It might sound crazy but I believe that suffering is a gift from God because it drives you to try to move closer to him. One of the Rabbis who visited me said that Jewish teaching says suffering is God's gift. Last night had another fight with Stella and this time I came out with a deeper meaning that we really are blessed by the depression when we turn to God and it will lead you to Heaven or the world to come. Don't look at bipolar depression as a punishment but as a gateway to heaven if you can withstand the pain.

I don’t think that sounds crazy. I like the way you are starting to look at things, and I hope that that way of thinking helps you

I’m not religious, but I do believe that suffering can make us stronger. I have had a hard life, and I think it has prepared me to deal with some of the other challenges that have come my way.

I think that both things can be true at the same time.

Yes, I think suffering is a way of life.

Some times people need to suffer to figure out how to live life.
I'm specifically talking about my son Dan right now.
He has had so much trouble living life not suffering, in some
way. Like probation is a part of his life. And personally I think
at this point if he doesn't have probation, he wouldn't know
what to do. I'm hoping as time comes he figures out how to
live life without being on probation.
