Gosh dancing, that is a HORRIBLE experience. I am so sorry about that. As a bipolar sufferer also, I had the opposite experience. When I was severely ill with a psychosis eight years ago, the only people who came to the psych ward to visit me were three priests over the interval from my church. Pretty much all my friends turned around and ran; but not those men. Also without asking, I was annointed by the hospital chaplain for the Sacrament of the Sick.

When I came out of the hospital, I was approached by the Pastor, and was told that anything that they could do to help, my Parish was there for me. So again, I am terribly sorry that you were made to suffer at the hands of so-called Christian people, but you know yourself that this is not representative of the Christian message. It might be hard to do, but forgive them if you could, and bear in mind that you suffered enough with your illness, without unkind fanatics adding to your burden.
