Without the consol of Orthodox priests and church services I would never have gotten better. One helped me recently in the middle of a severe manic episode when I drove over 400 miles hoping he would save me from being setup by the state police. He was very kind and understanding and after some talk gave me a crucifix icon, sandwiches, and more than enough money to get home. Afterwards I was very exhausted but I was able keep my job with no issue thanks to negotiating getting my shift covered. Soon after this episode ended I started this semester of electrical engineering classes which I absolutely love. Before this I was unable to sit at a computer or drive safely let alone work or study for 18 months. I don’t think it is fair that I can’t share my experience without being afraid of my post being removed despite me wanting to show others it can get better no matter what your diagnosis is.
It’s explained in the rules.
