OK, how to relate this to faith:
Sometimes it takes faith to accept the diagnosis of being bipolar. OK, so I am bipolar. I have moods and I have modes. I have faith enough to accept me for the person I am.I will clean the office when I get in the mood, and not a minute sooner. Accept it, believe it, have faith in me enough to know that I will do it but not until I am in the mood. Nothing you can say will make it possible to do until I am actually in the mood. I cannot even see through the project until I catch the vision. I am reacting to the clutter, the confusion, the anger, and I will not touch it until I am ready. Got it? Good. Now, finally, I am LIBERATED! Don't mention it again. When I'm ready I will do the job. Until then, I will pray, exercise my faith, and start somewhere else in the house, knowing eventually, that the mood will hit. I will see the vision, know where to sort things, and in a day have it done.
Why is it so hard for non bipolars to get it?
