Life long depression?

[Anonymous]

I've been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and ADHD, and Eupd, I've been trying to get help for so long, I don't know what to do anymore, my low moods overwhelm me and leave me exhausted, how can i get better without a good therapist?

seek help outside the system. I was working with a group that was building a church program on this. Not sure it got published as the driver of it was quite old, but it's honestly... common sense.

The problem is/can be unresolved trauma in childhood in so many cases. use the tools counselors know about (Erickson Clark chart, johari window, etc), a therapy group to help uncover these old experiences/feelings, locate the offending traumas and replace those with the love of God, speak the truth into them. That releases the negative energy held by that memory and frees you from the those emotions. That can resolve what you experience as symptoms, including physical... since traumas are held by the mind and body.

Lilydale NY may have some aids for this, or books. I have another reference I can send. It's a journey to heal yourself! Anything that gets your mind onto that path of self healing and discovery is your path out of the emotional traps you ran into as an unborn/child.

Connecting with God/Christ.. that is releasing negative emotions and accepting unforgiving love, living in that... is healing. I'm not talking about religion albeit, there's only one I know that delivers that.

The body is a system... spiritual, emotional, physical. It takes change to break any chains holding you where you are at. That may include diet, exercise, routine, etc..

How much sleep do you have a night?
What is your typical diet like?
How much exercise do you get a day?

My guess is that whilst your condition isn't solely down to the above, I do believe if you take care of those things, it will undoubtedly improve the symptoms.

If you do not have mental health workers, I recommend serving and praying to God and giving secret donations to charity or doing secret prayers for mentally ill people you know. The bible says your good deeds have to be secret if you want a reward. I also read frequent small gifts were better for your mental health than infrequent big gifts and that giving to causes you believed in was more emotionally beneficial than giving to impersonal causes you did not believe in out of guilt or a desire for heavenly or earthly reward. This is medically proven.

Are you kidding. You're peddling religious claptrap. Why comment if you're just going to be pious.

Doctors didn’t provide you referrals. Psychiatrist? Mental Health professionals?

[Asker]

No. They are trying to get me into group therapy, but I'm not really wanting that, if prefer one to one.

[Guy13]

I don’t know anything about that stuff. Got to start somewhere?
