• 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

Nikki:

Being Bipolar isn't a death sentence. Like I mean it's bad but it's doable, you know? The meds aren't that scary. Once they get you on a good set up you feel better than you've felt in years. I have 2 kids and they don't even realize their mom is sick most the time (and they are 11 and 13).

Go to a dr and get diagnosed. Heck you may not even be bp. and get on some good meds.

:hug: Dear Nikki :hug:

I am so glad you posted here :clap: You will find support, encouragement and even some answers to your fears.

What Connie has stated in the above post is very wise !

My heart aches for your past as an abused child. Do or have you ever gone for counseling for this? Have you ever seen a psychiatricist or psychologist regarding your childhood?

Please continue to post.

Dear GODSniki


In GOD'S WORD it says:

" YOU SHALL ONLY FEAR ME "

This takes some effort on our part but it is the ONLY way we can do battle with life and be victorious.


Otherwise we hold back in attempt to protect ourselves when in reality we draw into a shell.


YOU CAN FACE ANYTHING IF YOU WILL JUST REMEMBER:





X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O

Welcome Nikki to CF! Whether you have bp or not can only be determined by a doctor, preferably a psychiatrist who can also prescribe meds. And yes it can be [ainful facing the truth whether it is bp or not, but are you not living in pain now. As others have said you do not need to fear the truth, it only helps you to know what you are dealing with and get the help from God and those God has given you (docs and family) to be who you were created to be.

All of us whether b[ or not, if we are truly honest with ourselves have battles we fight and problems we must be wise are careful in facing. The bible teaches us to not be afraid of truth, to face it with God's help to face truth. love nad forgiveness.

But we must ask for the help. I am so glad you are begining the process of learning and asking.

YOu will find encouragement and support here.

Blessings and prayers!
