started Monday night. I was manic (as ussual)! and could not sleep even after my 400mg dose of serequel! So then I finaly slept for like 24 hours and today was horrible! I'm hearing voices when it's quiet, I'm an emotional disaster. Jesus help me. Please pray for me... I'm also a recovering addict (as some of us are) and when I'm uncomfortable or unhappy I really want to use. I've been clean 15 months but today had me questioning everything. I don't get like this often. As I'm laying down to hopefully sleep... All I can do is pray tomorrow will be better.

Hey.. I just came across your post, I know it's from over a week ago, but I just want you to know I'm praying for you.. Bipolar is an ongoing thing..and so it's good to have support and prayer all the time...

How are you doing now?

I've been having to keep increasing my Seroquel because....The same thing had been happening with me, where I'd be manic..sleep all day..then completely crash into a low... It doesn't happen this bad so often for me either, but this past month has been the hardest one so far of this year! So I know how much it sucks...
so, I'll be praying for you. If you ever have any specific things you'd like prayer for, shoot me a message and I'll be sure to pray for you..

Hope you're okay!

My thanks to Laurie, for helping me through a rough time last week. I was having very strong suicidal ideations and she talked me through it.

My teenagers checked the history that day and saw I had been googling how to kill myself with...basically any kind of medication I had in the house. They got all alarmed but said not a word to me. They told everyone they knew and everyone at church, even the pastor.

It's quite embarrassing. I only found out when I confronted Hannah's counselor about why she wanted to move Hannah into another foster home. Then she told me what everybody was saying about me. Many, many ppl were talking about me behind my back, mainly people very dear to me at my church.

This was during the week last week, it was hard showing up for church today. I can't describe to you some of the looks I get from people. Like, "sigh,", oh she's here, she's so much trouble.'

I am not suicidal anymore. And I am ready to continue to let God help me tackle the problems in myself and my home.
