It really does start getting better....

I have mentioned before I do not hold a degree in anything so all of this is my opinion based off of MY experiences.

One thing I know at least with me is that although I want the help I have to make myself do it.  Sad thing about this disease or what ever you wish to call it, it likes to suck you in deeper.  I can only imagine what it is like for those who are bipolar and beyond.  I honestly haven't done a whole lot of research on bipolar disorder but if you have bouts of depression with this, then I might have a little grasp on what you feel at times.

I know when I am in a deep funk I could careless about anything.  I just go through the motions.  I am changing that because in my situation I have to be better mentally.  I don't like who I am when I am in one of those downward spirals.  My family and friends don't like it either and let me tell you another thing it is SO exhausting!

I say that but I really had to force myself to finally go and see another therapist and get my meds changed.  Sadly, if you are on the asking end of someone you love to go and check to see if there is a better option.  They are going to be the biggest, meanest, butthead around.  And trust me there are times looking back that I would have smacked the living snot out of me.  Seriously, I was horrible.  Don't get me wrong I still have my moments but believe me it was UGLY.

There is hope. Yes, they are thinking that you are nagging and being a pain, but as much as you don't want to see that person sink deeper and possible destroy the person you know is in there, they just might have to before they wake up.

My suggestion to you, if you think that YOU need it, seek counseling yourself on how to handle that person ESPECIALLY if they live with you.  Keep praying.  Look at Jesus's life.  He knew what he was going to have to do, just because he was without sin doesn't mean he didn't have his down moments.
