Faith gives me something tangible to hold onto when in the depths of despair. Humility keeps me thankful and reminds me of everything good in my life, and last but not least, hope gives me something to look forward to.
I'm not a practicing anything really, organised religion does not my personality suite.
Jesus and I however have a good relationship and that's all that I need regarding my faith.
I think people who claim that faith makes their MI worse possibly have a skewed belief system or perception. Or I think they may be embracing it from the wrong angle, and that's what leads to even more misery in the end...
My road of faith has been a rocky one at times, yes in part fuelled by bipolar. But all it really took to repair my relationship with Christ was a fresh perspective.
You wanna know what it is?
God is not my own personal genie.
