• 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

Here I am today :sigh: :( :( :sigh: :scratch: :cry: :sigh:

I turned on K-Love (a Christian net radio station), and listening to the music brought tears to my eyes. Wondering why I can't 'feel' that joy at this time. Then the DJ spoke on lifes Highs & Lows, Ups & Downs. He was speaking generally. It got me thinking, everyone has these times...why am I so affected? Is it due to the fact I am b/p and experience everything to the 'extreme'?

I was thinking "What's wrong with me"? God has brought me from the pits of despair...why am I in this state??? :confused: I should be happy :clap: , joyful :D ! Yes in my heart, I am thankful, at peace, and with a joy that Jesus will continue to work on me till He comes to take me Home. It's just not in my mind???

I feel I may have 'plateaued' :confused: ? Was it mania and now the 'crash'?? I have tasted the joy of being 'level' in the first time since I can't remember! I so want this back.

I don't want to analyze this to death. I guess in around about way...I'm asking for prayer.

Thanking you with :hug: s & :prayer: s,
Wendy

Hey, ya, boy do I understand, Wendy.

And it seems to me like I can be manic about some things while suddenly very destraught about others. Guess that's what I get for being a b/p gemini :D J/K

Seriously though, I am an avoider. When I get down, I try to be all high and happy by avoiding responsabilities and facing things I need to do. Like fix up my new apt :(

:hug:
