Hey Everyone,
I just recently spent 9 days in the hospital psych ward. I've been diagnosed as bipolar and had a very high episode. I am now on Lithium to stabilize my moods. I haven't really suffered the low, so today when I felt down and depressed, it was really tough for me. It is much nicer being high and happy all the time. The trouble with high and happy is that you can't relate to those who are depressed. I thank the Lord for giving me a better understanding of those who suffer depression and mental illness. My heart has grown three sizes bigger through this experience. All I want is to have the heart of Christ for all those around me. I just didn't expect it to happen through these means. God knows what he is doing and I rejoice even in the bad times. May His Kingdom come and His Will be done in my life and in the lives of all those who seek His face.
Love,
Selena
