• 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 enrolled to start a certain college program in a couple of months, but recently I have become bored with that idea, and will start a different program. I am so bored with life! I wish I could just fly to a different state everyweek that is the only way i wont be bored. For example, today I want to be a musician, a detective, and model. Will this struggle of discontentment and boredom ever end? Is this a symptom of Bipolar (which i have)? If it is a symptom what is it called?Because I am so tired and depressed yet have these feelings. I have come to some kind of conclusion at the end of today that maybe I am trying to fit into this world instead of God's world??? Help yikes.

The thing that comes to mind is borderline personality disorder but that comes with a whole slew of symptoms that you are not describing here. I'm not sure what you are going through except that to some degree I've experienced it myself a bit. It's hard to stay focused especially when you are depressed. I'm amazed that you are even finding the motivation to start things. Way to go.
I will pray for you. I hope you can find the time to come to peace with a decision before you make one so that you will be truly happy and purposeful with your future path. I know it's not easy bit God is faithful. All the best.

Are you diagnosed with bipolar disorder? If so, it sounds like possible manic symptoms (impulsive whims that constantly change). when you mention the boredom that reminds me of ADD/ADHD where some of the symptoms are similar to bipolar symptoms.
If you are diagnosed, are you on medication or in therapy?

What you are experiencing could easily be symptoms of mania. I have felt the same way as you also. It is a hard place to be. For me, it is more of I am so interested in so many things and I just cannot see me being tied down to one thing for the rest of my life. I want to be doing something different all the time.
