VahnBlue Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Not sure if this guy is simply trolling, at this point. I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt, so I don't come off an asshole and insensitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zuker12 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I dont see why he would be trolling. If its a mental illness, it can get extremely bad at times. Sounds like an obsession or emotional investment of some sort... whilee i dont see him as traumatized, something may have affected his thought processes. Do you feel happy, terrified or intrigued when you watch xtian videos? Or none of the aforementioned? What do you feel, is it a joyful feeling or a frightened one or?

Super Moderator florduh Posted February 9, 2015 Super Moderator Share Posted February 9, 2015 Why deliberately expose yourself to a trigger? I don't get it.

It's like an alcoholic trying another drink just to see if he's still an alcoholic. To see if the Meds cured me of it Meds won't cure anything, but they help to manage the situation. You are deliberately undermining efforts to alleviate the problem. If you are not just trolling and genuinely do have bipolar and an attending religious fixation then give meds time to work, realize they may need some adjusting, and don't expose yourself to triggers just to test your progress. Keep your doctor/therapist informed of your experiences and thoughts. Take the advice of professionals. I hope that at least others can benefit from the advice in this thread and the links to information from others who suffer from bipolar disorder.

As someone who has bipolar type 1 disorder, THIS is truth. Meds manage your bipolar. It doesn't take care of it for you. You have to be vigilant and careful, and most of all, you have to take personal responsibility for your mental health. As you said, OP, you need to talk with your therapist and be open with them about this. That's your best avenue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a mental health professional, though. It would be bad ethics (not to mention against the rules here) to offer any kind of medical advice apart from urging you to talk to your therapist.
