how did you come to terms with having bipolar disorder, if not, what's stopping you?

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.

I came to terms with mine shortly after I was told I had it. Once I got on my lithium, After a few weeks I was doing much better and had a clearer head to think things thru. I realized what a mess I had in my lap and need to fix it. I had been married for several years at that point and my wife at the time did not trust me in case I had a relapse.
We divorced shortly after that. She (my ex) still has not dealt with the fact that I have BP. She thinks it is all a make believe thing.

I am not sure I will ever completely come to "terms" with bp. I have it, I am active in dealing with it, medically and otherwise; active in identifying my triggers and trying to do all I can, but I do get so tired of it. It breaks my heart everytime I realize it will never go away. At the same time as I hate it and definitely some of it's symptoms, I can see many "silver linings" that God has created in my life thru this experience. I would like to go back to "being me" (I was 35 when it all hit.) and yet, I know who I am now. Do I sound confused, sometimes it feels like it. But bottom line is I KNOW that I can trust God with anything, even my BP.

In some ways I think God has used my bp to heal other things in my life that were out of whack. Don't get me wrong I am ready and willing to be healed, but I am also ready and willing to TRUST GOD to walk me thru whatever path I am on.
