Shortly after I was diagnosed I do not know if it was me or the bipolar. But I through myself into church. I went to church on Sunday’s, Wednesday’s for Bible study and my church had a second Thursday Bible study at 11AM. I went to that too. So for people like her to be so stupid. I was nice because her sister (my daughter’s grandmother) passed away from MS. I’m sure their family did a lot of praying however her MS was not cured. I was polite and did not go there.
