• 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

so yeah i need help...
i have bipolar and others but i dont want to name them all. i am on meds and i have schizophrenic tendancies with my bipolar so i see things and hear things.
lately i have been having trouble keeping friends making friends, that stuff. i also have been cutting which is such an addiction for me...i stopped for about two years then i started back up recently. i fight with my family alot and sometimes i bang my head against the wall. the cops usually come to my house on a regular basis to restriane me. my hands are shaking so bad i cant draw which is like my favorite thing to do. i sleep on my parents floor because im scared stiff at night. my friends are jerks to me but i dont have the courage to stand up for myself. im paranoid that everyone is out to get me...im afraid of going outside alone because im afraid i'll be killed. i am afraid to eat grapes because im scared a spider will be in them. i have to keep my light on when i sleep in my own room because im afraid of the dark, and im afraid of being lost and forgotten.
i try to tell my doctor but he doesnt do much about it. he kind of rushes me, i know its because hes busy but, still i wish he'd listen. on top of that have been waiting since august to see him about all this, and he never returns my calls for help with my meds. i feel ignored by the only person who has some ideas to help me.
i want to change doctors but im in a mental health community where i cant....what am i supposed to do? i need help advice and prayers please!

I know it's been awhile since your post. I hope you're doing better.
You may want to look for a Psychologist or Psychotherapist. They are train to listen and to help people through fears and other problems. Psychiatrist generally just specialize in diagnosing and medicating, and their appointments are quite short. At least this is the way it is here in the US.

Take Care,
