You might be right

I took Photography and later Commercial Art in School.

I do the same thing with music, that is to relieve or encourage a different mood.

My meds were changed... My sleeping pills or something just make me very droggy the next day. My physc. took me off Trazadone and on to Ambience... My pharmacist told me it should not be taken every night though, because for some, it is addictive...

As you can tell I didn't take it tonight

Forgiven,

It may be difficult to make friends in the real world... I sometimes have foot in mouth problems.

But I am learning with every mistake, not to do that again.

I don't know if my social problems stem from Bi-Polar or being an only child that spend alot of time by myself...

I know my Heavenly Father has a calling on my life, so I get out their and apologise when I goof up...

And ask Him through His Holy Spirit to give me the love He has for people.

I find I goof up less

Daz you know that you have a choice. You can chose to go downhill or you can chose to fight it and win through Christ.

I do know that it is not easy but nothing really worthwhile is easy.

This is your future we are talking about. It is worth the fight.

Do NOT just go off your medication. It is essential that this is carefully discussed with your psychiatrist first. You may need a change in meds but to simply stop is bad news!

I do not know why you are leaving your church but in your present emotional state I would urge you to give it time. See if you still feel the same after your meds have been adjusted and had time to kick in.

As for denouncing Jesus. He loves you. He has promised to never leave you. The only one who wants you to turn your back on Jesus is the devil. Do not hand him this victory.

Command this oppression and deception to leave your mind little sister- God always planned to bless you and draw you near.

Don't give Up!
It's taken a while to adjust my meds to have the proper effect...

I just had another adjustment...Ambience... but it doesn't keep me asleep like its suppose to...

We live in a microwave society... If it's not done quick we move onto something else...

Please, don't let this happen to you...

Much love,

Hey Ray..

the church thing is in the thread in private discussions..
to my friends in this forum..

as for medication..I have thrown it down the chute..so I gotta wait for next month's supplies..I guess,unless my parents stop bringing me there.
they hate the stigma..so do I.I hate the stares,the whisperings..


Hi Bro Larry;
thanks for the concern..
it seems the nearer I want to go,the further I get.
how is it that some christians find their walk to be EASY?


Beloved;
I appreciate the love and concern I gathered from your posts..
I understand what you said,but have you ever felt that nothings gona work anymore?and you just dont want to pollute your body with meds?
I dont know..everyday's just a blurred routine now..

OK I have now read that other thread. Churches are made up of people and sadly most people (even Christians) are selfish and focus on their own interests.

I am sure that must make God very sad indeed but it is a fact.

I just have to remind myself that as a Christian we are admitting that we are sinful. We are admitting that we can't do it on our own. We are admitting that without God we deserve nothing but His condemnation. Now if you get a bunch of folk like that together it becomes less of a surprise when they behave in a thoughtless manner.

Every Christian should wear a T Shirt saying Still Under Construction. God is not finished with me yet.

The church should be there to support and encourage people. Especially those who are having a tough time.

I do not know why your church is not doing that but if it was me I would phone the youth pastor (Rev) and ask to book an appointment. When you see him be honest. Tell him how you feel ignored, unaccepted and unloved. Then depending on his response we can chat about if you should stay or try another church.

You mention the stigma of taking your meds. There is no stigma in being ill. It is only in the minds of ignorant uninformed people. Sadly lots of folk do not understand bi polar disorder but it IS an illness and it DOES respond to treatment. Just sometimes needs a while to get the correct meds and the correct doseage.

My wife is ill. It is a physical illness but she is ill and has been since before last Christmas. She has been in hospital twice this year and on Friday is being seen by a Professor of Medicine in London because the local specialists don't know how to treat her. Should she feel embarrassed that she is ill? NO. Should she feel that there is a stigma attached to being ill? NO She has a physical illness. They know what is wrong but just not how to treat it (yet).

So in many ways she is in the same situation as you. Ill with a genuine illness but not yet on the correct meds.

On the forum we have got to know you and we all love you and want to see you living a full and happy life. That should show you that it is not you people are rejecting. They are rejecting a false impression of who you are. When they know you like we know you they will accept you as we accept you.

Above all God knows you, loves you and through Jesus acceptd you as His precious daughter
