• 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

Please pray for broken relationship

Brothers and sisters,

Please agree with me again about a broken relationship. I scared and drove this man away again with my bipolar communications with him.

We live hundreds of miles away from each other and were maintaining a beautiful relationship via the Internet and the telephone and then we met in the physical last month and we had a wonderful time together. We had chemistry and a wonderful time. It was so natural, like we knew each other for years.

I miss him terribly. But I just can't keep my mouth shut. I am so fearful and insecrure; I try to be in control; and I keep explaining and apologizing for every single thing I say. These are emails I send him.

I act like a neurotic cuckoo bird. He finally decided enough was enough, especially after I explained and described the bipolar episodes he's actually seen in me through my letters to him since February. I haven't heard from him since the beginning of October. His patience finallly ended. I don't think I will hear from him without God's intervention.

What man wants to deal with this kind of baggage? But I know he was interested and had feelings. I can't keep writing because it makes it worse.

The visit itself went great, except for a few things that were not perfect. So it was afterwards I sent letters freaking out about all the things that I didn't do right. My house was an absolute disaster; I didn't have directions printed out to the museums we wanted to visit; I had been in an accident before he came and my cheek was bruised and swollen; I tried to make him jealous... other things. He never said anything about any of it.

He was in contact afterwards but I continued to explain and obsess. And I described my manic and depressed episodes after our visit because I stopped my meds weeks prior except 25-50 mg of Lamictal. I thought I had been healed but I wasn't.

Anyway, I'm asking God to work in his heart and help him to know how to deal with me and all this bipolar stuff, and how to respond to me. He is not yet a committed Christian, but is open. This is the man I want to share my life with.

I am praying for peace, patience and wisdom for myself. :crosseo: I'm trying to give it all to Jesus. But I'm so afraid I'll never hear from him again.

Please pray for Andreas that he will seek out Jesus Christ and come into a saving relationship with him.

Pray the Holy Spirit will soften his heart toward me and put a love in his heart for me... or stir up, multiply and bless what was once there. Pray He will restore his interest and our relationship even better than it ever was before... all for the praise and glory of His Name because only God can change and turn his heart around again. :groupray: In Jesus Name.

Thank you.:)

Yeah praise God He is already working in this. I want to encourage you in this matter because I am very close to somebody with some forms of depression who also worries, but i sincerely love her. God opened my heart for her, and has been teaching me many things as i continue to seek Him and obey Him. Nothing is impossible through the Lord sister. Trust the Lord and lean not on your own understanding. God works in mysterious ways and often things begin to form when we least expect it.

Brother Joshua, as I posted my reply, you posted yours. You are the third witness! You showed up just in time when the Lord spoke those words to me. Look at the posting time: 11:04 AM.

Thank you JoshuahM, UnitynLove and broken4him for praying and your encouragement and kindness.

Again, thank you Jesus.
