• 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 continued prayers for my brother (the one for whom I started the thread). I now believe he too may be bipolar and need treatment which he refuses. He is on a downward spiral and doesn't have God in his life and he is destroying his family. Pray for salvation and if he needs treatment pray he will open up to the idea.

Also pray for his wife, for a job and praise the Lord she has started attending church and is being blessed by her congregation more than I could have hoped for. She is turning to the Lord and is bringing the 3 kids with her. Half my prayers for this family is being answered.

The other half, my brother, is spiraling out of control.
I'm sorry about your brother Berry. My prayers are with him, your sister in law, their kids, and you.

Please pray for my app't with my new psychiatrist tomorrow morning (Wed.). I'm nervous because I have a long history and I'm not an easy case. I've written it out on two pages so I won't forget anything.


I am praying for you, and for wisdom for your doctor. What a wonderful thing to write it up so that you don't forget anything, but it must have been hard to put it down in writing! May God calm you and give you the right words to say to allow you to find the right treatment!!:groupray:

I love how everyone is writing down prayer requests as it is a good idea that we pray for each other going through very similiar issues.

I will add all the prayers on my prayer list!

I understand about the selling the house thing. That really put me in a hypomanic mode. Oh my. God knows how much we can handle and I was about ready to lose it. I couldn't handle the people coming over to my house for a "show." The stress of that alone just about killed me. Thankfull, the Lord provided a buyer just in time to get me back from OH to home in WA state. I praise the LOrd. I do believe he won't give you more than you can handle...obviously the Lord knows that I can't handle much in those situations. My house in AZ sold in one day and the house in OH sold in three weeks (which is very unusual in Columbus as most houses are on the market for at least three months. God's timing was perfect.

Praying for you all!

Thanks for understanding Nateboy,

We've got an conditional offer now and we put an offer in on a house today. Waiting to hear if the people who bought our house sold. That would be nice.

Oh, Wendy... I am sorry to hear you are hurting this way. I can really tell by your post the pain you are in. The only thing I really know to do is pray.

Father God in Heaven,
Please be with Wendy. Help her to feel your presence. Send your angels to comfort her. Give her the strength she needs for each day...whatever your plans are for her that day. Help her to find safe boundries within her limits for each day. And let her know we love her!

I think it is wonderful when we all come to agreement for prayer. I know that when two or more are gathered God's is in the mist. amen.

Father thank you for this Christian Forum. Bless those especially who have opened and shared their hearts here. I ask that you will meet each one of them and answer their prayer petitions in the name of Jesus.

My Dear Friends :wave:

As you can tell by the time on this post, I am at work :)

About mid morning, I noticed one of the techs online on one of the comps. This is the only comp I thought could hook up to the net...I was wrong. :) Not that I will be spending work time on here. Only on the wknd's during my breaks...but I think that's FAB!!! During the week is just too busy to think about anything else other than work :)

Talk about a God sent answered prayer. Just the knowledge that I could reach out to yous....made me quite happy (to say the least :) )

I think Berry...you're gonna have to change the threads name to PRAYER REQUESTS AND ANSWERED PRAYERS.
:)

Thank you for the prayers.

With Love,
:hug: s & :prayer: s,
Wendy

You might be right about that, Wendy.

I posted several pages back about my DH's job issues. Well, he has an interview on Wednesday. I am hoping for two things. 1.) He will be offered the job and 2.) If he is offered the job, that it will pay enough to pay our bills. The job he currently has does not. Thanks in advance and know that I am praying for all of you daily.

Please pray for my daughter (4) I just spent the night with her in Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at the local hospital. She was released today. They say she has Croup (which is that seal barking cough thing) where basically they can't breathe well. Her airway constricted (not completely) but enough to scare us to death and land us in the hospital. She is doing well at the moment and is at home with me.

What a scarey cough that is.

Jesus, son of God, I come to you in prayer, I lift up this daughter to you. Your word says that by your stripes we are healed. I pray that you would heal this child and restore her body, and give her rest. Bring peace to this household, your peace that surpasses all understanding. I thank you Jesus for all that you have done and all that you are going to do.
Amen.

I am really struggling with zyprea. It is the only drug that truly holds me but the weight gain has been crazy and I am already obese. :cry: I started counseling with a psychologist about my weight trying to figure out why I take care of everyone else but me. I have now gained 30 pounds. Thank you for your prayer in advance

YOur words describe me to a tee!!!! I have found that those of us with bp tend to be very caring individulas who do not find themsleves worth caring for. It is still a major struggle for me evne thought the meds have helped me stop the worthless thoughts about myself. Right now I am discovering how I turn to food for stress relief and I view any emotion as stress, no wonder I weighed over 250 pounds!!!! I have lost but hit a majopr bump about a year ago and it is this stress/emotional eating that I am battling the most right now. I do not feel I will finish the weight loss until I deal with turning to God as my source of all instead of food. Just me and my experience. I am praying for you and I pray that you will find the answers you seek!!! There were 2 books that really helped reshape my thinking on this stuff and I am working on the third one now. Please pray for me as I pray for you!!! We can win this battle to understand and have a Godly healthy focus despite our weight only with the hlep of GOd the HOly SPirit! Blessings and prayers
