Hey @Hippychick7878

Sorry to hear things are out of hand, glad you're here reaching out. Have you read our fact sheets on the conditions you are managing? Depression (sane.org) Anxiety disorder (sane.org) Bipolar disorder (sane.org)

Do you currently have support for your symptoms?

Re: Feeling lost and down

I'm sorry to hear you are feeling lost and down and I truly hope you can find your good place again soon.

Do you have any professional support like a psychologist atm?

I'm reading "Feeling Great" by David D Burns and it is a great self help book for good mental well-being based upon Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is easy to follow and has some practical ways to improve depressive episodes and relieve anxiety. I don't often find that "just" a book will make significant impact on it's own, but this one has certainly done that.

Keep talking in here too as there are heaps of helpful and kind folk.
