Please pray for my daughter, Lesa, who is bi-polar. It appears she was manic for months, which is abnormal as she has always been very depressed. She also self medicates. During the mania she met a man on facebook who was not a Christian, however, he decided to become one without Baptism or attending any church, he also led her into conspiracy theories about the last days and horrible events that will happen. He is out of her life now, but she still believes all this and reads websites that are written by some real “nut” cases.
She crashed a month ago and became very depressed and just wanted to sleep all the time. She took at least two different types of medications that caused her to get in her car and was caught sitting asleep at a stop sign. Now she must go to court and I am not well enough to take her shopping, to the doctor etc. if she loses her license. I understand that it was dangerous to others, however, I just don’t have the strength anymore to take care of her and she won’t go into a home where she is taken care of. She has two cats and they are like her only solace.
If anyone here has dealt with someone who is bi-polar and feels that they are not capable of getting better, this is what I feel as it is a disease just like others and some can not be cured etc. She also has wanted to die since she was a teen and wonders why God hasn’t taken her. Her psychiatrist I feel has given up on her and who knows when he will desert her. Psychiatrists apparently feel that if a patient doesn’t get better that it is because they don’t want to. I know Lesa would love to be normal, she just doesn’t have the ability to do what he wants her to do.
Please pray for her and if anyone has dealt with this type of disease and understands what I am trying to convey, please feel free to PM me with any suggestions or help. Sorry about the rambling as I can’t really relate what this disease can do to a person and their loved ones on a thread.
God Bless
