...I am very, very pleased to share with you that I have been completely delivered from Bipolar Affective Disorder! PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!!!
I do not believe in mere coincidence. But I do believe in Divine Appointment. I believe that when I joined this Forum it was by Design and Divine Appointment. The time had come... I have been off of medications for this for some time now -about 2+ months. I went to see my psychiatrist the other day and when I told her that I stopped the medications she really surprised me! She said: "GOOD!!!"

Easy isn't it!
To make predictions fit after the fact.
I'm bipolar, I decided to join a forum, I'm now off of medicines, ergo, must be because I joined the forum. The forum MUST have the power of healing, therefore must be divinely inspired. God MUST be present there, because I am now off the drugs.
The mythical creator of everything, everywhere, chooses to lead you to a forum and then heal you when it won't heal the sick, injured, diseased or unlucky all over the world.
You arrogrant fuckwit.
Actually guys, a belief in God in psychiatric disorders can be pivotal in helping strengthening resilience to psychological stress. Hence by believing in God it could've easily cured her bipolar as the condition is psychological, not physical.
It can be explained in neurochemistry, but I won't explain it, I have no information from a neurochemical point of view, only psychological.
Er, I'd rather wait several more months to see. Psych meds take fiendishly long time to wear off. Not to mention the placebo effect (reversed, in this case, but still).
@ Mitch: god is a placebo?
Not exactly, its a psychological state, the belief in God gives the person resilience when dealing with psychological stress involved in bipolar, since its a psychological disorder, it could be considered treatment. It would be exactly the same as having loving family support.
Of course in all things psychological (especially personality disorders) there is a large amount of ifs and buts because psychology is not real good at using scientific method effectively.
"GOOD!!!" (backs away slowly)
God does not work like that. He does not make appointments. You have to go through three receptionists. And they are not in the least interested in you.
Joining this forum has made you clinically insane.You should keep taking the medication, for all our sakes.
fergus
Your shrink actually said;
Good! Just what we need, another lunatic off her meds and running wild in the streets.
@Mitch: Bipolar is psychological, not physical? There's no chemical imbalance in the brain that causes it or aggravates it? Geez, I wish my son had known that. Maybe he wouldn't have blown his brains out.
@ Sisyphus, yes, those chemical changes can be altered by thought processes because all your thoughts are, is electrochemical potential reactions releasing chemicals across a synapses.
In other words, every mental illness according to you could be considered physical, as it always has to do with 'brain wiring' and chemical imbalances of neuroreceptors. That's just not the termonology that people in the profession use (most). Now, different thoughts alter chemical transmitters which are recepted in the brain - I'll let you figure the rest.
And its a point of view on whether God is a placebo or not, since it depends on whether he exists or not to believe in.
Even if Godschild doesn't have it anymore it's not because of God.
Our brain chemistry is influenced by our thoughts and our experiences as much as genetics. Traumatic events can lead to a very disturbed psychke. Maybe Godschild has coincidentally resolved some things at the same time he's asked "God" to cure him.
More likely though Godschild is using his belief in God to suppress his feelings, and that will only work for a while and then the problem resurfaces.
I'd like to take this moment to shout a big "Fuck you" to the responders in that post who are encouraging this poor woman to ignore her problems. I hope when she hurts herself or someone else, you feel horrifically guilty for enabling her recklessness. Fifty bucks says she's manic and about to hit a bad crash.
Sorry. I'm bipolar myself, and I actually do what I'm supposed to because I like being sane. BS like this just makes me spitting mad.
I"M FREE!! FREE FREE FREE!! This feels wonderful! Praise God for curing me...healing me and making me whole. I feel like I'm walking on air!
Oh this feels just....just...I don't know....OK I guess. Yeah. Really ummmm great. Yeah.
Well, back to the grind now. The soul-killing grind of every-freakin'-day life. Whoo. Praise Jesus and whatever.
God sometimes I just don't know if it's all worth it. Big fat "Amen". I'm just going to sit here and watch my stories for a few hours. Or days. Or whatever.
I'm sorry Mitch, I gotta call BS on that one. If you have neurochemical problems, you REALLY need meds so you can rebalance the neurochemistry. My sister is Bi-Polar, and she doesn't believe she has it, therefore it should go away right? right??? Oh wait, no it doesn't, she is still prone to manic periods and then a crash. So unless you can bust out some good sources where your getting this, I've gotta say total BS
Conclusive proof that god exists. Thanks godschild.
Hey, one question though, why did god allow you to get Bipolar Affective Disorder in the first place? I never understand that.
I call bullshit.
BD is lifelong. Any psychiatrist with a brain would tell you to get back on your meds A.S.A.P.
Unless by "psychiatrist", you mean "pastor"
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
