IBelieveInAngels Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Hey. My name is Benjamin. I'm 20 years old. I haven't been on a mission, been to the temple or any other typical Mormon stuff. I live in a rural area and it's very hard to get to church. I'd ask the ward for help, but no one comes to visit. I'm having a very hard time reconciling my faith and my mental illness. I've been diagnosed bipolar. It just really doesn't feel like God loves me because even if I do the things I'm supposed to, I always feel like crap anyways. The singles ward wasn't very helpful. I asked for help finding a ride and no one offered to help. I feel myself losing hope in the things that once brought me solace. I really want to get my patriarchal blessing, but an addiction to masturbation stands in the way. Is there any hope for me whatsoever??? I need help but no one is willing. Quote
Suzie Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 I just wanted to welcome you and tell you that I know God loves you. :) People who struggle with depression, bipolar or other mental illnesses have really a lifelong challenge ahead of them but please don't lose hope. Quote
