    Here's a Surprise: There's This Woman...

    No, really. This is one of those threads. My last relationship ended in August 2006. It was the third one I'd ever had, and the longest (six months). Since then, I either haven't been interested or been in a position to have any kind of a relationship. My problem (thank you bipolar) is I often...

    Rise up - go to church

    While I think it is important to keep our focus on Christ, I don't think it's wrong to want novelty in a church. The church I loved in Denver had a different minister every week, different music, different food. We had many of the same people, but it wasn't boring or routine.

    Don't join it or you'll ruin it.

    Bipolar Disorder

    I am prone to spending money impulsively, taking risks (such as wandering off into uncharted territory), and definitely hurting others. Sadly, I was a contributing factor to one young lady's suicide. We had someone like that when I was in the hospital, though he was a schizophrenic. He said the...

    [__ Prayer __] My Health

    Thank you all for your prayers. Danus , it can be very hard for me to be still and listen. You have given me many ideas to consider. Thank you.

    Hello

    Thank you, Blazin Bones. One of my favorite passages of Scripture is Ezekiel 37, the Valley of Dry Bones. I often advertise it as "the first zombie uprising in history" when I use zombies as a spiritual analogy. I look forward to interacting with you here on the forum as well.

    Joel Osteen, good or bad

    That clip seems to be unusually solid for Osteen, who--as it has been pointed out--has been very theologically weak in the past. My problem with Osteen has been that he teaches doctrines I disagree with, like prosperity gospel (also called the "health and wealth" gospel). He has often sacrificed...

    Hello

    Thank you very much. They are more accepted in certain parts of the country than in others, from what I have seen. There are many Christian goths here as well, but the average crowd will associate them with Marilyn Manson, who was blamed for "influencing" one of our worst acts of violence here...

    Bipolar Disorder

    It can be either. Hypomania ("mania light") or full-blown mania can involve a range of emotions, from euphoria to anger. When I am (hypo)manic, I am usually overly confident and therefore happy, but as soon as something does not go my way, I'm very irritable. Agitation feels like ants crawling...

    what is the meaning of your name?

    It would be difficult to imagine a person with a pink dog as their avatar being a bitter individual. As it happens, I do know a woman named "Angel" who is very much into pink.

    Bipolar Disorder

    I am not a mental health professional, so I cannot diagnose or treat any physical or mental ailment. However, I've started this thread for people who are curious about (or who have) bipolar disorder. I admit that I am hypomanic at the moment, which means I have a tendency to share too much. I...

    [__ Prayer __] My Health

    I am blessed in that my therapist is a Christian (a happy coincidence coordinated by the Almighty). I do not know about my doctor or psychiatrist, but they are more focused on symptoms, whereas my therapist wants to know my heart and thoughts. It is much easier to talk to a Christian about such...

    Rise up - go to church

    I may not know exactly what you mean, Kathi, but I identify with your statement. There are some churches I refuse to go to simply because they remind me too much of other churches I have...endured.

    "An Unquiet Mind" by Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison

    Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison is a clinical psychologist whose work focuses on bipolar disorder. She is in a unique position to speak about bipolar, because she suffers from it. My mentor highly recommended her book to me, as it is a memoir that also serves to provide information about the illness...

    Rise up - go to church

    There is a church in my area I am curious about, so I will probably go there Sunday evening. I'm not a morning person.

    [__ Prayer __] My Health

    I do have insurance, and a doctor, and a therapist, and a psychiatrist. I do not trust my current psychiatrist, but the paperwork involved in transferring to a new psychiatrist makes the process slow. I am currently on what is apparently the wrong dosage and/or medication. My appointment is in...

    Ambition, and temptations that come with it?

    The money is irrelevant if you are pursuing what God would have you do. My ambition is to be a successful businessman and author, so that I might be a philanthropist for worthy causes. I would say follow God. If He wants you to earn loads, fantastic! Then follow His lead on your stewardship. If...

    [__ Prayer __] My Health

    I have been diagnosed with bipolar 1 disorder and PTSD. I also have spina bifida (a birth defect) and executive function disorder (a learning disability).

    what is the meaning of your name?

    I thought about that when I discovered the "negative" meaning of my name. In a way, God did change my name. I often struggle with pride and issues with authority, so perhaps it was God's way of telling me to remain humble. I'd honestly rather be a fool (a court jester) than a king.

    [__ Prayer __] My Health

    I have struggled recently with side effects from my medication, as well as the inefficacy of my medication. It feels as though I'm forced to deal with an upset stomach for little or no benefit. Additionally, I have been suffering hallucinations and paranoia that I am only able to combat with...
