Thanks. We want to be able to help people that have bipolar and their families and show the Love of God doing it.

Thank you so much for hosting this forum. I have suffered with clinical depresion for many years and have been off and on anti-depresants as well. My pastor tries to understand, however his good intentions caused me many years of retreat and isolation. I am now seeing a "Christian" counsler, but getting the heip I need and found a medication that is working well for me. I think when our pastors can't "fix" it and we are not healed immediatley, then there is something wromg with us. That we are not letting go or something. I'm not sure, but when it requires more time and energy than he can offer, then he is ok with referring out to counselling. I am steadfast in the Truth enough to know when to through out a therory. It is good to see now I have a place to go and share with Brothers and Sisters in the faith my st ruggle and KNOW they understand and there is NO judgement passed. Depression is a hard and lonely battle to fight and at times, I feel I want to go to sleep and not wake up. But God in His mericy, wakes me up, and gives me strengh to face antoher day.
Thanks again
April
