1love1God1way -> Losing it? (4/1/2008 12:32:07 AM)

I've dealt with bipolar disorder for a number of years, but lately I have become really manic. I see things that aren't there and talk to myself sometimes. . . I feel like things are happening, but not real. I am there, and it's me, but I can't control all my thoughts and actions.

I just began seeing a professional counselor, but I'm still scared. . .



Caseyp57 -> RE: Losing it? (4/1/2008 1:28:40 AM)

(((Ben)))) It's really good you are seeing a counselor and hopefully he (or if not he some other professional) will put you on meds (or adjust your meds if you are already taking them) as it sounds like a chemical imbalance of some sort. Don't worry, God has you in the palm of his hand.

Lord please give Ben direction in how to best find help and healing. Bring him Christian friends to help him and help him to find his refuge in You. Comfort him and help him not to be scared. In Jesus name amen.

Thank you for your honesty. God WILL heal you!

Lord, I ask you to take the demons out of "1love1God1way's" head. Lord, the devil has no place in him. God, take him and mold him into the person you want him to be. Let him be free to speak your works in his life. Let his actions be pleasing to you and you alone.


In Jesus name I pray,


Amen.

If it's any comfort, you are certainly not alone in this. I have a family member who experiences the same thing.

Lord Jesus, please heal this person's mind. May the fruit of the Spirit be shown in their thinking and speaking in the self-control and discernment the Spirit gives. We ask in Your Name.

Amen.



LovenGrace -> God is With YOU, my Brother (4/3/2008 2:47:53 AM)

Hi Ben,
I'm Rose and I have been right where your at. Your not alone and there is always HOPE for YOU! Being afraid is normal and you can get through this!
Philippians 4:13 says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." I want to encourage you to memorize God's Word. Also start a personal journal and write letters to God. Also write everything that your feeling and share some of it whenever you see your counselor. I know that my journal helped me. The good thing is that your seeking help and thats a good thing. Even when you feel afraid, know that God is near by and He will never leave you nor forsake you. God has a purpose and a plan for all that you are going through at this time. God wants you to endure and draw close to God.
I know all to well how it is to see things that you know are not really there. I used to see a lot of scary stuff and it put fear in me. But you must pray, and pray believing that God can heal you from the delusions and from your depression. You have all of the right tools. Use them. Make sure that you communicate what your going through with your parents. Medication helps, but you still have to do your part. Hang in there. You will get through this. If I can you can. Please feel free to message me anytime. Sincerely in Christ,Rose[:)]



Biblefreak -> RE: God is With YOU, my Brother (4/3/2008 5:58:54 AM)

I'd also like to add that God doesn't give us the spirit of fear. Pray and He WILL take it from you.



1love1God1way -> Update: Losing it? (4/7/2008 11:57:42 PM)

Thank you all for your prayers. I just wanted to give you an update. . .

I had another "episode" where I basically feel like I can't control what I am doing, and I am completely disconnected from reality.

I was outside, and I found a nail on the ground, and started poking myself with it, but noticed I wasn't really feeling anything. So I kept poking harder.

I guess all I wanted to do was feel some pain, just so I could feel something.

I was about to stab myself with it when I finally caught myself and realized what I was doing, and threw it away. . .

It has been my fear that I might end up hurting myself, and it almost became true.

Please, keep me in your prayers.



1love1God1way -> Update: Losing it? (4/23/2008 11:42:19 PM)

First, a special thank you to those who have continued to support me in your prayers. It means the world to me. . .

An update:

Things continue downhill. My episodes are getting longer and harder. I'm having a lot of delusions too.

It's been a really scary experience, and some days, it's just hard to keep pushing on. I wish it would just end. (this is by no means a suicidal comment, don't take it that way).

Next week, I am going to see what can be done about getting medicated. I really think I need it at this point.

Thank you in advance for your prayers.

JordanW -> RE: Update: Losing it? (4/23/2008 11:53:01 PM)

Ben I pray right now that God helps you throughout all these problems and that this problem gets resolved. Amen.



Itlyn1kc -> RE: Update: Losing it? (4/24/2008 11:42:52 AM)

I am so sorry you are dealing with this, have they done any sort of MRI or brain scan...I just wonder if something is going on where you might need to talk to the dr about doing some
sort of scan or MRI...
I am praying for you, I know God is there with you and he will get you through this. Just
continue to lean on him and ask him for help..

Lord, I just ask for Ben to be healed by your touch please. Take this ailment away from
him and I ask for devine healing all through his body, please please Lord....

amen amen amen!

1love1God1way -> RE: Update: Losing it? (4/24/2008 11:46:36 AM)

i had some ct scans done in december because they thought there may have been some bleeding in the brain ( i was having migraines with scary vital signs). they didn't find anything. they wanted to do a spinal tap but didn't.

they gave me some shots and sent me on my way and i havent had migraines since then.



Itlyn1kc -> RE: Update: Losing it? (4/24/2008 12:03:33 PM)

well i would definitely either get a 2nd opinion or ask the dr to do it again. Are they
putting you on meds now for this. I just wouldn't let this go because its dealing with
the brain and that is serious. Something just doesn't sound right, but please maybe
ask them to do another scan or MRI...

I am praying for you!!
