Bipolar Disorder: ; Bipolar Disorder; Manage 4 life. By Leila from Michigan 1 comments. I was diagnosed with BiPolar Disorder in my twenties.[1] I am now in my early forties.[2] I am also a Christian and was at the time of my diagnosis.[3] It saddens me to hear people talk of cures and complete deliverance for BiPolar, especially church leadership and especially those who have never experienced it.[4] BiPolar is a living Hell.[5] I will always believe that God is able to deliver us completely.[6] But listening to so many, He doesn't seem to tend to.[7] I know in my case, He has not.[8] What He has given me is the ability to manage it so well that people who did not know me way back when would not believe me if I told them I have it.[9] My family members who have watched me go through it and now manage it have been strengthened in their faith and praise God for how he has blessed me.[10] However, I still ...

Bipolar Disorder: ; Bipolar Disorder; Cause Suicide is Painless. By Adam Celine 5 comments. I feel like a drug addict with no twelve step program.[1] No, I dont do drugs, but it feels like BiPolar is a drug by itself.[2] It's like having a little invisible pouch on the back of my neck that randomly injects a drug to make me manic.[3] It becomes so hard to control myself.[4] I have to pause and analyze everything I say before I say it, so I can filter and make it sound normal.[5] As the mania gets worse, I start to think anything is possible, and ideas...[6] oh the ideas, they race in packs through my head, and half of them dont make any sense at all.[7] These senseless racing thoughts, as far as I'm concerned, they're just another way to define insanity.[8] I want you to really understand how I feel, and then I'm going to ask for your help / advice / anything you have to offer.[9] So just bear with me ...

Psychology: ; Psychology; The Self-Improvement Disease. By Nicolas Bramble from New York There is no such thing as self improvement .[1] The fallacy of self-improvement comes from the fact that you must first believe there is something outside that needs to be improved upon.[2] When people believe they are flawed, the tendency is to start searching, searching, and searching some more to find a solution, an answer Looking for meaning, solutions, and happiness out there .[3] Here s the point, nothing outside can solve your problems.[4] If this were true, if there was a magical outside fix to life- there d be no sad, high-strung, depressed people in the world.[5] There would be no depressed and unhappy rich folks check out the tabloids Great news is that you already have the resources inside to be happy, wealthy, and successful.[6] This idea is so foreign to many and to conventional ...
