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!!!

Hi Heather! I am so priviledged to be able to watch you - AND walk with you along this journey. It is getting better, isn't it!
Hi Heather,
It is cool that you are letting people know about being bipolar. I have had issues with anxiety for the past ten years which has caused intense panic attacks when I drive. It is some kind of fear of being trapped thing. I can some what understand what you are going through. What I learned is that it is a journey. You'll have good days and you'll have bad days. I think that trying to learn about whats going on inside is the best to over come it. For me, I believe that the anxiety was how my body is making me deal with pain from my past that I have bottled up. As I look at what the fear is telling and sitting down dealing with the hurt, the fear goes away over time. I don't know if that will help but for me just dealing with the symptoms of anxiety didn't really help me to be free from anxiety. I hope this helps and I will be praying for you.
