Bi polar and hanging onto the roller coaster

[copasedic]

Hi everyone!

I go by the name Copasedic..... I'm a survivor of bipolar for 32 years. It's a gift in that it requires me to completely trust in God to get me through the tough spots. I like to "graze" through the forum from time to time, but Im a wife and mom and I also volunteer on the local ambulance squad as an EMT. I help my husband at his shop once a week. I know your struggles.....

Hi Copasedic,

It sounds like you are leading a successful life. I don't have the advantage of faith, but I can appreciate the benefits it has on your life.

My life isn't all that successful but I do have a wonderful husband! 2 children ( 15 and 20yrs old) that are spoiled a bit. I spend a good deal of the day disconnected from society as I feel like a misfit and don't have many (hardly any) friends.

Hello and welcome. So you admit to being a stalker Ha ,ha . Enjoy. I am a child of God and as you know that doesn't mean I have no troubles. Jesus is my go to friend and through Him I am forgiven. So that's one less thing to worry about. ( see saying that kind of thing gets me into trouble, but it's true and I don't feel Jesus would be upset with me, From what I've read He was a bit of a rebel himself.) At church though I'm always on shaky ground and it takes up energy that I would rather use else where. This means I have few church friends because they are afraid of guilt by association. Conforming isn't an option for me although I do try to restrain myself on this site. Not always successfully. I think the feelin is I'm slightly disturbed. Any way I hope you come back. I can always use someone Copasedic. pye

I totally understand the nonconformist part! I do worship regularly but don't always feel connected to everyone. That's ok the church is a body made up of many parts.

howdy! Lovely piccy sweetie I don't have religion to guide me, but I am always quite in awe of those that do! I tens to have the help of a supportive family and a few close friends in my rough spots, so I manage reasonably well I've often found I don't 'fit in' with most social groups, apart from steampunk hehe.

anyway, nice to meet you xxx

Steampunk... anything like hot yoga?
