Hi
I'm new. But I'm desperate. http://www3.christianforums.com/images/smilies/help.gif I've had bipolar for some time and after being level for most of several months, i spike manic the other night and now I've crashed hard. I'm new to my area, and don't have a therapist or meds or anything. Please pray for peace and joy, and pray God will bring me to a new therapist perfect for me. Thanks all. I'm looking forward to being a part of this group!

Welcome, Let me give you a first.


Jesus, son of God, I come to you in Prayer. I pray that you be with this sister in Christ that you lift her up. That you bring her a peace that surpasses all understanding. Let her find a doctor that works well with her. I thank you Jesus for all that you have done and all that you are going to do.
Amen

Hey there! I can't express how much I feel for you, both my father and step mother suffer from various degrees of depression. My step mum Sue crashed recently after having to leave her job. I spent last weekend at Dad's house with her just keeping her company and giving plenty of hugs when she was feeling low(er). One thing that happened really changed her, and I think it might help you too. We went shopping. Just down to the local super market,which I understand can be quite a task after you've 'crashed' but managing to do even a little thing like that gave her confidence a massive boost. So, here's a little advice you might want to consider until you're feeling yourself again (which you will!)

+ Find some friends nearby and try to spend time with them (part of what made Sue unhappy was her loneliness while Dad was at work)

+Exercise, while it may seem really difficult while you're low is proven to have a positive effect on your mood (endomorphines and all that jazz), even a quick jog or walk in the park (with friends maybe? ; ) ) could make a difference

I can't think of anything else right now, but keep trying to find a councillor in the area who can give you proper advice and help.

Just remember, no matter how tough it feels you will get better! : D

Hi there and welcome.

Gosh that is the worst crashing when you don't have a doctor or a therapist in place.

I am praying that you will find the right ones to help you thorough this. Do not hesitate to ask for help if you need someone to help you find these individuals. I know that I can't always look for new doc's or therapists when I'm crashed I need help doing so. Do you belong to a church...maybe someone there can give you a referral to someone they know? Just a thought.

Welcome again.

If you are bipolar, then you must find meds, now. There are many clinics that you can go to that offer free medication if you don't have insurance available. Without medication, being bipolar is extremely difficult to deal with. I will keep you in my prayers, but finding medication should be one of your biggest priorities.

Welcome to the group. There are a lot of good people here who will be able to relate and give you good advice. Like some of the others advised you, I too recommend getting on meds asap. I know it sucks being on meds long term but it is amazing how much they help. I still have highs and lows but not to the extremes like I was having before meds. Just remember bp is a chemical imbalance and without meds that imbalance is not being address.

If you are having finicial trouble and feel you cannot afford meds or therapy there are places you can check for resources. Like your county health department or even catholic outreaches. These places usually have a list of places that can help you with state funded programs, to get the help you need. Another place to check is the behavioral medicene ward of your local hospital.
