Something’s not right

Self Pity Party

Self Pity Party

Is it bad we have self pity days? Like yes I got a mental illness but there are kids staving so do I have the rights to go argh life is not fair?

I'm just having one of those teary weeks. I'm feeling not right. I feel my new medication is working but my mania is coming in hard and is testing my medication and I don't think my medication is going to hold out.

Then I started thinking what if it dosent. I'm going to be sick again and not be able to work or life. Then I started thinking what will people think of me. Then I started thinking well what do people think of bipolar. So now I believe they think I'm purely crazy that's tempomental and you need to walk around egg shells on other wise they will set me off and I'll go into the loony bin. I'm just the nut in the family they discus to others when they discus the crazy person in the family to friends.

And I feel at work they know I'm sick and just think of me as weird. The strange one. I can't communicate or get in the flow with people there.

Literally thinking about quitting my job going on the dole and just become my illness. What's the point of trying to fight it I'm just crazy.

Hi @Former-Member

I was just replying to your last message and saw you going through an awful time with your urges. You struggling to feel connected and relaxed and able to breath deeply?

@Former-Member
Hi, Just like any illness, Depression is an imbalance of Chemicals in the brain. These imbalanced Chemicals, cause many problems in our brain, & our body.
Just the same as if you put the wrong petrol in a car, the car will not work properly, or the way it would work if it had the correct petrol in it to make it move.
Our body is driven by our brain, & the choices we make in our mind/thinking.
Imbalanced Chemicals are going to send our thinking off track, our emotions are going to be all over the place, & our body part may start to show signs of being effected by all malfunctioning nerves & confusion, as the electrical currents get the wrong signals?
If you have an existing injury, or condition in your body it will be attacked first as its not as strong as the rest of your body. I get shocking body pain when depressed/stressed, as I have a lot of body damage from a serious accident I had. Also unbearable sinus pain, when upset/depressed, because my nose is broken.

I hope the way I explained what I know, is informative for you, & helps you?
I tried to describe it in a basic way, as I don't like complex myself?
Love & Hugs
Bella 🙂

Re: Self Pity Party

@Former-Member I haven't breathed deeply since I was a kid lol. I'm non stop shallow breathing panic attack and I've been through many types of meditation through professionals to help me breath and I get worse so they are like wow we are not going back there.

Yes just zero connected to the world. I feel like an alien watching people. I had a customer Scream at us saying she's a doctor and I'm just like who cares what you are but it dose my head in people feel it's ok to look down at others. Like the words don't effect me at all. Call me what ever I'll laugh it off. It just upsets me black hearts live in this world. Dose that make sense?

Hey @outlander just my Bipolar. I cycle. Its just part of my illness. I can have nothing go wrong and have the best day and want to SH and be depressed.

@Former-Member thank you but I 100% understand how depression works. Not trying to be rude and I know your helping but the next person that try's to tell me how it works I'm going to scream at. I find it being talked down to like I'm an idiot. I even death stare my doctor when he goes on about the conversation of depression is like any illness that needs treatment. Look at asthma that have puffers nothing to be ashamed off so you shouldn't be ashamed. I'm just like shut up!

No ive never had physical injury as well so I doubt that theory isn't why we or myself feel pain. Thank you any way xxxx

Re: Self Pity Party

hi @Former-Member how are you doing today

Re: Self Pity Party

@outlander just the same. I got a small week at work and I have organised to go out for drinks with girls from the work and now it's gotten really big and the mean girls are going so I'm going to get my hubby to sit at the bar next door so if I hate it I can escape and drink with him.

I've noticed my new medication is making me fat. It's like come on my head is a mess at least let me keep my body. Am I asking to much? Sometimes I think I might go back and study and creat pills for us that work with no weight gain and foggness. And also do liquid form for the ones that can't swallow tablets like me as breaking them tastes bad!!!!
