Third party does not need to be your parents. He should have a nurse. What does he do with adult female patients get them to bring their parents?

No psychologist or psychiatrist who is doing their job correctly should be surprised when a teenager needs to chat without their parents in the room.

Write back and tell him everything. Then at least he will have the info before he sees you.

While on my meds, (6 to 7 years) this has been the worse week concerning Bi-polar, depression.

Everyday this week, it got worse and I was barely able to function doing the simpliest thing.

I stood on Gods word, listen to Christian worship songs, and sermons, teachings ect.

By this afternoon I was better... It had made me realize how awful everyday would be if I had never been diagnosed, or if their were no medications.

My hope is in my beautiful Heavenly Dad, and my Saviour, and the Holy Spirit.

Even while praying today with a friend I felt a great passionate love for me by the Father, and Christ...

My friend I went through 5 years of crippling depression before that. I never left my house... So I understand...

Yesterday, at counceling he said not to get annoyed with myself during these times because what I have is a chemical imbalance...

I did not do this to my self. In my case it is genetic...

So as God is patient with us we need to be patient with ourselves.

Hey beloved,
we seem to have the same illness,but mine aint genetic.

hmmm have you ever had medications that are counter productive?
or overdosed? =X

Beloved · 09-02-2008, 11:18 PM

No, I have never overdosed...

I have underdosed while trying to see if I could get off of them...

I've had problems with meds like losing hair and intestinal problems I could not live with, so my phyc tried other meds.

However, the sight effects I experienced doesnt seem to be common with everyone...

You are so young. No one wants to be depented on medication...

Have faith that the Lord will arrange circumstances in your life for your enrichment...

Romans 8:28
And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

Everyone has a burden to bare in life, this happens to be ours...

Matthew 11:28
Then Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
Galatians 6:2
Share each other’s burdens, and in this way obey the law of Christ.

I hope this will be a place to share for the enrichment of all of us...

-shrugs- I have both over and under dosed.

I am young,but my future seems hopless.
why does the deepest hurt have to come from within the family?
do people derive joy from others' fall?

You are young and that's why your future isn't hopeless.

You may not see it now but everyone is dealt some burden that will draw them against or towards the Lord.

No one knows if a new med. for Bi-polar will be discovered, and either cure us or stabilize us better than what out their today.

A study on new medical discoveries since you were born would blow your mind.

The chose is up to you to surrender your burden to Christ or remain hopeless.

There is always hope in Christ.

God bless you little one

Romans 8:1 " therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus"
