There we learn to discern the difference between how our Heavenly Father sees us, and would like us to see ourselves, and how Satan tries to convince us otherwise. Those of God's children who experience mental disorder challenges deal with this "battle of true perspective" more frequently and with more extremes than perhaps those who do not have those specific challenges. It is a fine balance between humility and recognizing our need for salvation/transformation and finding strength in our divine inheritance and possibilities. I too can often not empathize with the part of me that experience periods of worthlessness when I am no longer in that place, although I do tend to keep my ability to empathize with others who require my compassion and non-judgment. I easily forget how real and bad that place feels. Of course I've been through it so many times now (I'll just say I'm a little older than you) i recognize the pattern as it transitions and try to be more understanding and compassionate with myself as it does.Susiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167237948804803231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2780506856626441160.post-88943833214927830372013-05-19T19:16:52.579-07:002013-05-19T19:16:52.579-07:00Have you ever looked into the possibility that you...Have you ever looked into the possibility that you might have DID and not just be bi-polar? With "one heart, many minds", that pretty much describes one with DID. I have DID and was told for years by medical doctors that I was bi-polar. I am not bi-polar at all, just had healing I needed to do with the DID. MichaelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
