@laurie3jean Hello laurie3jean, thank you for starting this discussion. This is an interesting topic, as religion can play an important or even a changing role in our lives as we age. Let me tag some other members who can maybe weigh in and share their experience.
Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well! How has faith or religion (or an absence of either) played a role in your life with bipolar disorder? Has it had a role at all? Do you feel it has helped you or hurt you? Why or why not?

*We may all come from different backgrounds and faith or belief systems, so let's remember to be respectful as it can be quite personal!* 
Take care,

I have struggled with my Faith. Sometimes good old Jesus and Bible have helped me and prayer. Other times it has hurt me. Spiritually has sometimes helped me and hurt me. I have had religious delusions so its a tricky thing. I do believe in a good force up there that is always good no matter what I am going through. That has helped me through some very tough times. Now when I need to I just talk to it about anything on my mind and ask for help. If nothing else it lightens the load in my head because I believe something good up there heard it. That loves me no matter what I say. Along with medication and therapy and hobbies it brings me some peace. What has been your experience?
