• 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

It's greywolf. I know I haven't been on here in a really long time. I hope you haven't been worried about me. I have been having problems with my e-mail connection. For some reason, when I try to go to this site, browser crashes and I'm kicked out. I got in today though. For some reason, I can usually get pms, so if anyone wants to talk private please pm or e-mail me.

I have good news. I am doing so much better! A few of you may remember what a hard time I was having. well, I went into the hospital willingly. I realized that my combination of medicines was not helping, and had never really helped. After some trial and error, and two hospital stays, I got on a whole new bunch of meds. And they are really working well. I feel 1000x times better. My symptoms, though they have not disappeared entirely, are under control. I am sleeping every night the right number of hours and a functioning normally! No more huge mood swings or days spent in bed. :D I'm doing so much better. I wish all of you the same. Keep trying! God will heal us all in His own time. I will pray for all of you. God bless.

And thank you all so much for your kindness and support.

GW

I am glad you are doing better! That is awesome! Bi polar is just like any cronic illness and needs to be managed. Sounds like you have a real good handle on knowing your meds and yourself. I am pleased to meet you. I myself am bi polar, have anxiety with panic, PTSD, and agoraphobia. Lots of hugs to you!:hug: :wave:

Nice to meet you too, PW! Feeling so much better, it is easy to forget that bp is chronic and will always be with me. The temptation to think I'm all 'cured' is great. But I know I must keep taking my medicine regularly, and keep praying and hoping that this combination keeps working. Please pray that I am able to enjoy my 'reprieve' in the now without obsessing about and fearing the future. As for knowing my meds and what I need, I've been 'learning' and 'practicing' for over ten years! Best of luck and God's love to you as we both struggle with this difficult illness.
