MDJunction to me

"MDJ has been a saving grace for me. It has taken from me that feeling of being so alone in the management of my Bipolar Disorder. I am not alone any more!! The friends on MDJ that I have made have kept me going. I am more at peace with myself now, thanks to all the people here on MDJ. I thank God for each one of them. MDJunction is the place of Hope."

norma Posts: 10109 Group Leader	maMONa!!! I just read this!!! sounds like you are having a really tough time. Please go for help. It may surprise you that getting help is the way out. If you lose your mind you are going to lose the job anyway if you can't cope. There is nothing to be ashamed of about getting help. Please do it...love ya bunches...you know I do. You have been there for me. Gloria would say to H&LL with what people think. You worry about yourself and getting the help you need...be selfish for once. Think of maMONa and what she needs to become healthy....

Hello MaMONa. Please get the help you need. Do you have sick leave where you work? If so, you could just use that and get help. You can simply say you have to go in for testing and say you would rather not talk about it.

With God, all things are possible

I think it's great that you know you need help and you are asking for it. You need to go get it. Don't be afraid of telling people about it. They don't need to know about any of it. Get with a psychiatrist and get put on medications, you will feel a lot better. We need medications to get better and I think you know that. Don't suffer, it's an awful way to go through life. Please get the help you need. We will be here for you every step of the way.
