 I wish I knew why my parents had me. They knew this ran in the family. It is some kind of weird twisted big joke to see which one of their kids would have this.? I feel like going to their house and have them look in my face and ask them why they had me. I want that answer. I have been such a drag for everyone and now people at work see the real me..a big fat loser. Why?? There is nothing I can contribute to anything at all..just existing and dealing with this day in and day out. Why am I here? WHy? Some big joke huh?

 I feel that way a lot. Especially towards my father. He and my mom had me, then 1 yr later he divorced her. Of course the court placed me with my mother, who is bipolar but didn't know it at the time. Now that I am an adult my father just laughs when I tell him the craziness that my mom puts me through and says its not his problem. And I want to yell at him" you stupid man, you choose her not me. and you knew of her craziness even back when I was a baby." I get so angry that I am bipolar. That because of someone elses decision has made my life unbearable at times.I get soooooo angry that I can't see straight. But now I have come to the realization that this is me, and I don't have to be like the other women in my family that have bipolar. I have the advantage. I love me. This realization didn't come fast or easily but when it did it helped me deal with my bipolar. This is my disorder and I have the responsibility to manage it.

And you have contributed something in this world. You have helped me realize that I am not alone in my anger or frustration.

Blessings to you

BE BLESSED!

 Hi, it is rough being bi-polar, to this day no one admits it in my family to anyone having the illness, well, my Aunt on my Moms side. She moved away a long time ago. I didnt know till my mom died last year that she was ill with this too. I am 43 and I am the outcast of my family, the black sheep, the bad kid, yadda yadda yadda, I have been disowned......Dont give in to this illness, dont give up on yourself either. I know it can be so bad. But the people here are great. All of us here either have the illness, or has a close relative that does, or even both. You found a new family, and we are here for your Questions,your comfort and mostly your input, we are all valuable people, especially you!! Disease or not. Dont forget that!! Kelley hugs and blesses

 I got really angry about being bi-polar. It lasted a few weeks after I accepted the fact I am and there's nothing I can do to change it.

Now, I'm embracing the condition and find I have skills 'normal' people don't have which have been frust upon me by this condition and my strong will to cope and survive.

I probably will bet angry again about having it and frump and 'itch' about it, but I'll eventually come around again to the blessings which I'd never have had without it -like getting to know such kind and compassionate people on this site.

Hugs, beat a pillow to bits, hugs, cry, stomp, slam a door, hugs,hugs....

 See sweetie that's where you are soooooo wrong! God created you for a reason and exactly the way you are. Do something positive with your disorder and don't use it as a reason to feel that way...use it as a tool to help others even if it's here on this site! Everyone has a purpose my dear, try reading the book "The Purpose Driven Life" and you will see that regardless of everything else in our lives, we are all here for a reason. I know it's not easy but I do believe you would take comfort in helping others and it would make you feel worthwhile and you would be and ARE!!! Don't waste your energy blaming people, we only have one shot at this life, make it happen! You are an incredible person that lives with this everyday and that in and of itself is a triumph...you sell yourself short. Find a support group where you can lend a hand by way of using your experiences to help guide others in the right direction...self pity sweetie is a big waste of time, don't let you it control you, YOU MUST CONTROL IT, don't let it win by "it" managing your life, you must manage it...AND YOU CAN...keep talking to everyone here and know that you are a special person with a lot to offer so tell yourself that everyday and face each day with every ounce of energy that you have even if that is one minute at a time...set yourself small achievable goals and make them happen. I believe that if you try, ANYONE can do ANYTHING and that includes you. Take care!
