than any other depression ive ever experienced & ive spent my life depressed.or manic.or as a horriible dispicable human being that destroys everything in her path.for the first time in my 57 years i do not see any light at the end of the tunnel.ive tried everything there is to try.ive recently come from a hospital stay where my artificially induced manic state had everyone nodding their heads saying "shes fine" then when the crash came i was accused of just not trying.ive run away. ive chased rainbows ive come back run away again & come back again.i sleep on a couch.i have a quarter of a coat closet space for all my things.ive spent all my money lost all my possesions in my last move & everyone who says "its just stuff get over it" still has all their stuff.my brain is a psychiatrists petri dish. for the past year i lived in isolation with only my brother & my mother to free me from the apartment that was my self induced prison(i had moved from a big city to a place where you had to have a car & to my humiliation im too frightened to drive)my mother & brother do not believe in mental illness.you can imagine how that went.i developed fear.of everything.i have moved back to live (on the couch.in plain sight of everyone)with my estranged husband & my children whose lives i am destroying..my mental illness has been unleashed(like james mc avoys "beast" in the movie "split")...................i am diagnosed bipolar borderline(to my horror)& PTSD(which others find to be a big fat joke bc i have no scars)i have no hope & i cant help pushing everyone far far away

I am very sorry! Are you meeting with a counselor? It's no easy to struggle with depression. A counselor who is understanding and caring can help a lot. I know also that taking walks outside helps a lot too. Don't give up! It gets better if we do things to help ourselves. I am very sorry about the despair and how bad things are! I hope with all my heart that you feel better and that the whole situation improves. Don't give up! You are not alone!

Hey, I'm really sorry that you're experiencing this, and I am sorry you got a weird response as the first response. It is messed up when you get up the courage to pour your heart on a message board and then you get a weird response or zero responses! We're already fragile and it's not easy to not take it personally.

I cannot offer much advice, but would you like to talk more on this board? It may help. One thing I will say is that I doubt you are ruining peoples' lives the way you think. Depressives are often prone to feeling guilty way beyond what is appropriate.
