On the contrary...I fought tooth-n-nail about seeing any counselor in the first place because my new life with God was very precious to me and I didn't want secular mumbo-jumbo tainting that. It was after my Christian friend remembered another mentioning this particular Christian counselor that I relented.
It turned out to be one of the blessings in all this - once the medicines helped me get back some control, our sessions at times were more bible studies than anything because I wanted to know how to deal with everything in a Christian way. And because he was a professional, he had the authority to request time off for me, which was months at a time. It is something a pastor wouldn't have been able to do. Thanks to my counselor, I still have my job and am able to deal with the stresses better than I had before the breakdown. Finally, he helped find the root of my problems and sent me to another Christian who deals specifically in that area. Between the two of them, I doubt God could have sent me to a pair of Christians who were strangers to me that I could trust so deeply.
You may not have seen my earlier post on this thread - I have been off all meds for a year now. I am very aware of the physical symptoms of this illness and do what I need to when red flags start flying. I think much straighter than ever but cannot control the physical aspect of it all. It doesn't take much to get to the point of "running on fumes" and with a home and job at stake, I won't hesitate getting extra help from medicines if after all I can do still isn't enough. "Body of death" as Paul describes it, it's going to continue to break down and fail me. I will use what God has shown me to work, regardless of what others like you think.
