Yesterday a friend from my Church shared with me his blog. It is very interesting as he shared his reflections on various things in life.
This reminded me that I have not been able to share much reflections in my recent posts.
Today I like to write on my reflections of God's goodness and mercies in sustainning me day be day and with the help of a new Injection medicine, the Lord Jesus is lifting me up and I am functional again.
After many years of severe mood swing with prolonged months of clinical depression, I finally sought medical help in December 2006 and was diagnosed to have Major Depression. I was given antidepressent medicines and thank God He restored me from the severe depression where I was very unfunctional most of the time. But 3 months later in March 2007, I experienced a period of euphoria where I could not sleep for several days and have a lot of energy and creativity. When my Psychiatrist saw me, she immediately said I am prone to Bipolar Disorder II (Manic Depressive Illness) and need to change my medication.
Thank God for sustaining me over the last 18 years with medical, counselling, exercise, eating healthy, etc etc. I am currently recovering from an episode of 2 months severe clinical depression where oral medication doesn't seemed to help very much.
A month ago, my Psychiatrist at Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH), Dr Chan Lai Gwen, tried me on an Injection and thank God it is helping me. She had reduced the dosages of some of my medicines twice. My next review is in early August. If I continue to stay well, I will be given this monthly Injection once a month. Thank God!
Spending time in nature and photography are therapeutic to me. So I have been taking short walks to the park near my home and took some photographs. I love to spend time in nature as it always remind me that God is our Creator and Redeemer. I serve a risen Saviour as the Lord Jesus Christ has lived, died and resurrected to redeem me and save me from eternal damnation. In Him, I have hope of eternal life and much blessings in this life and for all eternity. Thank God!
I took the following photos of sunrise when I went for my walk. I love to put Bible verses on them. These are my favourite Bible verses which brings a lot of comfort to me from God's Words.
May you be blessed by God's Words!
