Somehow I think that God is preparing me to eventually do some work that may serve a higher purpose, but it's easy to call that into question when treatments for my disorder (both chemical and otherwise) don't seem to produce lasting improvements. Still, I tend to take comfort in my relationship with God, even when I don't actually feel like I'm being influenced or guided by Him, and I feel like my relationship with God has helped to see me through some of my darker hours.

> TomatheusT,
You wrote,[...a relationship with God...God is preparing me...treatment..don't..produce lasting improvements...God has helped me..my darker hours..].
I am unsure as to all that is involved here in what you wrote. If you could leave a detailed message, I could get back to you.
A. Which God do you have a relationship with?
B. Does this God have any scriptures that the people that give service and worship to this God use?
C. In those scriptures, if there are any, do they speak to what that God prescribes to people that take mind-altering drugs?
D. Does this God claim to have created the heavens and the Earth?
E. If this God writes in the scriptures, if any, that one can be delivered out of depression and addiction, do you know how that can be done?
