To combat the thoughts, get busy, get out, invite friends over. Don't be alone. Being alone gives the mind time to wonder back into the place you don't want to be.

There is someone here to talk to at about any time of the day. Come here and talk it will help. Ask questions, make comments, vent, and make friends. There is also a daily thread called Anyone Awake in the Bipolar Longe portion of this forum. There are always people in there talking on any given subject bipolar or not.

God Bless

I am sorry you are having a rough day.I have been going through those rough days lately, too. I have learned to use my support system. It's good to have friends, and case workers, and therapists to help me get through this.My meds are off, too. When I am in the this predicament, I tend to get depressed, and start harping on myself.

Going through a break up doesn't help, either. It would probably be good to take steps to pull yourself out of that mess. Start thinking about all the positives about the break up. Maybe, write down all the good things, you have in your life. Maybe write down all the things you could do. Rearrange the house. Throw out all the things that remind you of him. Put in new things, that make you happy.

Give yourself a limitted time to grieve, and then start living for you. Fill the emptyness with good things.

When my ex left me, I was so relieved to not have his baggage in my life, anymore. I didn't have to fight with someone over where a piece of furniture should go. Hang in there . It will pass.

i often feel alone in this world like i'm floating in a space that no one else is. in like a strange alternate dimension where the colors are duller, the music fainter, flowers don't smell and i never truely connect with other people. but strangely too i feel like thats when i see the world for what it really is - cuz i'm not distracted by it's noise and colors. those are the times when i feel most like myself. and the other times when i'm "in" the world - thats when i'm fake.

i don't know if that makes any sense. . .

i did take my meds on time tonight and i am feeling full and drowsy so i am going to try to sleep. i think that it would be good if i could.

thanks again - i feel a little bit more protected here - like this site is a safe place to let it go. . .

good night

This is a great place to be yourself. I am glad you are here.

P.S. No drinking, alchol and meds don't mix!
