Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Let's say you're me, and you have lost all faith. You desperately need your faith b/c that's what has driven you for many years. You have, over the past couple of years, deduced that there is either no God, or that God is evil. You desperately want that faith though...so you've arranged to see a priest that you know and respect.
What sort of questions would you ask him? What would you say to help you to regain your faith?
This is not a religious post, I don't want anyone to tell me how they've found strength in God...I haven't. I've lost that. All I ask is "What would you ask?"

I know that in my life I'm often angry over feeling unfairly burdened with problems when other people get to skate along. Perhaps you can ask the priest why, if there is a god, would he choose to give life to someone who he was only going to subject to undue misery. I know that this is one of my big questions.
*posters please note - I do NOT want responses aimed at answering that question for me.
that being said, i too often wonder why i have suffered so much and made my family especially my kidlet suffer. i would ask why. why me? why not you? the questions may sound selfish, but I get what you are saying. been there myself. right now, i have found some sort of peace, not saying i will two months from now, but you get mt point.
why, why, why. those have been my questions. the next question may be how do i get out of this dark place? he may say something inane like turn to Lord Jesus and you will find the answer. bull hockey - that is not the answer i would what. you have to find the peace within YOU, the priest cannot give it to you(although it is a cheap therapy session). you could find peace from God, Jesus, Buddha, etc. but i think it comes from within and by you coming here and stating your feelings and wanting to find that peace within you is a stepping stone. it is in YOU.
this rant broung to you by a C & E (christmas and easter) catholic.
Why has God abandoned me? Why has he made it so difficult to find faith because of this this strife? How do I reconnect with God, when I my life so full of suffering? How do I regain faith when life is so difficult?
That's where I would begin.
I don't mean masturbation...but if you throw in a priestess ...I may think about it.
