May 9

Cymbalta for a deep depression. Snapped me into an 8 day cycle. For the first time a psychiatrist saw me as bipolar, but... classified me as bp2 because I hang out low more than high. Didn't matter that I experienced psychosis. I literally held Christ's hand while I was walking. I could feel his love flowing into me. And all the while he was beaming new Bible verses for me to share.

Wish the meds worked better. I still cycle. Having real trouble the last few weeks.

Thanks for sharing your story!
