Hi!!! My name is Cindy Hebert and I have Bipolar with Anxiety Disorder. However, that is just my disease not who I am. I am a Christian, a Mother of two boys, a Sister, a Daughter, and a Preacher's Wife. Most of all I want to be a friend.
I love my life, but there are things that I don't like. I will share with you the ups and downs I have had dealing with both disorders. They are not a death sentence like a used to think and they really can enrich your life if you learn how to use your positives and not the negatives.
I have not always felt this way and I want to take you on my journey as to how I came to think that way and the major struggles I have had in the past. Through all of this God, my family, and my church have been by my side. I will share with you my life transparently.
By my saying all of this, I want to be a friend and a help others who are struggling with some of the same issues. Maybe it is just depression, maybe it is the loss of a loved one, maybe it is just anxiety but all of these can be an overwhelming cross to bear. I am by no means a doctor, a counselor, or a expert. I am just me with real life experiences that have changed my life.
God is my doctor and His word is my supreme expert. I haven't realized that for many years and really not until recently have I realized that. I have always been a pessimist and I am becoming more of an optimist with the Lord's help.
I chose the Buzz on Bipolar because I love bees. Not because they are busy and making sweet honey. In all reality, they can be awful pesty. No pun intended. A bee is not naturally or aerodynamically created to be able to fly, but they do. God created them to!! So they do and they do it often. That is what there main purpose is to do is fly and make a better environment for others like flowers. I want to be a BEE!! I want to be exactly what God created me to be and to make my environment better. I am not referring to reduce, reuse, and recycle. I am referring to making my own life, my family, my church, my community and my world a better place with God's help as He would have it to be. Even having Bipolar.
So stay in tune to the BUZZ on the life as a child of God with Bipolar.
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteI cant wait to see what you have to share, as I too have Bipolar with anxiety disorder, and I know that it can be rough, but then you have good days and wonder why am I going through this, I do have a wonderful husband who carefully attends to my needs not sure how he handles it because at times I feel that I am out of control and a burden to him, but God has put him in life for a reason that I am not sure of yet LOL I have my list that you gave me and I have read it today and I am sure that he read it to and wondered what it was, not sure cuz he didn't ask LOL, I try to hide my feelings alot so that he will not have to worry if I am ok or suicidal. He is always there when I need him though, I'm sorry that I started rambling since this is your blog, just had to get that off my chest. Love ya
