• 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.

:wave:It has been a very stressful week or so and rather than resting in God I have let the stress get to me. I have felt very overwhelmed by evrything expected out of me by others and once again fallen into the pattern where I take care of everyone else but myself. Not very healthy thinking!!!

But GOd is faithful. My hubby and I are working together to tyr and resolve the issue of my son's friend Zach, who we have confirmed is indeed homeless. But we have also decided that we are not the local flop house or mission. Pray the my husband will have wisdom and words for the nine days I am gone in dealing with this situation alone.

Pray that God will provide the car part we need for my daughter's car. We need it today, or life will get really complicated, and we have been trying to get it for about a week now!

Pray my son will remain calm and there will be peace iny home while I am gone as my son is taking his adderall and not his abilify-a bad combination as the adderall alone can trigger mania. My son is already not reacting well to me.

Praise God that my sodium level has returned to normal and I can be at peace traveling thru the heat of New Mexico and Texas as I return my daughter to college. Also pray that this trip will be a time of healing and peace and rebuilding relationships with my daughter.

Otherwise life is very busy and I have many obligations that are weighing on me. I ask for prayer for wisdom in getting my life back in order with how God wants me to use my time. i would like to get back to my diet and excercise as well as regain control over my schedule and the expectations of me, as well as prioritize tiem with my hubby. The other major stressor is our finances and boy do we need provision and wisdom for dealign with that issues.

Well that is a nutshell. Thank you all for your [prayers! I will be leaving Monday for about 10 days!!

I will keep those of you here in my prayers as well!!!:groupray::groupray:

May God bless you many times more than what you pray for me!!!

Blessings and prayers!!!:bow::hug:

Don't mean to steal your thread, but for me:

I've been struggling with anxiety and depression. Zyprexa isn't working for me and I feel very uncomfortable all the time (how's that for vague).

The referral person at the new clinic was on vacation and I'll be talking to him on Monday hopefully. So I'll get a new doc then but don't know when an appointment will be available.

Applying for disability-should be at least a year til we see a judge. :(

As always, exercising what little I can, eating well, praying and reading.

Thanks for asking.

I still can't believe your sodium is better. That's great. And you got the car part. Send some of those blessings my way. I could use it.

Lemonflavor,

thank you for the update! I will be praying that this connection with a new doctor will happen quickly and that he will be able to help you with getting the meds you need. I had hoped you had been albe to make the ocnnection already. It does seem like everything takes more time than we would want. May you rest in God's had and may God give this new doctor wisdom form on high for the right meds or meds to help you find a stable place.

Hey, car part is on the car, my hubby worked into the dark last night ot get it finished and the a/c which we were told worked jus fine when we bought the car, does not glow cold, lukewarm is the best it gets, so we are still trusting God that we will be able to work it all out. We have a coupon to get free labor on a a/c service, so if our neighbor who is a mechanic cannot help us with what to do, we will call the garage first thing Monday mornign and beg them to do it quick before we take off and just get a later start.

I am still amzed we foudn the part. We had been looking at junkyards for a week for it and finally gave up and ordered it from the dealer with a guarantee that it would be in this last Friday, only to be told when we went topick it up that is was coming from California and would be here weds or Thursdaythis weekk-this after we had paid for overnight shipping-so now we are praying that we can work out the bill with the dealer and not have to pay the 20% restocking fee and amybe even get the shipping back-we padi the dealer $265 dollars and then also had to pay the junkyard $45, so it would be an amazing blessing from God if this bill was resolved without us having to pay any of those fees as they did not deliver it overnight as promised. We will see what they decide Monday.

And all of this was after the guy we bought the car from promised to get the part for us a month ago and when we last saw him
tuesday said he would have the p[art to us by 3 pm on Thursday! Sigh! I am just thankful that God reminded me to relax and trust HIm and that he so amazingly found us the part at the last minute-so if God can create a car part out of thin air, then I think he can handle a little bit of freon!!!! :)

If I do not get back here before I leave tomorrow, pleaese know that you are all in my prayers!!! And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for me and my family.

Please pray that my husband will have wisdom in dealign with my son's homeless friend Zach while I am gone. He is eating us out of house and home and hanging around way too much and not a good influence on our son. Thank you again!!

One hour to take off, but I did want to let you all know that we found a mechanic that did the a/c recharge on a sunday afternoon. It set us back another $200 which we do not have, vut I an trusting God that he has a plan of providing for the finances as he so amazingly provided everything else!!! Thank you fro your prayers. Do keep me and my daughter in your prayers, especially ove rthe next 5 days or so of driving. We need the miracle of fitting everything into the car and still being able to see and be safe to drive :) !!!! And then for healing and opur relationship as we travel together, that it will be a time of bonding and growth Spritually, emotionally and otherwise!! And don't forget the hubby ont he home front and all the issues i leave behind for him to deal with. My hubby is very depressed and has worked hard to get evrything ready for hte car and will be at home with my bp son who is taking his adderall and not his mood stabilizer-that is a recipe for diaster. Pray that my son and hubby will have a time of bonding as well and that my son will some to face his turning his back on the Lord. Let them have an opportunity to share with each other!!!


Tahnk you all again and ttfn, I will be back aroun the first of Sept. I will keep you all in my prayers and try to check in from Texas!!!

Blessings and Prayers,

ALive
