I know there's been some talk about Lithium here, but is anyone else on it? I find it odd that it's something that builds up to a certain dosage in your bloodstream, but yet I notice the days when I miss my dose. I feel the agitation and other symptoms of bipolar. Even my brain physically feels...

I was sick over the weekend with a dehydration headache, and upset stomach. I'm feeling better, but I came back to a lot to pray for: 1. My sister and brother-in-law are on their honeymoon in Germany, and having trouble getting back to the States. I'm not sure what all is going on, but they're...

What did you learn today? Today, I learned I do not control my emotions as well as I previously thought.

Over a month ago, I had blood drawn for my Lithium levels. The doctor said my TSH levels were high. Today, I found out that means I have an underactive thyroid. The part of my brain (the anterior pituitary) is pumping out four times the usual amount of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) to...

A friend and I are going to be having a conversation about some things. I don't want to go into specifics, but I think we both need wisdom in approaching our situation we're in. Wisdom, guidance...the Lord knows, but your prayers would be great.

What are you afraid of? I fear spiders, maggots, caterpillars, centipedes, millipedes, leeches, slugs, wasps, bees, scorpions, darkness, clowns, sharks, vast bodies of water, heights, lack of self-control, panic attacks, elevators, stairs, bridges and overpasses, high speed, and anyone with a...

I grew up on Steven Curtis Chapman, Oldies, and the Baptist Hymnal. It wasn't until I reached my teens that I found bands like DC Talk or Jars of Clay, and it wasn't until my twenties that I discovered bands like Skillet. I discovered bands like Theocracy in my late twenties. My introduction to...

I have been considering changing my diet to improve my stomach health. I've been eating less and less junk food lately, because my stomach simply won't accept it. I feel better about that. However, I still get sick, and I'm wondering if it is because of the food I eat. There's a part of me that...

If you could do anything in the world at all, what would you do for a career? I would love to be a full-time author who is able to travel the world.

As an aspiring author working on my debut manuscript, I have been surprised by a trend I have noticed within the Church. This may not be the appropriate section of this forum to post this; I apologize if that is the case, but it seems appropriate, as it has to do with what people--specifically...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this kind of a question, but I'm curious: do you believe that all couples who can have children should try, or is it okay to be married and not have any children? My personal stance is the latter; I do not want any children, and even if I did, I would...

This is a "game" I've seen on other forums. The way it works is I post a question and answer it. The person who posts next answers the question I asked, asks a question of their own, and answers that question. Someone else will come along and answer that question, and ask their own question and...

This is what I looked like in 2009, crutches and all. That lovely lady next to me is my sister. My auburn hair is now almost as long as my jester cap's tendrils; I had just begun to grow it out there, and was nearly bald.

Psalm 139 is well known within the Church. In it, King David writes that God has searched us and known us, since before we were born. The eighth verse, however, recently struck me as particularly reassuring: In short, this verse tells us that if we go into the skies, God is there. What is very...

I was talking with a friend about what we aspire to have in our lives, and the idea of a dream home came to me. This is something I have thought quite a bit about, because I am serious about attaining it in my life. I'm curious, what would your dream home be like? I would like to have a...

I didn't see a thread like this, so I thought I'd ask: what kind of music are you into? Normally I'd say "all kinds," but seeing as how that would be sort of defeating the purpose of the thread, I'll expound. I enjoy rock, generally, from Van Halen to Five Finger Death Punch to Skillet. I like...

Who here is a writer? What do you write? Do you write solely for yourself, or do you have aspirations to be published? Are you already published? I love writing. It is my catharsis and my reason for living at times, whether that is good or bad. I can communicate with God much more easily...

I have many heroes, but most of them do not exist. I find my role models in literature and film, and occasionally in songs. Of course, any Christian "is required" to list Jesus as a hero, given His death on the cross for us. Aside from Him, who would you say is/are your heroes (real or...

I modified this image until I liked it. I have a sordid love affair with the Crusades, like two lovers in a tiff who can't get enough of one another. For that reason, my visual work often revolves around knights (both from the Crusades and not). A Reminder to the Accuser Vanquished, you think...

No, really. This is one of those threads. My last relationship ended in August 2006. It was the third one I'd ever had, and the longest (six months). Since then, I either haven't been interested or been in a position to have any kind of a relationship. My problem (thank you bipolar) is I often...
