I have been hospitalized seven times for rapid cycling manic-depression and am disabled with bipolar disorder. I live with manic-depression and become depressed at times with no energy or desire for no reason other than a chemical imbalance, which is not a sin just human imperfection. I have faith and hope and trust God's Word and find peace when I'm depressed all because of Jesus. There is joy in knowing Christ and to have hope of eternal life with no sadness or sorrow.
