• 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.

I can't stop cursing God within my own mind. I love Jesus christ he is my friend lord savior and King. I struggle with this because I use to be bi-polar. THe reason why I became bi-polar is because I use to smoke meth -ampthemanines... I haven't touched the stuff for 3 years up until last week when I smoked it for about 2 days.... it felt like heaven at first but afterward I found myself cursing GOd for no reason. Lord have mercy on my soul. I wish I can just give my entire heart mind body and soul to him but its hard to when you find yourself cursing for no reason. please pray for my recovery. In the bible it states if we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us.

Friend, I will most certainly pray for you.

Obviously, the meth is at least one source of your struggles, and you already know that. If you were able to free from this for 3 years, there is no reason that you cannot be free again.

You will not be able to enjoy a full walk with Christ if you allow yourself to be enslaved by this.

Have strength.

If you need someone to help you with this, any number of people here are willing to stand beside you. If I can help, PM or e-mail me

It's true, if we confess our sins and repent, God forgives. He is faithful even when we aren't.

You said that you started cursing after the high from the drugs had worn off. Do you blame God for not allowing you to feel "high"? If so, look at what drugs do to you. It feels good, but only until it wears off. It makes you a slave and you already suffer from some of the consequences (bi-polar disorder). No one who tries to stop you from using drugs is your enemy! I know that's a broad generalization, but isn't it true in most cases?

I will pray for you. May God deliver you from all evil.

If you knew what drugs did to you then you wouldn't touch that rubbish, its a phoney, it doesn't make you happy, it simply gives you the illusion of being happy. Nothing in this world can make you happy exept loving and helping other people, focus on that. Quitting cursing takes time, what helps is.

Every time you curse, correct yourself. I for instance first go *@(#)(@#@*

then i replace it with (my my (then giggle)) or use anything non harmfull as you see fit, i got rid of almost 99% cursing that way, nowadays i only curse when i get electrocuted or hurt really bad. So its been a real improvement for me.

There is nothing good about meth.................yes yes it makes you feel more energetic at first but every day you will try to figure out how you can get more and then that puts you around others who are out for themselves wondering the same as you. ...where to get more. Then you will be around the criminal types who steal and pawn to get the next line. They would even steal from you. your money and valuables will be gone and you will still crave the drug and have nothing to aquire it. so now you will have nothing..............


soooooooooo......not good!And it takes alot of of a person.ages them and the mood swings.............

but see you already know the downfall.........and you are worth way more then that kind of life and you know it. place yourself in a position of a child and start to think of all the things you have desired for your life. Number one on that list would probably be love......and you already have unconditional love from Jesus. Reach up and grab ahold of his love and take a deep breath........you are going to take a different path then what the world has had to offer.......you are going to be who you have always admired in others. Ask Jesus to get rid of all the things that can hinder your walk with him..........and he will. :)........and remember you are loved. You are loved soooo very much.

Love

cursing was one of the first things that God healed me of when I first became a christian. I cursed everyday, and I don't mean swear words either. I had a very persuasive mouth. it was so bad, that I would even curse in front of elders. I didn't realize I was cursing, I curse so much. but God has healed that.

However...I still have curse words come across my mind. and I hate it. and I ask God to clear my mind. and take captive those thoughts. see...I still having the effects come across my mind. of how much I use to curse befor I became a christian.

know this...their is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ. paul says that it is not I that live, but CHRIST in me. it's our old man that want's to sin. forgive yourself, and except God's forgiviness. you are now dead to sin. and alive in christ romans (chpt. 6) peace.:)
