• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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 bipolar disorder.
Lets just say it has not made my life that easy to stand.
My moods and my modivation fluctuate every minute it seems and its as if no one understands me. I just dont know what to do sometimes.


Does anyone else feel the same way or have any advice?


Please and thank you <3

I used to feel the way you described, but since I have been on the right medications and in therapy with a really good therapist, I have been stable more days than not.

I hope you are seeing a psychiatrist and in psychotherapy. I don't know what you know about Bipolar Disorder, but life can be good with the right medications and good therapy.

It can feel like it is hard to get through at times. Therapy,meds, a support system really do help out. We can't do it all on our own. I would do a search and see if anywhere in your area. Look at the NAMI sites and other mental health sites. Call your local mental health clinic, they should know too. Use to have a bipolar support group here where I live and it doesn't meet anymore, I really wish it did.

BP is all over the world, many of the patients don't know the correct healing method and don't have good therapist. But you have the strong surport system, go ahead with the symptoms, working and living. Some BP patients live with the symptoms all the life, even if in this case don't be disappointed please.
