Does anyone else have disturbing thoughts when they're manic? I don't get overly weird by most people's def. but some of my thoughts disturb me... like about other men I know (other than DH). It's just not typically me and I was wondering if this was normal or if it was more a manifestation of my own special bipolar problems.

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 don't know if it is normal for a bipolar, but I know when I get a bit racy, I have thoughts pop into my head that I would never think. I do not act upon them, but they upset me that they had been in my mind. I also have this problem when I am depressed.

so I'm not totally a freak...I don't know if it is normal for a bipolar, but I know when I get a bit racy, I have thoughts pop into my head that I would never think. I do not act upon them, but they upset me that they had been in my mind. I also have this problem when I am depressed.
I just wonder how much of this is me as a sinful person, and how much of it is my lack of control due to disease, or are they related?
Sometimes I feel like I am a bad person/christian because I have these ideas and thoughts.

A daughter of the King of Kings!
One thoughts like these that are so out of character and not like who you are and who you try to be are DISEASE. One of the things that so surprised me when my meds kicked in was how some of my out of character thoughts (anger and rage and my dh being incredible awful, marriage hopeless, etc) just disappeared! I PERSONALLY feel that Satan and his crew can use thoughts against us and influence us thru them even when they are disease related. So I use CBT with God'sWord and truths to battle these thougths as well as Bod's strength and identify them as disease related and try to choose not to act on them. Guilt-ah that is a deep well. The purpose of guilt is to turn us to God and His truth! WE ARE FORGIVEN< no need for guilt if we turn it over to God and actively pray to not act on these thoughts. You see we cannot add anything or TAKE ANYTHING AWAY from the COMPLETE price that Jesus paid at Calvary. Tis a mystery how we can continue to live and sin and be forgiven, but it is indeed a free gift and not performance based! Our enemy tries to tell us we are unacceptable, how could GOd ever love us when we (fill in the blank), what a horrible person we are. When you fell thse thoughts, and this guilt. . .RUN TO GOD and tell that ol enemy that you belong to God and you are beloved and forgiven and even say it out loud if you have to and begin to speak anything out that you remember out of the Bible about God and how much he loves you!!! (Tis what Jesus did when tempted!) When those diseased thoughts get to racing and filling my brain and feel uncontrollable I pray for God the Holy Spirit to help me to control these thoughts, to "take captive each thought in Christ Jesus" to "renew my mind" (both verses-look them up) and to help me be "strong for I am weak", etc and then I begin to review the truths I can trust, the ones found in the Bible. I also pray for God to battle against the enemy on my behalf. And to give me wisdom (James 1:5 I believe)
Just my two bits. Blessings and hugs and prayers!
