Sad

Hi @canofworms

Welcome to the forums.

I have a bipolar diagnosis as well. I do fear that this will be my life too. My team assure me that things will settle down when my meds are at a correct level.

Im sorry that you feel like a burden, empty and useless. I do hear you.

Do you have any supports?

Hi @canofworms
Thank you for sharing about what you're going through. A very warm welcome awaits you in these forums.

I know what it feels like to feel depressed, these thoughts you share is something I have battled with myself. It is so hard carrying the hard parts of our mental health everyday but it does get better. I am moving through what is an ongoing but recovering journey from my own mental health. It is possible to get better, and you deserve that.

You will meet many other forum members who can relate with what you are saying and I hope that it serves as a reminder that you are not alone 💗

Sending you someone else's story that they have shared to remind you that you can get through this 💛

I have so many hugs I am wanting to send your way 💛

Thanks for that story @fluffylight. It was really helpful

Hi @Captain24

I am glad it was helpful, you are so welcome 🙂

It sounds like you have a lot of mutuality and resonating experiences with @canofworms
I guess we really are not alone 💛

I am sending so much light to the both of you, you can get through this

Have a goodnight with Pix @Captain24 and hoping you feel better, you deserve it.

Sorry to hear about your sadness and hoplessness, @canofworms 😢

Do you have a psychologist or counsellor to talk through things with?

You can also type "bipolar" onto the Search bar above to find threads on that topic if you want.

hey @Captain24 thanks for your response. My family is my support network and they’re currently overseas on a trip and won’t be back for a few more weeks.

I feel frustrated that I can’t seem to function without them and I don’t want them to worry.

@fluffylight thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing that story. I have no one else in my life that struggles with mental illness so it’s good to see representation and to not feel so alone.

Thank you again for your kindness

@NatureLover thanks for your response. I do see a psychologist but currently it’s hard to get appointments as often as I would like. I don’t see a counsellor but maybe that’s something I should look into.
