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.

A true original.
Hmm just life in general right now, when I'm at my lowest. It seems like so many things are going wrong. I've given up hoping that I'll ever recover from my ED, or that my bipolar will go away, or that I will ever not need a treatment team and a bunch of different medications to remain stable.
And - this is a big one - I've also begun to doubt what God has told me in regards to a career - that I am meant to be a counselor for those with problems similar to mine. I'm having such a hard time with maintaining recovery and college at the same time, because if I can't fix myself, then how am I supposed to be able to help fix other people??

don't give up, April. You have to keep hoping. And if God has told you that you're meant to be a counselor, then set your sights on that.

Remember, things happen in Gods time...not in ours...
The fact that you can even talk about how you feel, is great....because others who hear about what you're feeling, my then know that they are not alone, that others are suffering too....in this funny kind of way, you are helping others....even if you don't feel you are, and it's helping you too...believe it or not...Just never doubt Jesus.....Love and hugs, Annie

You don't have to be perfect to be able to help others. I think the most important thing is that you have a deeper understanding of the difficulty that people with mental illness may have. For me it was always important that my therapist understands me. My last Psych was actually deaf he had an implant so he could hear me I can't tell you the impact that he had on me and how he helped me just by that. He had gone through medical school while becoming deaf and he still made it and ended up doing what he wanted. He thaught me that with hard work you can do it.

My biggest test of faith time and again is this voice who claims to be Satan and sprouts out evil like the devil himself.
Each time this voice visits I fall for it again and think that Satan is having another go at me.
Now I KNOW that it is NOT the devil but a symptom of my mental condition but the voice seems real and the evil that I hear is real as well.
