Admin	A prayer request for my spiritual and mental battle. Posted : 14 Apr, 2010 03:23 AM Hi. My name is Teri. I am diagnosed as being bipolar/major depression recurrent. That's a fancy term for I am given to mood swings with an emphasis on the depressed side rather than the manic. I have hit a rough patch and request prayer that I can battle my way back to "base" (neither high/manic or low/depressed). Making matters worse is when I sink into the abyss of depression instead of reaching up to God to pull me out I instead forget that He is the one who can help me out of the hole I dig to hide in. Satan loves it when I get down in that hole and don't listen to God. What a jerk, that :devil: and how he can trick me into thinking "Just a little more sleep, just one day of not doing bible study, just one week of not going to church." I got lucky this time and didn't end up in the hospital. However I have not been to work in over a week and I am now NOT sleeping instead of sleeping all the time. It usually takes a few days of this until I can get back to an even keel of sleep at night and up during the days (in other words I get turned upside down in my sleeping pattern.) So what I'm asking is prayer that I get back at base and back to work and back with God the ultimate healer. Thank you SO much for reading this. God bless. Post Reply

I don't know who you are but I am glad you are still holding on to God's promises. Yes, he is a healer and a deliverer, he is not a man that he should lie. Keep your faith in God and in his word, no matter what. I understand your situation, I have been through something very similiar. Not going to sleep at night, not wanting to get up for work because my sleep pattern was off, not wanting to eat sometimes and then other times excessively eating. Know that God cares for you and loves you. He said he will never leave you nor forsake you. I will pray for you. You will get through this, just don't give up! The enemy wants you to give up because you have a special purpose on earth from God. So, force yourself to go to church and bible study so you can get the word to fight the enemy and trust that when you get there God will have a word for you that will strengthen you. Surround yourself with people of God who are filled with his Holy Spirit and are joyful that will encourage you in the Lord. The joy of the Lord is your strength! Cry out unto the Lord, fast, and force yourself to pray he will hear your faintest cry and will answer. He already has. Just walk into your deliverance. You are loved by God. Post Reply

It is an ongoing battle and I try to let it go and let God handle it. When I'm in the trenches it's hard to remember that He is still holding me in his right hand. He loves me/us sooooo much....even when we frustrate Him. Can you imagine such an awesome God??? :yay: Please continue to pray and I love you all for your kind thoughts. Post Reply

I went through depression for 8 years and God has brought me through with prayers from my family. When I got older, I prayed alot and I know God answers prayers because now Im happy and respect people feelings. I will pray for you Terri that you will make it through. God bless and be hungry for God's Word. God bless :prayingm: :prayingf: Post Reply
View Profile History	A prayer request for my spiritual and mental battle. Posted : 29 Apr, 2010 03:21 PM I want to thank everybody who has prayed for me. Your prayers and God have blessed me with a therapist (also a believer) who is helping me learn some coping skills. Praise God she says I am just a normal person with bipolar disorder I am not bipolar. In other words bipolar personality doesn't define me. She taught me that my symptoms can and will be managed just as a person manages something like diabetes. I will NOT die from this. Praise the Lord. And bless you all for helping it happen by being my prayer warriors. I have another request. When two Christian's come together to work on a problem it ticks Satan off. Right now he is making it very hard for me to focus and start learning these new skills. I can and WILL overcome him but as the good book says where two or more are gathered in his name [in prayer] He is with them. Bless you and please continue praying. In His love, Teri Post Reply

Without going into a lot of details I am down again. I'm down in a way I haven't been before. I'm not suicidal but due to some things that have happened in my life I'm may hurt some others spiritually if I don't get up an going and I am not honest with them and myself and yes, with God. In fact I must sit down with God right now and have a long chat. Thank you for all who care and all who have prayed up to now. Teri Post Reply
View Profile History	A prayer request for my spiritual and mental battle. Posted : 3 Jul, 2010 12:10 PM Thank you so much for all your prayers. One of the symptoms, wanting to sleep all the time, has, in part, lost me a man I thought my be my soul mate. It wasn't the only problem with the relationship but it was a major contributing factor. People don't understand this disease. I don't even understand it sometimes. I so want to get out and do things but sometimes I just can't even get out of the house. Wow this is really making me sound soooooo attractive isn't it? One thing I have learned from a very good counselor (also a believer) is that while I have an illness it does not define me. Just as a diabetic has special needs so do I. It does not make me evil or a total lunatic. It is just a hurdle that I sometimes need help getting over. As for the bombed relationship I go to James chapter one. I learned that...well I learned that I learned something! I learned that I am high maintenance but I also learned that so was this man. When I finally came out and told him that yes, I had problems but so did he, he ran. He ran after telling me that no he did not and leaving...coming back...telling me some more that he didn't have problems...leaving...it was not pretty. HOWEVER I will not give up. There is someone out there for me. I am here for someone too. I could just use some prayer right now that I find someone, somewhere...someday... Thanks and God bless. Teri Post Reply
View Profile History	A prayer request for my spiritual and mental battle. Posted : 21 Sep, 2010 09:28 AM Thanks for praying for me. Things are better again. I have gotten out and about in the last two weeks. My special someone would call and bang on my door and even had a key to get in. Unfortunately we had a falling out and I asked for my key back. I will always love him as a special friend in Christ. He and I went to the Methodist church here in town and I hadn't felt so welcome in a church in years! I help with the coffee ministry at my current church but have stepped down from that and have told them I will just be on the sub list for now. Changing from my home church will be hard but I've never been an official member there. My kids were "sprinkled" at the Methodist and then "dipped" at our home church. I was never "sprinkled" but I was "dipped" at our home church. Long story short when they were in their teens and accepted Christ I could see a change in them that I wanted too. I followed and by doing so was saved. God is good...all the time. If I remember to reach out to him and other fellow Christians and not isolate I feel better and I know He does too. God bless. :waving: Post Reply
