Iam at work now and like you said diffrent person - always somebody els with diffrent people - I want to stop pretending lying!

want to go home now and cry and just sleep everything away - just be me for a couple of hours - want to sleep and sleep - but I cant my parents wont understand nobody would understand - i got a really good job - pays well - in the insurance business and doing well but its just so hard on me. my parents dont understand - one of the bi polars in our town is a lawyer and his coping and his job is much more stressful than mine so they expect me just to cope!!!

No dear it is not better if you die, that isn't going to solve what is going on and will just cause more pain.. coping with this illness when it is not being properly treated is a very hard thing to do, if you look at the lawyer person, odds are he is getting the right treatment, or he is doing what you are doing, being one person in public, and another at home, no one sees behind his doors..it's hard on you when you find yourself in a position that you just want to reveal what is going on but you can't because of others, no one would have understood what I was going through, they could see the sleeping, they could see when I would lose it and blast someone, I was just considered lazy and a bitch.. I'm neither, I was untreated, severely depressed, and suffering from hypomania's, you need to call your doctor and get a appointment asap.. with your wanting to sleep all the time sounds like major depression, and that could be causing your feelings.

Remember honey, this is a illness that no one can see, they don't have a clue as to what is going on with us, we don't look sick, but we are.. Please get some help, you don't have to live like this..

Stephi what your describing about your spending and lying habits sounds just like me. Although I'm not working know I've had many good jobs, even owned a few of my own company's, but have never in my life been able to trust myself with money or credit. When I make any money at all I want to immediately give it to someone else for fear I will spend it either on Drugs or something I really think I need. I also lie to almost everyone about my finances, like my father and my mother, The only person I feel I can be and am completely honest about money is my wife. I give all my money to her, but then I need this and that and I'm constantly asking her for money to the point that I feel like a little kid always begging mommy for money. My wife loves me very much, and I her, but she gives in to my wants and desires way to easily, so unfortunately for us, me giving my money to her ends up hurting us in the long run because she gives in. Now I feel like I'm blaming my wife for my problems, how whacked is that?

You don't want to die , You want to LIVE) , You want to have peace and joy. Stephi, to be quite honest with you if it weren't for the fact that within 5 minuets of signing on to the group page you welcomed me and then went out of your way to extend your friendship to me, I would have closed the window and never come back to the site. Your kindness and willingness to befriend me made me very happy that early AM. You are a wonderful person. I dubbed you my sunny gal from South Africa, and no matter what you think others think about you the odds are you are way off base. We (bipolar s) tend to be overly critical of ourselves and judge ourselves more harshly than most others judge us. Give yourself a break sweetie, Your fine, I'm fine. We are just crazy in the frickin head. Big deal. Everyone has something wrong with them. Nobody has all the answers and nobody is even remotely close to being perfect. You are you. You are unique. You are my friend and I need you. Take a chill pill and call me in the morning.
