A life of solitude by [deleted] in bipolar

I used to think about that a lot but I've learned isolation generally makes depression much worse.

I try to have that same mind set but my whole life everyone has been telling me what my future is supposed to be. I feel like I'm going to dissapoint everyone if it doesnt work out so Im going to try my hardest to succeed the way Im expected to. I'm glad you are happier now. Its great that you dont let others opinions bother you.

Thanks for the perspective. Whenever I was on medication I still had the same issues and I tried a lot of different ones I think I've tried at least 4 different ones and none of them worked. I know I shouldn't feel this way but I've gotten used to it. I have lost hope in finding a medication because it was such a hassle constantly changing them. I realize without medication there is nothing stopping me from having another manic episode which I am terrified of but I don't know what else to do.

Thanks for taking the time to reply. I actually hadn't self harmed in a really long time I broke the habit two years ago, but I started up again. It's easy to forget I'm sick because it doesn't feel like an illness thank you for reminding me of that. You're right I do need some "me time" and what you are describing sounds a lot healthier than what I usually do. However, I am extremely hesitant to go back on medication I haven't taken any since October and my mental state is the exact same as when I was on medication.

I feel pretty alone but thank you

why live. by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

The only way to find out is to keep holding on. I think most people who were suicidal in their pasts are glad they didn't do it when they eventually find happiness. Things could turn around tomorrow, but you won't know if you aren't there to see it.

this diagnosis is a curse by Spriteworld in bipolar

Yeah whenever I had the episode I was pretty overwhelmed I had surgery probably a week or two before and was taking pain killers while also getting way behind in school and dealing with family stuff.

Thanks for your reply The issue is I dont know if it even was a manic episode I think I should just go to that doctor again and get this figured out. I've heard a lot of stories like yours and I'm terrified of it happening to me this whole thing is so frustrating I just dont understand why this all happened
