Also my mother believes my condition is caused by the devil possessing me. I was watching Harry potter over the break and she freaked out and said that I was watching Harry potter every time before my three hospital stays and that it's a gateway to letting evil into my life. She said "mark my words, you'll be back in the hospital in no time". Obviously I proved her wrong. The last time I had to go to the hospital I asked her to take me so my husbands car wouldn't be left unattended in the city. She took me to her church first and the pastor told me if I just accept Jesus as my savior the devil will leave and my brain will be healed.
So I don't talk to her about this anymore.
My husband is a lot of "did you take your meds" when I get grouchy. He expects a miracle with them. We had a huge fight this morning. Yes I'm taking it and it's not helping so shut up.

I'm christian but fortunately my family and pastor understand my disease is physical and not spiritual. My aunt and my father are bipolars too, it's genetical, like heart disease.Tell your mother many converted christians experience mental disease and many of them had good testimonials like myself, and many pastors have depression too. After my psychosis I thought it happened for spiritual reasons but I couldn't understand why since I was praying all the time and actually being too religious was part of the problem. If you convert that means you will find lots of peace and comfort that will help you with the disease but cure is a process, it may happen or may not happen. I believe many are cured but in my case being converted didn't stop my disease to destroy great part of my life and relationships. I'm still dealing with it, I keep having faith and taking my meds. You should keep having your meds, in time they will make effect. If you stop you will get worse.
