The Bipolar’s Prayer
I know that, in this moment, you see little hope.
I know that you want only an end to the pain you feel.
But please, feel what I say, in this moment, and survive with me.
Ride with it. Pull with it. This is not a monster that can beat you. It has tides like the ocean. It has rides like the bull - if you can top it, learn to roll with it. It may take days, month's - years. You may see water, in the form of waves. Some may cover you, and you may gasp for breath.
But you can survive.
You must survive.
Learn to ride this thing. Learn to breathe.
Start now...in this moment.
In.........
Now out........
Embrace the dark – don’t fight it, let it wash through you until you know it, and hold onto that bit of reality that will keep you alive. Find those things dearest to you, hold their memories in your mind and let them carry you. Do *not* let that go. Repeat the mantra of life…a prayer, a song, a curse…it doesn’t matter. Soon, reality will be bigger than the dark again. You will have come out the other side, and you *WILL* know how to walk through fire and this thing will never have so much power over you again.
You can survive this thing. You will survive this thing.
It isn't the hardest thing you will do.
