• 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

Praying. . .maybe being manic and not looking "normal" for the hearing is a good thing??? My son looked tooo good the day of his hearing. . .But do not stress about it. If you have a good statement from an MD you should do fine. Do not qworry if they do not decide that day or ask for more info. It is frustrating but common for them to do this!!! Praying!!!!

You will not be alone sister. Jesus will be with you and we all will here at CF also.

Father God, I come to you to ask for your comfort and shelter for our sister. Lord, I pray you will make her way straight and go ahead of her to clear the way to whatever is best for her Lord! In Jesus name I pray!

Amen!

I do have a question for you all. Do any of you have the problem where you think that others are talking about you and if so how do you overcome those feelings.

Hi Battler

Vultures shows us where the dead bodies lay inside of us, to bury those times stops the vultures form flying overhead all the time.

Nasty tongues set forests on fire, so I learned not to heed those thoughts and feelings but to let Christ gracious love cleans those areas in my life the gossipers had targeted in me.

For example if you feel bad about your size you may hear the gossipers putting you down about all that, to repent of feeling bad and hand out forgiveness and grace to you that is overweight, stops those gossipers from attacking you with it in no time. Once you have been cleansed from all 'deadness' and cared for all that was dying, the vultures will disappear.

In short ask Jesus to protect you from nasty tongues, His voice has much more respect and love for you, please learn more and more to heed that.

ok since Jeshu basically beat me over the head for nothing I did maybe I need to make my question more clearer. When I walk into a room or something and I see a couple of people talking I automatically think that they are talking about me which they are most likely not how can I Overcome the fear of thinking that others are talking about me. Please only respond with personal experiences.

I work with people who are contantly gossiping about everybody else. When I show up - it's very likely that they were saying something about me - or someone that I like working with. It's tough - I get through it by reminding myself that even with BP - I'm still the sanest person at work! That always makes me feel better. I don't know if it applies to your situation??

I'm praying for you about the disability. I know just how it feels and it's a terrible time but keep looking up and let God use it as much as possible. He taught me a lot through it.

You may want to ask your other question on another thread where people will see the subject line pertaining to it.

Hi All,
I am needing prayer. I go for a hearing for my disability on Nov 3rd. I am nervous and scared about this. Plus I feel like I am in a manic state and its not leaving I see my Pdoc on the 23rd so that is good.

Disability as in SSI? I am on SSI for bipolar. If you go showing
your symptoms that is good.....to show Pdoc. I have to say though,
I only get $845.00 bucks a month on SSI and they keep cutting me
back. I have lost 100+ $'s from my check in the last few months.
It really would be better if I could work a real job....Oh well!!

I will pray for you sister that God will help you in this.:prayer:
