My comfort food ???
I have so many.
My main way of coping and dealing with things is cooking.
I tend to be quite creative in the kitchen.

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.

wayfaringstranger said:Well, I usually don't talk about it but I'm bi-polar. I've been getting treatment for it for thirty years now. I've had everything from shock treatments to therapy. I'm doing pretty well with a combination of medication and therapy. It works pretty well most of the time and I'm able to hide it pretty well. I don't talk about it because most people don't understand. They would just kinda look down on me or just feel sorry for me. I don't want that. Being bi-polar doesn't make me any less human than any one else. I meet plenty of people in worse shape than me and don't even know it. I've kinda just learned to deal with it in my own way
Thank you and God bless you too. Some of the things that help me on a down day are doing aerobics or kick-boxing or even just dancing. Anything that exerts physical energygoldenviolet said:God bless you! i'm glad you shared with us ...
it is hard to share when you are critizised, misunderstood and drama is added to the conversation.
we try to avoid that with eachother. will you share the things you do to help yourself on tough days?

Does anyone else just feel the words of the song Jesus take the Wheel, just speaking to them about how easy it is to forget who is driving in their life? I find it a great reminder!!!
Artist/Band: Underwood Carrie
Lyrics for Song: Jesus, Take The Wheel
Lyrics for Album: Some Hearts
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It been a long hard year
She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way to fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this all my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Oh, Jesus take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, oh
I've heard it on Kluv and our local Christian station for the past 2 weeks!! I have asked a soloist at our church to sing it as well!!!!Shalia said:I LOVE that song. My music pastor asked me to solo, and as soon as I can find that song in a minus one track, that's the one I want to do. It's just so beautiful. OK, so it's *techically* a country song, not a Christian song, but... anything with those lyrics should be OK in a charismatic church, right?
I just cried and cried the first time I heard that song in the car. It's so powerful and beautiful. I had no intentions of buying her CD <I'm *still* a Clay Aiken fan...> but after hearing that one, I want it. I also wonder why that song isn't on the Christian stations. It should be. It's a perfect Christian station song.
