    • Prayer

      From Love4you September 7

      If your burdens are too heavy to bear, release them on the wings of a prayer. Put your faith in the Father above, and let Him soothe you with His love. If you go to Him with an open heart, your worries and cares will swiftly depart. Though all of your troubles won't be solved, He'll give you strength until the problem's resolved. As long as He knows that you're trying your best, He'll lend you a hand to take care of the rest~ Love,Maria

      From ickysticky August 31

      i am sorry that you are feeling so distressed. I just reread your journal entry about Chief and how good he makes you feel. Is that something that you can focus on? I cannot even begin to know any of what you are going thru or the dread & I wish there was something comforting that I could say to you but other than hold on tight to your self and hug Chief as much as possible. And with some humor because we could all use some humor in dark times, I say 'off with their heads' to the demons that keep haunting us. Hugs. Check in every so often so that we know you are there. :-)

    • Close Bipolar Disorder

      I'm a 22 year old who was diagnosed with BP last spring, went on meds for 2 months and then stopped. Now, over a year later, I am experiencing harsh symptoms of depression and even a bit of cycling. I am searching for information on BP because I am going to go on meds for good right quick.

      Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Somewhat Helpful
      I have been seeing my psychologist for close to 7 years and only recentlylast year did he become suspicious that I was BiPolar after I came into his office after a 2 year hiatus and was clearly very manic. He was very concerned and set up an appointment with a psychiatrist and now a year later after weekly meeting with the psychologist I am ready to go on medication. He helped but ultimately the mood swings convinced me.
      Ativan Working / Worked
      Out of the absolute blue I started getting severe panicanxiety attacks. Im talking full out hotcold flashes eye sight blacking out heart pumping so hard I thought it would jump out of my chest waves of tingling sensations going through my body complete breathlessness tightness in my throat and ALL at once. So my psychiatrist told me that some people with BP experience this anxiety at the onset or a symptom of depression. So I take Ativan to help calm my mind when I feel very panicked
