• 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

I am really starting to scare myself with how depressed i get at night. for example, last night, i walked all the way to walgreen at 10.15 pm just to buy some b***** to si with.:(

i ran into my counselor today at Fazoli's...she said she wants to meet with me on Saturday...i don't know if i want to though...i still don't quite have the guts to talk to anyone about the possibility of bipolar II.

I think that my main question is...do i really have bp II? I mean, i am always depressed, always crying, never really happy, don't eat much - and i am losing weight, and i just want to kill myself every night. i am so confused.

I need help, and i know it...but i just can't ask.

Ok Nessa sweetheart, I'm a Christian counsellor and deal with all sorts of problems with clients, people suffering how you are too. So if you want you can check my profile and PM me, many do.

When depression gets worse its for a reason, especially as your already a sufferer, the reason you need to look for with me or your counsellor is why. You admit your scared but can still go out at 10.15pm at night, so that says its a scared feeling of what you may do if your at home, in your room etc, so your mind is trying to escape those feelings by making you move out of the situation, which is good, but dangerous that late at night.

Who diagnosed you with bipolar/manic depression, as unless youve missed something out in your post, your symptoms are not Bipolar. Bipolar/Manic Depression symptoms show themselves as being extremely high, then dropping to severely depressed over a period of days. I know you say you want to kill yourself everynight, but Bipolar doesm't work like that. Plus there is no illness with symptoms like yours as Bipolar II. It sounds to me your suffering severe clinical depression, and personality disorder. If you want PM me with more info and any medication your on.

I have not been admitted to a hospital before. But I suppose it wouldn't be a pleasant experience.

I had an allergy problem for many years. But I was cough-free for 3 or 4 years with allergy shots. Then the doctor took me off the shots, expecting my immune system improved. It didn't. I had severe sneezing, coughing, etc. I couldn't sleep at night for days.

Somehow I was determined not to see the doctor and sought healing from the Lord. I suffered much, but I refused to see a doctor. Eventually, when I cried out to the Lord like a forlorn child, he visited me delivered me from the symptoms.

As I look back, I see my arrogance. I was too arrogant to submit myself to the cares of doctors. I didn't have the humility to lower my head before the doctors, and ask for help.

I don't know if my story applies to you or not. I shared it with you just in case if it would be wise for you to receive medical help from hospital staff.

In the meantime, do not stop seeking help from the Lord. Read his words in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John everyday. Talk to him everyday in submission.

I am still praying for you.

Rupert
