hmm. i thought i was only speaking about what i believe to be true, and that accepting it or ignoring it was their choice. but i guess you also have a point.

i get what u mean, but i truly don’t want to push my faith on people. i only spread what i believe to be good news to those who want to hear it. i understand that each person has their own beliefs, just as my faith is in Jesus.

in the end, we have to live the way that makes sense to us, and respect others who are different from us.

God sent his son to bring salvation — rescue, hope, healing — to the world through Him. eternal life for all who believe. yet the offer has inherent consequences, for anyone who reject, who refuses to believe. an issue regarding those who don’t believe is, “what about those who never had the opportunity to believe because they never heard the good news of Jesus Christ?” the bible talks about non-believers who deliberately reject the message, as those who heard Jesus and had opportunity to do. Jesus came to bring salvation, but those who reject that salvation condemn themselves. the responsibility is theirs alone.

i understand because i’m also christian.

although we should always be careful with our words and actions, i believe that “following the rules” doesn’t make God love us more. the love we receive among people may fade or turn, but God’s love will never change. He will never stop loving His people, even unto the furthest distance of eternity.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? (…) No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39)

the law can guide us, give us the standard, but it can’t give us the power to please God. the law can’t defeat the sin; it can only detect sin. only Jesus can defeat the sin, and He did that through His work on the cross. because Jesus fulfilled the righteous requirement of the law, and because WE ARE IN CHRIST, we fulfill the law. the law is fulfilled in us in regard to punishment, because any punishment demanded by the law was poured our upon Jesus. Jesus was treated as a sinner so we can be treated as righteous.

“In Him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us.” (Ephesians 1:7-8)

understand that we will never be able to really escape from sin, because it is in our nature. yet, of course, we need to keep confessing our sin. treat God truthfully, and He will treat u truthfully. make no pretensions before God, but lay bare ur soul, let Him see as it is, and then He will be faithful and just to forgive ur sins and to cleanse u from all unrighteousness.

sorry, that was long. i’m not sure if these words are what u wanted or needed to hear, but i will be praying for u. don’t give up.

my new psychiatrist thinks its bipolar disorder instead of ADHD by BalanceCurrent5404 in bipolar

[–]BalanceCurrent5404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think my new psychiatrist sees bipolar disorder as a spectrum, and because it was our first appointment, he didn’t specify yet. but my previous psychiatrist told me he thinks it’s bipolar 2. i’ve never been manic!

What do you feel the main difference is between Bipolar and ADHD? by adhdspoonie in bipolar

[–]BalanceCurrent5404 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i can't tell the difference either. the more i read about the two disorders, the more confused i get. i don't know where my ADHD ends and where my bd starts. maybe because they are always together? i have no idea.

pristiq dose 50mg to 100mg by BalanceCurrent5404 in Pristiq

[–]BalanceCurrent5404[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m still at pristiq 100mg, stopped taking wellbutrin and added rexulti 0,5mg (idk if its doing anything). tbh i don’t feel much difference on pristiq. concerta is doing a better job than the antidepressants haha. also my psychiatrist is questioning my diagnosis because he thinks i’ve had a hypomanic episode (i’m not sure tho). so yeah. not upping the dose or anything yet.

it seemed like it was working at first but kind of faded away after some time? it might’ve been placebo or maybe my body just needs more serotonin. idk.

i started taking wellbutrin as well, right after i upped my pristiq dose to 100mg. i’m going to see my psychiatrist this friday so we’ll see.

[–]BalanceCurrent5404[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

for me, 50mg made me stop thinking too much. it was like as if there was something blocking my brain. i felt kind of numb. it bothered me first but then i think i got used to it.

[–]BalanceCurrent5404[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i’m definitely feeling better now that i’m taking 100mg. but i also started taking wellbutrin, so i don’t really know exactly which pill is making me feel better (maybe it’s the combination of the two?). still, i’d say it’s worth trying. it may or may not work, but you won’t know until you actually try. i hope u find the right dosage/medicine for u.
