I need your support

[guitargal]

I am 43 and was diagnosed as bipolar. I have suffered from chronic depression for at least 20 years. I have been hospitalized and I am still undergoing therapy. I have been reading a lot about the disease as well as attending group therapy. I was released from group therapy, for the second time, yesterday. This has been great in that I was able to listen and talk to people who were in the same boat that I am in. I'm somewhat in a panic this morning in that I don't have the group to go to today. I have come a long way but know that I have an even longer road ahead of me. I welcome any advice, conversation and especially prayers. I have so my unsolved issues that are essential to be resolved for me to continue my recovery; however, I'm not really sure which issues do need to be resolved and which ones do not. I am trying to put myself first, but I am having a lot of difficulty with this because I have been extremely co-dependent and have difficulty of not thinking about others. As well, I don't want to set myself up for further hurt, because I think I have been hurt as deeply as I can stand. Please help me and pray for me.

Welcome fellow surviver I'm 45 and am diagnosed with schizo-effective disorder. I've been mainly depressed for the last ten years and have had four major psychosis during these times as well. I'm only just beginning to find some sanity back out of the insane reality I've been in most of my life. So I can understand a little where you are coming from.

There are plenty of people here who are willing to pray for you, I myself included. Especially that you will leave the shame and guilt behind soon, as it is very difficult to live with that.

God bless you.

Hope you find plenty of friends here at CF.

Hey, You could be telling my life story, in terms of your illness. My posts get rather lengthy if I go into muich detail suffice it to say,I am BP2 after 10 years of a diagnosis of depression. Recently found a mood stabilizer that works for me, but having an allergic rxn to it I think-itching. However it is unique in how it works so we don't know what else to do. Spent my whole life taking care of everyone but myself and never felt like I did a good enough job at it, so where does that leave you. I will be praying for you. You have come to a wonderful place for acceptance, encouragement, AND SUPPORT. Also check for local support groups where you can talk to people locally and develop relationships there. My prayers are with you!!!

I was just like being Stricken by lightning when I was diagnosed with Bipolar Something that's so frightening me for the rest of my life. I understand now that I am not alone. I failed in my study some time ago, but I bounce back. I need The Prayer for Bipolar. I feel so lonely and guilty so much. I dunno why. Please support me through prayer I take Tegretol and Abilify sometimes. Thank for reading my story.
