• 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.

Hi berry,

to begin with sweet remember youve NOT failed, ok your having a rough patch, you lost control, you became desperate, but you have NOT failed. No-one knows what your struggling with at present, youve just mentioned moderate depression, now something has either happened or you may have a problem were depression comes on every so often, I don't know, but whatever it is possible that the depression brought this on.

Try now lifting your head high again and start a fresh, forget how youve slipped, and move forward. Don't beat yourself up about it ok love.

Lord Jesus I ask you'll lift berry out of this depression, help her to start afresh and pray that the enemy doesnt play in any part of whats happened, in Jesus Name. Amen

Im-revived

:pray:
I was at it last night again. A little out of control. Sometimes this happens after I slip up it's like it doesn't matter for a little while and I can do whatever. I'm also battling a moderate depression. Please pray for me. I don't want to continue in this way.

Thanks guys. I am feeling not so depressed anymore like I am coming out of it. Yes, I am also bipolar so the depressions and the hypomania's come and go and I've learned to cope with it in a healthy way most of the time. This time though it was a little more than I could handle. I know....it is not more the God could have handled....so I must learn to ask for help from him more and remember his promises more....sometimes though it just gets so dark so fast it takes my breath away and I panic.

Hi Berry2000: It's good that you're feeling better. I too am Bi-Polar. What helps me is that I have a plan in place. Ready to follow if I lose control or begin to panic. I make myself do it no matter how I feel. That way I know that I'll be safe and there will be no regrets later. Remember that we get to start over everyday because God's mercies are new every morning. mamalonglegs. I'll pray for you throughout the week. Let me know when you feel like you are on solid ground again. Much Love.

I've been rereading this. You are so right. This is where I need to go next. Thank you for all your kind words...after SI I especially don't have many kind words for myself. So it helps when someone else does.
