• 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.

  • Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

Knowing the difference, being able to talk to your physician.

It took years for me to realize that my frequent crashing had a reason.
I would eventually realize that it was every 3 weeks, and I told my psychiatrist who promptly changed my regimen.
It was also a matter tapping into what my initial commitment meant, I would then have to learn to communicate effectively with my Doctor as without the right information I could never be helped.

Most of us don't get knocked on our butts when getting prayed for, sometimes the miracle can be seen.
The rest of us learn to be committed to treatment as its the only responsible thing left to do.

I've worked with many doctors who have tests, procedures or protocols that they can do to provide the stabilizing effects as needed, even without such an accurate history. Some do rely on the accurate history (or reports of changes) more , and some less, with varying degrees of good results.
