Just Depression or BP Also?

[PrairieGurl]

As of June 22 pm, pdoc diagnosed bp2. I have mostly experienced depression in the last year and 1/2, with only mild mania due to alcohol/perscription drug abuse.
Do I now just post in bp or this area? Does it matter?
One last question....
Is it selfish to pray that this new med pdoc has put me on will lift me into "stable mode"? If not, would you pls pray for me. I SO miss my life. Not like living in the past....but the joy and things I used to do to help and support others.

Hi there,

It's okay to post anywhere you'd like to. I pray that the pdoc have discernment in treating wantToBe and stabilize her. I pray you lift wantToBe's spirits and thank you for her Lord. In Jesus name I pray. Amen

Dearest Tapero,
My very 1st "forum prayer" You have warmed my heart, placed a smile on my face and made me realize how wonderful (and I do mean full of wonder!) Gods Family really is!
I know I must get out in "the real world" with my church family, but until I reach that step....I am so grateful for this site and those the Lord leads to place "Messages"

WTB: thanks for posting and sharing!! Don't get caught up in the diagnostic labels...there are no clear boundaries and there is a spectrum that is ascribed to the categories anyway.

The point is that you need to be able to share your progress here so that it will help you define yourself and help others as well. Continue your relationship with your pdoc and let the new medicine work to reduce your suffering. The medicine is help because it is INSULATING you from feelings that have been to your detriment, that is all. YOU have the control with your partner, the physician, and YOU have taken action to a more fulfilling life!! Bless you and stay the course!
