• 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.

There are times when we just want to get something off our chest in a safe place, without starting a discussion, or being showered with advice.

So... in this thread, feel free to vent, without fear of being judged.
Make sure you keep within the rules.. no bad language, flaming, giving or criticising medical advice to others.

Encourage others, offer hugs, but please don't give advice unless specifically asked, or comment on other people's views.

And thanks to jellybean for giving me the idea that such a thread may be useful:)

I'm so honored to be the poster boy for bipolar lunacy. Thank you so much for this!:bow: How will I ever find a way to show my appreciation?

Venting.

Well lets start with the fact that I'm going on two hours of sleep in the past 48 hours. Manic, then depressed in the never ending cycle of bipolar. I feel like I'm riding a roller coaster here. Then I have to work every day from 6:00am until 1:30pm, some may be like oh quit complaining, but this is a completely different schedual then my body is used to. I'm used to sleeping when I want so this new schedual is really kicking my body into bad shape. Then on top of which I'm extremly moody because my "friend" decided to come today, extremly early, and so I'm worried. And on top of that, add the stress of the never ending Jason arguing with me, hitting me, and telling me im the one wrong, and then add the confusion because I like my friend..

When will it ever end?

EDIT - Jellybean, I think that some proper appreciation, not sarcasm, would be a good thing here... because I think that this will be a good thread to have. I know that I will appreciate it, for one.

...

ARGH!!!!

:mad:

I am so sick of college...
...so sick of being nice to people...
...so sick of bipolar...
...so sick of grades...
...so sick of meds...
...so sick of TRYING AND TRYING AND NEVER BEING GOOD ENOUGH!!!

:cry:

jellybean, would you like a hug as well? ((((jellybean))))

One for Criada for starting this great thread:

I could use a hug too, although I have nothing to vent--at least not right now. I just wanted to say great thread!

Thank you for this thread! What a great idea :hug:

Well I got a slight vent.. My Hubbie woke up in a bad mood and I didnt know it and I joked with him asking him to take the day off,and he nearly did call in. He was changing our son and some thing was said, and then he said to me "Your making my life a living h*ll" and I said to him well thats real MATURE! Thanks! I cant get it out of my head.. <sigh>

So I'm kind of upset even tho Hub did apologize its still hard.. Words cant be taken back..

Anyway thanks for this thread..

Laura :pink:

Moriah, there's a thread for creative writing & art, but that is pretty much for bipolar people... I guess... I don't know. But if the poetry is venting poetry, then go for it, I guess. There aren't many rules for this thread. :)

...

(((((((Laura))))))) Thinking of and praying for you, love.

(((((((A-M))))))) Hang tough, beautiful - you can make it. I know you can. :hug:

...

((((((Ariel))))))) - you are indeed a good encourager - as are you, Criada. Thank you two for being so lovely. :hug:s

...

I am frustrated that I had to get up this morning. Sounds silly but I really don't want to face another day of being upbeat and awake in the morning, then getting all crappy and teary after the meds and the caffeine wear off. It's hard to deal with, really, and uni is as well... and both together make me want to cry even more.

:sigh:
