• 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 currently on 100mgs of Seroquel (I'm also taking Lexapro) (we've been increasing the Seroquel a little bit at a time for the past year), but my highs are still so extreme.. I've been high for the past few days now, no one in my family can handle it.. I make a fool of myself in front of people.. I hate it! I say things, do things, and really wish I could control it.. And my parents say that I can control it..but really, i try and try..and it just seems that I can't...i try so hard..you have no idea... I wish I could just get rid of it. I'm so over making a fool of myself. I even had a dream last night where I was crying about hating how I make myself into a spectacle... I honestly feel like a mental retard in front of people..like I'm just a complete joke. I hate being labelled 'bipolar'... i hate the cycles of hurt.. It just..hurts. That's what it is. After the highs, I hurt so much from the pain of realising how out of control I am, how much of a fool I make myself into..and I just want God to take me.. I don't want to be here if everyone's just going to see me as a joke..
Going from being hospitalised for overdoses, to then being so crazily out of control doing manic things...

I just wish they could understand.. I don't want this. I don't purposely set out to look like an idiot..
It hurts so much..

Sorry. Just needed to vent..

dont give up on yourself, fight as hard as you can and be the person god wanted you to be. get help, im on mood stablizers also, and just try to focus on the better things in life. i almost gave up and would have missed my children growing up, the freash air we breathe, and just life in general, which is much better with you in it. just remember there are people here to talk to, to prey with, who will be there for you when it feels like noone cares. i will prey for you as i type this message and anytime you need to talk or vent just write here and ill try to answer as soon as possible. god bless you and please take care and know that we all love you, brother, keep fighting its worth it.
