Depression & Bipolar Support

What can we do to make this better

Admin — Sun, 04 May 2008 02:07:05 GMT

Ok everyone. I have been checking the forum and needless to say I have been a little on the discouraged side. I am only one person but I need others like you to make this work. I have been busy. In January I located my Birth Mother and Lord Willing will be meeting her for the first time later this month. So I have been a little side tracted. But now its time to get back to my mission. I need your help to make this a better place to where people will want to come and vent or just need a place ...

Where is everyone

Admin — Tue, 26 Feb 2008 22:28:59 GMT

Dear fellow members,

Where have you all been. We have been at 13 for sometime but it seems to be that the forum people are not posting like we where in the past. I know that alot of us are busy but should I keep the forum open. I really want to keep it open and I want to see it grow and become something, but I need your help with refering people to the site and helping us out.

On another note I am an adopted child and just recently I have been emailing my birth mother. I have a half ...

Happy New Year

Admin — Mon, 31 Dec 2007 21:18:42 GMT

Wishing you all a happy New year. I have been thinking about what the number 8 means in the Bible it means new beginnings. Lets all think about that and try to find something new this year. I am not talking about new years resolutions. I am talking about something new that you have never done before. I know this is a challenge. My husband and I are going to be doing a Support Group for DBSA at the Local hospital in the area where we live.

God will remain Great in 08.

New Diagnoases

apeymay — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 07:17:20 GMT

I went to my counseling appoitment friday. We were talking about an incedent with my girls the other night. While we were talking, we talked about somethings that had happened to me as a kid, lots of verbal abuse and witnessed physcial abuse of my mom and so on. She suspect I may be suffering from Post Tramatic Stress Sydrome along with the depression and anxiety. I am not sure how I feel about this. I guess it make sense. My husband thinks it does, espeically since sometimes good things happen ...

Depression and Faith

Larry — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:21:30 GMT

A marvelous realization came to me today that resolves an internal struggle I have had for months.

I can be depressed and still have faith

because faith is a decision not a feeling.

This holds true for when I am mad at God as well.

I can even pray when depressed or mad at God

For me, this is a huge revelation, especially if it is true. Comments--if any--will be appreciated. Am I on track with this?

Love,

Larry

Merry Christmas

My marriage is in trouble!

John 3:16 — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 13:51:30 GMT

I am so at a loss as to what to do right now. We have been married 8 years and I knew when we got married that my husband had been diagnosed bi-polar and had a previous suicide attempt. He was unmedicated when we met though previously had been on prozac and lithium. Everything was great for 5 years, but now his moods change so fast and he is so angry and refuses to recognize the problem and drinks daily. I left him 2 months ago because his anger was so hurtful. My intention was to protect myself ...

Just wanted to say "hi" and that I appreciate this site. I was surfing looking for Bipolar support online, and this was the second site I hit.

I understand the "hell" that biploar brings, and just wanted a safe place to talk about it. On the outside, I am a regular guy, great job, nice house, all the toys...but suffer on the inside all the time.

Looking forward to what we can learn from each other, and trying to understand how my faith can be restored after being ...

A story of a life time.

God is Awesome

Admin — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 22:24:42 GMT

Ok people. I attended a ladies conference this past weekend. The Lord did aawesome thing in my life. The past is gone. As i was crying thursday night and reaching out to God, I began to see a man sitting in white and he looked so peaceful, I began to see that I could sit in his lap and I dont have to worry about being hurt again, I dont have to worry about the verbal and the physical abuse of my past. I can sit in his lap and he will protect me. But when the devil comes around and throws discouragement ...

Thinking.....

angelkiss — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 22:37:44 GMT

Lately, I've been in a mild episode and of course it lands me thinking about things more than usual. I don't know why, but I feel led to share it here and I hope that it helps someone who may need it.

When I think about how far I've come in life, I'm so thankful that I'm still here. This illness can be a major bummer, but I'm thankful that it's humbled me as much as it has. It's given me a lot more knowledge about mental illness and I can understand where a lot of people are coming from. ...

I'm depressed, and my faith is gone.

Larry — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 03:48:14 GMT

I have deleated this post because it was horrible, and I the same for writing it. I no longer deserve to be a part of this loving group specially or a member of the body of Christ in general. Goodbye.

Praises to God

Larry — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 06:39:43 GMT

I think it would be cool to have a thread to post praises to God.

I praise God because through Christ Jesus who strengthens me I have not cut myself in 22 days.

I know it is the Holy Spirit working in me both to will and to do for His good pleasure, but my therapist says I need to acknowledge my accomplishments and be proud of myself when I succeed at something. This way, my self-esteem will begin to rise. So here goes:

I am proud of myself for not cutting in 22 days.

I'm a Mess

Larry — Mon, 24 Sep 2007 04:59:37 GMT

I made a fool of myself again today at church. I have going for about 1 1/2 months, and I am afraid I already have the reputation of a freak. It seems that every time I go it becomes increasingly difficult. I was ushered out of service a few weeks ago to go to the prayer room because I was crying so strong. It was a good thing, but I showed myself to be so pathetic and needy.

Last week, I got a panic attack. The lobby is as big as most local churches and the sanctuary seats over 1,000. ...

Although quite old, I am new.

Larry — Mon, 17 Sep 2007 07:07:42 GMT

Hello. I am so thankful that God led me to this place. Christians with mood disorders have special challenges in our walk with the Lord. To find a ministry that addresses our unique needs is fantastic. Praise God.

I have been a Christian for just over one year. It is the most exciting, challenging, rewarding, and beautiful trips I have ever taken. Based on that last phrase, you now know that I was a 60's Flower Child--clean and sober now though. I had a major emotional breakdown ...
