Being bipolar is exceptionally difficult.
Even when it is the manageable functional kind, not the manic rages and suicidal binges kind.
Identifying where I truly fall on the pendulum swing and sticking to it no matter what my emotions/hormones tell me on a particular day. It's a good thing that a. the Lord has given me some exceptional will power and rational reasoning skills and b. I am not asked to face this alone.
But seriously.
I should start trying to write seriously about my battles with depression. Maybe it could help other Christians out there, fighting the internal mechanisms and the stigma all at once. Or even non-believers, though my walk with this biological function is so intrinsically wrapped in God that it might be kind of foreign. Or maybe it will just be clarifying.
