Re: Here's my story

Aloha and good morning. The sun is shining and I can feel it's warmth. The birds are singing a joyful tunes. Each, with their own unique voice. Just as each of us lends our unique voice to this world. I am encouraged by all that God has provided me. He gives me challenge to make me strong to overcom...

Re: Here's my story

Thanks for the encouragement. I do feel that God had a wonderful purpose for me through my journey. What I didn't say was that my husband was verbally abusive and cheated on me continuously, yet I clung co-dependently to him. I believe God planned for me to find myself and my strength through divorc...

Re: Am I living?

Thanks for the hugs! My family drives me nuts! My little sister called my oldest son and told him she thought I was using drugs agai (I am 17 years clean), because all I wanted to do is sleep and had become agoraphobic. My son went nuts! He started accusing me of drug abuse and demanded I go rehab o...

Here's my story

I can say I've been to hell and back and mean it! I was married 17 years. I had a great house, 2 kids, 3 cats, 2 roosters and a dog. Lol. And then there's my husband. I like to say he was a Ken doll. All looks and no real heart. I spent 17 years as loyal as they come. I worked full time always. I di...

Am I living?

I wake up each morning and it's the same thing. I feel nothing! I am not happy, I'm not sad I'm just N-O-T-H-I-N-G. Is this living? I can't think of a single reason to crawl out of this bed (except to pee). So, I roll over, put the pillow over my head and avoid it all. Next day I do it all over agai...

Re: i told my mom im depressed and it didnt go well

I've been wondering if things are any better? I'm glad your dad is being supportive. Maybe mom is struggling with her support because she doesn't know how? Be patient with her okay? I want to assure you that you will feel lighter in the heart someday. It may be for only a short while or be forever, ...

Re: Bipolar suicidal depression anxiety

I hate to hear you are struggling so. I suffer from Bipolar 1 Disorder and I think your in-laws must be related to mine. Take a deep breath okay! Your in-laws are something you can control. Does hubby know you can't take this with them? If not, talk calmly with him. Tell him of your anxiety and you ...

Re: Life isnt fair :(

Hello today! Sounds like another rough one. Can I make a suggestion? Have you tried inpatient therapy? I know we all cringe at the thought but would it help to be away from everyone and everything and all responsibilities? It's hard to carry a full time job when all this is going on. Would it help t...

Re: I'm getting worse

Aloha, I know it's hard to hear others say "I understand" but I do. I went and go through periods I don't want to get out of bed for weeks. I sleep for days. I went 3 months without leaving my house. So I DO understand. It's hard for others to feel what we are feeling and worse to support ...

Re: im dying and no one cares

I loved your description of where you live. I grew up in a really small country town. I remember hot summer nights my daddy would pull yard lounge chairs out into the yard and we would lay there watching the stars, listening to the sounds of the crickets surrounded by fireflies. Occasionally, we cou...

Re: Quite a mess

Life can certainly be overwhelming can't it? I am 59 and I've done some pretty stupid things since diagnosis of Bipolar Manic Disorder 1 at age 38. So you are NOT alone. I have a few good days among mostly days of nothingness. I have one friend where I live. She is 29 miles away with no car so we ne...

Re: Feeling lonely right now

Seems like I keep relating to your posts. I feel like you are me when I was younger. Lol. I always had terrific jobs my whole life. When I went through a divorce after 17 years of marriage my world crashed. I was diagnosed Bipolar Disease 1. It began to come together. I struggled from there forward....

Re: Meds question

I hope you talked to DOC about mess and how your feeling. There are so many drugs and they seem to each be specific to something. I've switched meds about 5 times over the years. I think our chemistry adjusts in the brain. I also took ECT (Electro compulsive therapy) and it helped. Anytime you feel ...
