I was diagnosed with bipolar in my teens. I dont keep it a secret, but i dont like to talk about it just for the sake of talking about it. It SUCKS! PERIOD. I wrote the following in response to a friends post about so called Christians & their thoughts about Robin Williams. I agree with her about the judgements being made. True Christianity is unconditionally loving, not condemning. This will probably upset some of you, thats okay. Anyway, here it is: I am Christian. I have been for years. I also have bipolar. Without my relationship with Jesus, I wouldnt be here. I still get scared when I get suicidal thoughts or go into a deep depression. It isnt always depression that causes them. Sometimes in a manic state I get very frantically agitated & the thoughts are crazy racing in my head & suicide is one of the things that I have to fight thinking about. I like to think it will never happen, but being Christian doesnt make me immune to mental illness, suicide or other illnesses. I am not magically happy. A true Christian should understand this. I really think it is sad that there is so much hate that goes back and forth from one group to the other. That hurts too. Either way, I hope suicide never wins in my life. I hope we can still be friends.
