I am a Christian & for years before diagnosed I thought I was being filled with the Holy Spirit...on fire for God, etc. would become "addicted" to reading my Bible, praying, etc.
I now realize it was I was in a hypomanic phase.
Then I would crash & feel withdrawn...I thought maybe the devil was attacking me.
I'm still not sure.
I think he uses our MI against us.
To drive us away.
I pray for healing but I'm not sure that is God's will.
He may want me to learn how to love my sick self.
I dunno.
I don't have much insight but I think being a Christian adds another layer of confusion to my MI.
Just wanted you to know you aren't alone.
