    Ever wonder...

    Yes, Blondie, my condition is well-managed with meds. According to what I've read, the only requirement for a diagnosis of Bipolar I or II is a single episode of hypomania or mania, or a single episode of depression, and then an episode of mania or depression. In other words, one clearly...

    sad and tired and numb

    Very happy to hear you're feeling better. You sound so much better today than you did in your first post, a lot more optimistic -- I believe you're on your way! Keep praying and keep reading your Scripture, it will do wonders. God bless you!

    Ever wonder...

    I haven't been hypomanic in so many years, I've forgotten how to have fun. I spend most of my life in a mildly depressed state. The last time I was hypomanic (I had no insurance, therefore no medication), I married someone I barely knew. That was a huge mistake, and we split after less than a...

    Doing well.

    Happy to hear that you are improvement. Sometimes a confrontation is all that can do it. And then you can sleep with a clear head.

    Whats the point?

    Sink, I understand how you feel. I really do. But keep in mind that we are not to be led by our feelings, we are to be led by the Holy Spirit. Our purpose is to serve God. We all drift from that purpose and that adds to our depression, giving us this "What's the point?" feeling. The point is to...

    so lost right now

    I believe it helps to write. I'm a writer just like you are, and I find it therapeutic. Something that I find helpful is to write out all the stuff that's making me crazy, then make a prioritized list of things. In a situation like this, I would start with things that are causing the most...

    Dealing with this and husband.

    I think that there are ways to get around your fear of the Bible. Can you get someone to write verses on index cards, and you can carry them around with you to read, like affirmations? This is like baby steps, but we have to start somewhere.

    Dealing with this and husband.

    Now don't go listening to those atheists. They are just party-poopers. Why is it that, when you put a Christian in a roomful of heathens, the Christian comes out doubting? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Even if you don't share the Gospel and you are just being a witness, there should be...

    Sounds like it. Are we being sacrilegious? I hope not, but it sounds like you were a very entertaining mental patient. I want a dellusion! I want one, too!

    Meds for anxiety.

    Hi again, I am on the same dose of Xanax that you are on .5 mg/4x daily as needed. I normally take 1/2 a tablet and that chills me out and keeps the anxiety and nervousness at bay. But lately, since I've been trapped in the wheelchair, and in the house, I've been having full-blown anxiety...

    Dealing with this and husband.

    Hi, I'm so sorry that you're going through this. I can understand the conflicting messages you are receiving. I know it's frightening and depressing and you don't know what's up or down. First of all, fight for your faith. Christ is the lover of your soul, and he feels your pain. Second...
