News of Hope

I am 28 years old and have bipolar disorder and a slight touch of obsessive compulsive disorder. I have been married for 1 1/2 years. During the course of our relationship (we've known each other for 8 years) I have hurt her many times by cheating on her, doing drugs, and threatening to kill myself because sometimes my depression is so severe. Within the past few days, for whatever reason, I have been able to ...

Hi all,
I'm having alot of trouble with motivation lately. I know there are things that I enjoy doing but I can't seem to get myself to do them. I feel uninterested, which is almost a contradiction because I feel interested in doing things, but just can't find that motivation to do them. I've been spending most of my days sitting around doing nothing because I can't seem to get myself going. I try to ...

Hi everyone.
I'm new to the site and am hoping to find some solace here for myself, and perhaps be able to bring some light to other people. I've been struggling with Mental Illness for 12yrs and am finally getting closer to that light at the end of the tunnel. I've been diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and am recovering from 10yrs of being a self-harmer. The good times are becoming longer and more frequent ...

My guardian angel is leaving me, and my world has crashed all around me.

I know I shouldn't have given her so much of me, and that you should only ever give a part of yourself to someone when you are able enough to support the rest of yourself without help. Please, don't tell me how I shouldn't have grown so bloody attached to her because now it's too late to try and slowly reverse ...

I don’t feel safe anymore. Reality is, in my mind at least, losing its solidity. Everything around me feels like a thin illusion; sometimes I think when I look at a wall that nothing at all is on the other side. It’s like a fragile paper box that could rip open at any second to reveal this horrible screeching black void that I will fall into and be lost floating alone forever. I can feel ...

Hi there, I made an account just so I could write this. I was diagnosed last year with bipolar II, and I can't remember a time when I didn't have to struggle. I'm lucky to have started treatment as young as 24, and I'm doing really well, but tonight is hard and I wanted someone to hear that. Tonight, I wish I didn't have this particular mind. It's difficult to come to terms with how ...

Hi everyone, I'm new :)

And before anyone thinks I'm big headed with my user name... it's not something I am, just something I aspire to be :) (using wealthy in a non-monetry sense)

Anyway, the main reason I signed up was to ask if anyone has been on a Belief Global course I've seen mentioned around here and ...

Hi, didn't know at which forum to open this topic... I kinda like the name of this one. So If i am wrong, sorry.

Don’t know why I am writing this. But I guess I just need to…
Anyway, I have problems. I know, everyone has a lot of problems without exception. But lately, mine have become something that I cannot handle by myself anymore. I just feel them pressuring me and I am too ...

Struggling with depression and anxiety, have been down the path of therapy and medication with very little change.

What else have people tried to ease their mental suffering, and did you find it helpful? I want to try alternative remedies, but I don't want false hope.

By alternative, I mean things other than therapy/counselling, medication, ECT, reading self-help books,

Have people tried:
Supplements, vitamins, herbs etc
Reiki and other energy healing, kinesiology
Meditation
Turning to ...

Hi all,


When I was in my freshman year in high school (I'm a senior now), I noticed something that led me down a path of 'relevance', so to speak. I noticed that whenever I would obsess over one particular thought or conversation in my head, and hold a mental image of it or run the words through my head, anywhere from almost instantly to several days later, it would happen. At first, I dismissed ...
