Many are the challenges a mother with Bipolar faces. Many more when her only child who is a teen has Aspergers' Syndrome. Let me explain what I mean~ A Fragmented Mind is just that a thought process that is confused, not whole, missing information, sick and defenseless.
I often think of the scripture where it says put on the whole armor of God Ephesians 6:10-18 A mind that is fragmented is defenseless, not able to comprehend nor process reality and therefore always in harms way.
Yesterday, was a very challenging day for my son and I. I was praying and journaling when I heard heavy metal music coming from my sons room. I look at the computer screen and there is this song called " Murder Me" on YouTube. My son was watching these horrible pictures and because he loves to see things over and over it was plastered in his brain in seconds. What caused my son to put such a thing on? His fear of the rain and thunderstorms. A fragmented mind develops many phobias and fears that freezes them from moving forward.
I didn't get angry, but turned the computer off and then I had to wait until my son stopped chanting and evoking the enemy. How at that moment I called on the name of Jesus and my son looked up. I spoke to my son and explained what the bible says about the enemy and how he was trying to distract my son and confuse him. I explained as simple as I could the assignment that has been placed upon our lives as believers and the enemy knows how short of a time he has and why he wants to destroy us. That got his attention.
Well my son went with my husband to a youth service and he listened to the message and prayed with the teens, however, when he came home he was talking about suicide and cutting himself. Again it was starting all over. A fragmented mind may say it's hopeless and life is worthless.
As a mother living with a fragmented mind I do put on the armor of God and know without a doubt that I am perfect, whole, created in His image and therefore no matter how distorted the atmosphere may look ~ My Daddy in Heaven has it all under control.
