I am bipolar. Bipolar 1 is when you have more hypomanic or manic episodes and bipolar 2 is when you have more depressive episodes
I have lost my desire to live. I'm not suicidal, but thoughts of my death sits on my mind like a jack in the box waiting to spring into action
I am unemployed and with financial struggles, feel the pressure of getting a job overwhelming. i feel like I'm not able to commit to anything because I will fail. My depression takes over, my body hurts and I'm not able to get out of bed. I would just end up losing whatever job I manage to get

I understand the feeling of having something good happen only to have it snatched away. I feel like I'm not supposed to have any happiness in my life.

I have no energy, what so ever. No motivation.
Hey, do you ever feel that way
I feel really heavy often and I lack the energy to even converse with people
When I play sports I run out of breath very quickly and I used to be a competitive athlete with amazing cardio.
I've done all the tests out there and keep going back to my GP and my doc what else can we test and do about it.
Of course all th tests came back negative. It's been lasting for about 3 years now and is so debilitating. I also feel slow and sluggish often.

Phyllis, I'm with you! Can't seem to find the right medicine. I get tired of fighting....
I had something happen the other day that embarrassed me and then made me angry. I used to burn. The inside of my left arm is a mass of scars. There are also some cut scars on each arm. There’s no way to cover them. Long sleeves when it’s 90+ out are not an option. I’ve never had anyone ask me to my face what was on my arm. The other day while sitting with other people this woman asked what was on my arm!!!!! I quickly hid it and mumbled a non answer. Now I’m furious. Has anyone else… read more

UPDATE
I had to see a psychiatrist at IBH because of Medicare laws and was anxious about it but after arriving I found her to be very thorough in her job and we spent over an hour mostly discussing all of the medications I am on. My medication list is quite long so I carry a list with the doctors that prescribe them and I showed it to her and some goes along with mental health. Well to make long story short she is removing Mirtazapine, upping Gabapentin from 600 to 900 Mg and adding Zoloft. I am… read more
Parr no problem as we are talking about a lot of medicines here.
Hugs and enjoy your day
This includes the need for friendship or any type of relationship. No help no future goals no bucket list etc. Only thing I want is time to stop.. (not suicidal) physically can't achieve that.
I didn't have funtimes in my childhood.
I've noticed that sometimes I will get upset with someone without any reason to be upset. I was wondering if anyone else had felt this way, and how they handle it.
Yes !
Every joint, muscle, and tendon hurts. feels like I'm bruised all over. My neck my back my elbows wrists fingers hips knees even my toes ache. Is something else going on perhaps?
I know this feeling. I add stroke recovery and denial of physical therapy from my insurance and many but not most are like this
One thing I struggle with immensely is being able to feel/see beyond my current mood.
If im depressed I can't imagine ever being happy again.
When I'm happy I can't imagine/understand what I was thinking when I was depressed.
I can't see out of it when I'm in it!
Do others feel like this? Can you see beyond your mood? If so how???
Well said!
