• 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

I am really struggling I am "boarder line " Bi Polar and have been really having a hard time with this lately !!!. I can't seem to fight off the rapid thoughts of suicide or simply taking it out on myself. I am a born again Christian, and I know that God didn't make me to destroy myself and that he has a special plan for me and a calling on my life.

I was just recently put on another medication and my psychiatrist is trying to wean me off !!! . I am back to thinking about doing something to put myself back in the hospital just to protect myself and my precious family !

I know deep down , I could never hurt them but the thoughts are there , I know that God is with me because he's the one thats keeping me somewhat sane right now, I need to stay focused on Gods word but I am having a hard time focusing on anything !
Even this post is taking me a while to write.........Oy !........ The truth is I am scared extreemly scared. I don't understand whats happening to me.

I feel like I'm slowly going insane .

Please pray for me.

Love In Christ

Hey Laura :wave:,


Sounds like you are having a really rough go of things. I think we have a lot in common - from reading your other post. I have an autistic daughter who is 5. I have two more daughters (3 and 1) who are healthy. My daughter's autism isn't severe But it is bad enough. I struggle with feelings of guilt a lot over it. Who knows why.

I also have bipolar disorder. Not a terrible case of it. But one nonetheless. I struggle with severe depression and psychosis when I am at my worst. But it takes a while for me to get there. I am taking a great combination of meds now that seem to work well for me.

I had a really bad case of postpartum depression after my 3rd daughter was born and found myself thinking that it would be better if all of us died. It was a horrible time. When I finally told my Dr that I had been having homicidal and suicidal thoughts, she admitted me to the hospital and got really agressive with my meds. Within a week, I was feeling a lot better. But the memory of those feelings was quite traumatic, as I am sure you can imagine.

I will be praying for you and your precious family tonight. I would love to talk to you a little more, if you would like. You can email me, or I have MSN messenger. Chadr@mts.net and Hephzibite@msn.com

Take care of yourself and stay safe.

Lexi

Praying for you!!!!! And your family! Try to find a Bilbe or Bible verses on tape or cd, just listen. And remember God's Holy Spirit intervenes in our prayers, even when all we can get out is HELP!!!! Know you are loved and supported here. Meds cahnges suck and can be a roller coaster ride. It will get bettere, just keep trying!!! Yes in deed focus on letting God be your strength when you are to weak, ask Him to "take every thought captive" and "to renew your mind with the mind of Christ" when you are to weak to do it yourself!!!! Prayers!

God Bless you Lil Sis...

I know you may think this strange.. but,,, I too was recently diagnosed with BiPolar AND Adult ADHD,,, BUT the strange thing is.... I'm happy about the diagnosis...
because,, now.. I can experience healing and understanding so some day,,, God can use me to support others going through the terrible stuff that is associated with this. I say all to say this,, be encouraged and of good cheer... someday,, God will use you to have compassion on others too... first things first... Be blessed in the Lord and the Power of His might!! Praise him, thank him, and glorify him.. he has a great work in store for you!! God Bless in Jesus Name! Amen.

Hi Laura,

I posted on another thread that I have an 8 yr old stepson who has autism. He lives with us full time now, and I have a 9 yr old and an 11 yr old both with ADHD.
How conincidental (?) three of us here with autistic children!

How are you feeling today?

Doula- dont feel guilty about it. You didnt do anything to cause your child's autism.
