Is bipolar really as scary as it sounds.?!


Question:

Is bipolar really as scary as it sounds.?

I was diagnosed with it and i really truly thought that i was just having bad days. Doesn't everyone have feelings of ending there life or at least ramming their car into an oncoming semi? I mean ever. Sometimes i wish that I could be put in a drug induced coma for like a month or something. Does anyone "normal" have these feelings like 2-3 times a week?


Answers:

"Been there and done that!" I was diagnosed years ago as having Bi-Polar disorder, Major Depressive disorder, Personality disorder and Post Traumatic Stress disorder! I took medication for many years. Prozac was one of the worst! I've taken Pamelor, Elevil, Lithium and many more so I truly do know from experience the effectiveness of such drugs. And not all drugs have the same effect on all people; Prozac seems to actually have helped some folks I've known!
If someone feels they are "out of control", then by all means consider professional help! But I would also like to encourage you to seek out a "Christian" counselor or psychiatrist! Yes they do exist! My struggle or "need" for the drugs is gone now completely! But it is because I have grown in faith and prayer to the point I now know exactly where to go for help! Fanatic; "YES" ; when it comes to seeking God's help or sharing it, I am indeed a fanatic! Do I still have the "ups and downs" again yes! But they aren't life threatening! And yes I have actually attempted suicide many years ago! God has protected me from myself a few times!
I am now in the midst of continuing to take classes in Christian counseling so God can use me to be more useful in Blessing people as I ever was in being harmful to them as I once was! I thank God daily for HIs love and massive mercy. I pray this site doesn't consider this spam! I have indeed taken "Pastoral Counseling" classes at Liberty University's Bible Institute, but even more useful and effective are the lessons and experience God has shared and allowed me to experience. I am almost 50 so I've had a couple of "Been there and done that" experiences! May this Bless you! In Jesus Name I ask!
