• 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.

any healling begins at the cross. salvation is the greatest healling we can hope for. like job said to his wife, "...... Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips." Job 2:10

my official diagnosis is a type of bipolar-schizophrenia. doctors agrued it because of my thought process being clearer than most (on good days)... but clearly i have a permanate neurological issue. i sought healling. my family sought healling. the church prayed for me (a few people prayed for deamons to leave me - which i completely disagreed with because i know Jesus is in my heart). i even tried no meds: i had faith and believed i was healled and left my meds. i am blessed and a leader in our community. i had it all: God's great arms around me.
.... i still have it all. but i ended up back on meds. God showed me that healling is spiritual for me. i am humbled and greatful for this. it is the best healling i could hope for. some people will be physically healled. some people called to manage their struggles (which i found draws me close daily to Jesus). it's all the same under God's salvation.

we have to learn how to build eachother up right where we are. we can pray, support, and share our struggles... though individually it is up to each person to learn what God has for them in their lives.

God's loving relationship in our lives is the only real answer to anyone's direction in life. the only true healling we have from everything earthly.

Thank you Dee for posting that. My docs don't recognize a part of my illness because I am so capable in some areas, and I just can't get docs to see that.

You said healing was spiritual. Can you talk a little more about that. Cause you still have the disease but the healing is spiritual. Hope my question is clear.

Thanks and love, from ganaan

:hug: i hope that i can answer in a way to give you encouragement and hope.
as a child of God; our first healling is what Jesus gives us.

then next:

Romans 12:1-2...
I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Titus 3:1-7
1 Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities, to obey, to be ready for every good work, 2 to speak evil of no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing all humility to all men. 3 For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. 4 But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, 5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

in a nut shell; the way God teaches us is by our life in spiritaul lessons and the growth of us spiritaully is what gives us tools to overcome and manage what we all struggle with (wheather it be bipolar or other... & wheather we have God's devine intervention or not).

in my case, meds help me stay on track when my mind is rushed and confused in thinking. but if i don't stay inturned spiritaully to my walk with the Lord, (especailly in the word and prayer) then i have nothing. no answers, no comfort, no hope.

what made me write this thread was private pms asking me for help. i want you to know that whatever your circumstances are, healled physically or not;
your healling is secure through Jesus. be encouraged to manage the best you can and know you are blessed. God honors you, just as you are. God uses us to bear fruit, just as we are. you are special and blessed.

Goldenviolet, those are truly inspiring words. At one point in my life, I almost gave in and let my illness control me. When I accepted God in my life, I then realized I had to stand up and fight it. I have my battles from day to day, but God always sees me through. I also learned that God expects me to do my part in life. He's not going to sit back and do it all for me. He showed me that although he will stand beside me, and carry me when he sees fit, I have to do some things on my own in order to grow. That's when I realized that meds and therapy were a very important part of my healing. I have to do my part, and God will put the pieces in place. GOD IS WONDERFUL!

Hi Goldenviolet,
Fist of all I would like to say thank you and god bless you for your support and encouragemnet on this forum, I see people who are in need posting there griefs, and you are usually the first to have loving response. My main question is I was curious if you have to take meds just on the occasion that you don't feel well or if it's everyday? Also thanks for the previous posts!

Daryl

:wave: :hug: hello Darrell! blessings to you! i have daily meds to control chemical balance and i've used extra meds to help me cope with phycotic episodes.
i have learned for the most part what to do. how to keep myself in balance. when stress keeps me from being ok, i have things i do to cope. we have a thread here about coping.. i have alist of things i bounce around on. plus getting help from people that are supportive... and i know everybody at the local phyciatric crisis center :blush: ... i just do whatever i need to, to stay safe, and help me cope.

Dear Daryl

Not taking meds is risky business. Seek meds that you can tolerate. They are out there. Some times it takes awhile because first you need to start a med and then get it up to the strength that will work.

Never forget that with depression you life is at stake! Don't wait to the last minute or it could be to late!

ALLWAYS REMEMBER:

XEven though you can't see Him, GOD is there!O
( click on the X and move to the O ) ( then feel who is around you )
