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.

I spent enough time in my apartment, I really want to write a book and be a holder of a Phd in marine biology. Did I miss the boat? or plane. is too late to go to school?
I believe Jesus Christ's word and the holy spirit, will soften my heart and change my thoughts into productive ones, this will change my life.
Is autism something that can or cannot be changed.
Is autsim like a arm that has been cut off or not grown at birth which means it can not be changed? or is it something that can be changed like a persons way of viewing and perceiving life and the world around them?
Should I fight to change or should I accept?
imo it can not be changed, but it can be managed like diabetes?
Accept the things you can no change, change the things you can, and have the knowledge to know the difference.
I am trying to have the knowledge to know the difference.
Judging by your writing ability...you don't have a type or degree of autism which will leave you permanently disabled.
I think it's better if you look at it as a matter of perspective. Your autism is something that will skew your perspective to something different from most people's perspectives. This isn't something that is necessarily always a "bad" thing.
If you can understand when and how it skews your perspective...I think you can reasonably compensate for it, and lead a happy, healthy life.
You are right, you see I am diagnosed with schizo affective-bi polar type, disorder too. But I no longer will accept the diagnoses I do not have schizo- affective bi polar disorder. It is only a label, and labels are for cans. I will believe thou, that at times, I can have a few misperceptions about things in others opinion, if I were to open my selective mustism mouth.
But I would not trade it for a million dollars, it is a gift. I like what is on the T.V, so to say in my mind. Why shall I take something that will alter this perception? I can alter and tweek the channel anytime I want. I am a great pretender, but I am also a believer in what I chose to believe in. I am also a doer of all things I put my mind to.
You were diagnosed with both the schizo affective bi-polar type and autism? Have you ever sought a second...or even third opinion?
I would like
He is the second opinion. I received the first from a muslim which I know I am not suppose to judge but at the time I felt bad vibes from her and I believe I judged righteously. The psychiatrist I have now seems fine but he is a nay sayer about what I can acheive in life and puts alot of labels on me, which I believe are suppose to be used for cans. It is not easy to recieve a psychiatrist here in Canada and what I really need is the universes best psychologist our Lord.
Nothing can be done because of lack of funding from the canadian mental health association in regards to receiving cognitive behavioral therapy. And nothing can be done about getting a psychologist.
So I became my own psychologist and use cognitive behavioral therapy using the WORD.
If one truly believes in our Lord and savior and that he can truly save. And I am not a treat to myself or others, then why do I need to see anyone beside the Lord for my issues?
I'm a full grown man that lives on his own, that studies the Word, 12 hour days, for a very long time.
I have alot of wisdom to provide my psychiatrist, he has nothing to offer me. I need a hand up not out, and if he can not help me with anything, I do not see why I should see him. If all he does is tell me that I am delusional and have intrusive thoughts. How is this healthy? why do I bother getting man's advice, when I have a direct line to Jesus?
*Hugs* you did better than I would have in that situation. Sorry you experienced that.I was spit on and called a Jew, should I be thankful? was it a blessing? Do Christians not have the right to defend themselves? I was spit on by a lukewarm Christian, because I did something to his sister!
I was called out side of my name: Clint on several occassions and made fun of my entire life because of that name. Should I change it?
I will fit nicely in with the population of Australia. I speak the Kings English. KJV.
Why wouldn't you accept the other 2?I have ADHD to lol. he just throw lables at me seeing what will stick. Aspergers I will accept and ADHD I will acccept but schizo-affective bi polar I will not.
doing something in reaction to this would not be self defense but rather an act of retaliation.I was spit on and called a Jew, should I be thankful? was it a blessing? Do Christians not have the right to defend themselves? I was spit on by a lukewarm Christian, because I did something to his sister!
