• 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

Where does it say....when thou arst sad thou must have a good reason? This more than anything else baffles me. As a teenage when i was crying myself to sleep even i was telling myself...knock this depression off...you have no reason to be depressed.

Now here i am some 15 years later. I have gone from happy to utterly depressed...wishing my life were over...or never started in the first place...for no apparent reason. Except maybe that's the way the wind was blowing this afternoon.

Why can't people just accept it?
I'm moody.
And i don't usually have a reason.

Sigh.

Know that you are in my thoughts, and that each day is a stepping stone for the next. The way I figure it the steps are upwards, so maybe tomorrow will be better!

:hug: Know that you are loved by so very many, and that they would not want to see anything bad happen to you! You are cherished by He who has created you, and so very many others too!!! :hug:

I was really mad this afternoon for no reason at all myself, It's just the way this illness works out sometimes. Isn't it so great that our Heavenly Father is so very much bigger than our illnesses!!!

I agree with bipolarbear. it is this illness. I am sorry to hear this is happening for you and that you are not surrounded by people who understand and support and love you. But we do here!!! And I am saying a prayer for you!! Be careful and do not let yourself slip into an unsafe depression! Reach out for help if you need it. And if this continues do get hold of your doc!

I just hate trying to logic out an illogical illness sometimes. Is my mood better/worse because of my meds, how much I slept, stress level etc. :} or is it just this darn old unpredictable illness.

Thanks guys. I know, I'm sorry to be so glum in my post but so grateful to have a place where i can be honest when i do feel that way. You are right to be careful...and I will be. I'm feeling a bit better now.

I agree it is hard sometimes to logic out an illogical illness. I suppose that was the point of my post. This illness can sometimes be illogical and seems like everyone...including myself want logical answers.

Ah...this happens to me about once a month atleast for about half to a whole week. I know that about my cycling. It just doesn't seem to make it any easier when it comes.

Those bad thoughts fly threw my head often...so it doesn't really scare me unless they make their nest their and settle in. I guess in that way...i'm learning where the line is...that atleast it progress.

I love you guys. thanks.
