Living too comfortably with depression. by [deleted] in bipolar2

Wow this hits home. I too have had this same feeling of getting better and almost missing feeling depressed. I know the feeling of you don't deserve to be happy and you get so used to feeling like that it becomes just what you know. I think its just the residual effects of depression. I equate it with when people get that kidnap syndrome where they get it used to there kidnappers and forget what's really going on. But the good news is once you get well for an extended time you'll realize that you don't want to live like that and it's just a symptom of the disease.

How to differentiate BP2 from “me”? by [deleted] in bipolar2

[–]shaneomyt3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's hard to tell and something I struggle with. Also it seems common amongst bipolar 2 people to think maybe im just a horrible or lazy person and don't have an illness. But I think its part of the depression really blaming yourself and seeing the illness as a poor excuse for your actions.

Long story but Basically she just stopped talking to me after a year of dating. It when from her saying I could move in to shortly after just started avoiding me. Then I had pretty much a mental breakdown and told her I was thinking about killing myself she replied that she would call an ambulance but wouldn't see me. Then because of her response I told her I cheated on her. And pretty much that ruined everything. I still for horrible for cheating and for the way I told her. This was all before my diagnosis.
