• 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'm fine!

Praises and Thanks to God!

My thyroid is functioning normally and instead of having TOO MUCH Lithium like we were afraid of I actually have very little Lithium in my system- <0.2 and normal range for me would have been 0.6 - 1.2 mmol/L.


I see that as my miracle. The levels aren't even normal they're below normal! And in this case that's great because I was more concerned about my health than managing mood swing at that point. I was SO scared and the Sunday after I had the test done I went to God. I sometimes have a hard time giving in to God when I'm hurting but that Sunday He spoke to me and I broke...something broke and I gave it all to Him. I cried out to Him, in tears and gave up my fears, my tears, anxiety and worries. The message was on Acts 3:19, the Refreshing. I NEEDED that! He renewed me and lifted me. I knew that this was my season of breakthrough...no matter what the enemy told me, I had to hold on to what God told me...WHO'S REPORT SHOULD I BELIEVE?

That's why that is my miracle. My pdoc is scratching his head. I am too...but I know the power of the TRUE AND LIVING GOD so I just trust.

There's no explanation at this point for why I was acting so oddly for the last couple months. Hence we thought my levels were toxic or that my thyroid was off. But it's all good...all God. My hormones were messed up...I missed two periods, my skin went berserk, I was hyperemotional, super sensitive, I got headaches, irritable, crying, I started putting on weight...all sorts of stuff...But God's good and He can do ALL things!

Dear Youthwalk


I'm very happy for you. Your so young to have any problems from to much med.


What I'm concerned about is if the doctor is going to bring you up to the proper dosage??? It sounds as if that could of been your problem.


Even missing two periods shouldn't have you in that shape. Once a bipolar always a bipolar. UNLESS GOD HEALS YOU!!! But if that is so then we should not be having those symptoms.


Let me know what doc said.


IN OUR JOY WE NEED TO REMEMBER:
