Disciple of Prayer
I have suffered from bipolar 1 disorder for the past 30 years. For the past 18 years, I have suffered from the rare form of bipolar disorder known as ultradian rapid cycling disorder. I have cycled into mild to severe depression culminating with strong suicidal ideations every 2 to 12 weeks for 2 to 6 weeks. Because I have been unsuccessfully tried on 40 to 50 different medications for the depressive periods, I used to be under the assumption that depression was my "thorn in the flesh." However, a part-time minister recently reminded me that Jesus was in the business of healing while He was here on earth, and that He is the same today as He was yesterday and forever. Therefore, please join me in prayer that provided my depression is not God's will, that Jesus heal me of the depression once and for all. I have attempted my life 8 times over the 18 years, 6 times over the past 2 years. Indeed, God has performed miracles to save my life.
