• 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

Not feeling good.

Don't know what is going on exactly. Had a headache off and on for 3 weeks now. Mood swings...not super horrible not great. Depression lingers. Strange menstral time. No appetite for atleast 2 weeks. Now I have hot flashes. Headache almost unbearable. Tingling down my right arm off and on. Neck pain.

Thinking about going to the doctor...but worried they won't find anything. And look at me with that...why did you come here look.

Pondering going to the chiropractor...but don't have insurance coverage for that.

Gotta do something...just not sure what.

Hey sweetie...I just want you to know I am praying for you right now. I would absolutely call your Dr in the morning. What do you have to lose if he finds nothing, and if he looks at you with that look..oh well atleast your mind is at rest that nothing serious is wrong. If you dont feel its bothersome enough for a visit atleast call and leave a message to speak with him or his nurse.I hope you feel better soon ane way or another. May God bless you immensely, Crystal

Berry,
I agree with the others here. Call or go to the doctor ASAP. So what if they find nothing...at least that could rule out something it isn't. And remember that it's their job to give that service to you...disregard the looks. Nothing wrong with being concerned about your health and frankly what you have described should be looked over.

I'm keeping you and your family in prayer.

:hug:

I have thought about it. I saw my psychiatrist. He said I could up my lexapro.

I'm at home today. I haven't eaten, showered, or dressed. I don't want to see or talk to anyone. I feel anxious and am taking XAnax. I hope to do some cleaning to validate my staying home. I feel so alone, lonely, and depressed. I'm not functioning right.

I'm not sure why, but when I'm feeling horrible, like I am now I often pray more for others which includes you. Sorry you're having such a hard time. I know how it feels.

My doc also suggested increasing Lexapro. I've tried it in the past a few times and it makes me more depressed. But I'm going to try it again. Bipolar body chemistry is a moving target and makes it frustrating.
