hi everyone. sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. holidays have been crazy. so to answer some questions, yes I am on medication. five to be exact. and I thank God every time I take them. If you think you might have the same mood disorder, my medical doctor is Dr Knopf who is a well known doctor for treating mood disorders. My psychologist that I see is Dr. Lundy who has helped me to learn how to recognize symptoms and deal with the past.
To answer whether the feelings of worthlessness ever go away, I'll have to let you know once I get past that one. I was actually talking to Dr. Lundy about that today. The impulse control is what's hardest to get a hold of, which can lead to feeling worthless and putting yourself down because you JUST CAN'T DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. And that is VERY frustrating.
It's hard work to continue to tell yourself you're not worthless. That who you are is not a mistake. God doesn't think I'm worthless. He can handle all my mistakes. I just keep telling myself I AM seen as righteous to Him and I'm starting to believe it.
It doesn't go away immediately, but perseverence is the most important thing. Never give up!
It does get better!!!

Ask me questions
The original reason I started this blog was to help people understand better about bipolar and other mental disorders. I am going back to school to finish my psychology degree and hopefully be able to work in a psych ward.
The kinda ended up turning into me being able to lift things off my chest, but I would love to answer any questions you might have. I want people to know what my disorder is all about.
Have a great day!
