 I know how you feel. I have been batteling with a low for several weeks now. my pdoc seems to be no help at the moment. I currently don't have insurance and I can't see spending 200 dollars to go in and see her just to tell me the same crap she tells me over and over. God, its so easy to just lay in bed and hide from everything. I just started a new job about 3 weeks ago and all I do is sit in my office with the door shut and cry. My co-workers must think I am some sort of basketcase. I am driving my husband crazy with the constant lows and know it is just a matter of time before it pushes him over the edge. I had a severe manic episode back in January and things have not been the same between us ever since. He won't trust me and the pressure from that is weighing on me. Im not really sure why I just started venting on this but I just feel so overwhelmed like there is no way out. Sometimes I wish I was just able to step out of myself and look at my disease from another persons point of view. I am so afraid of what I may do to myself, lately I just feel it would be so much easier just to end it rather than continue to deal with this disease. I don't even know who I am anymore.

 magic and nicangel-i'm so sorry you're both feeling so depressed and hopeless. that is just the worst feeling. i'm worried for both of you because you both mention, in one way or another, feeling like you don't belong in this world or it would be better off without you.

NOT TRUE! you're here for a reason, it's just so hard to see when you're at the bottom. do either of you think you might need to go to the hospital? there have been times when my depression has been bad enough that the hospital is the only answer. if that's true for you, don't feel badly. you need help and you deserve it.

please let us know if there's anything we can do to help in any way.

remember: YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

Well behaved women rarely make history.

Thou canst not disturb a flower without the troubling of a star...from "Troubling a Star", by Madelaine L'Engle...we all affect one another by our words and actions...it is our choice whether to do so purposefully and positively, or carelessly and hurtfully...may we all bring to one another the peace that we seek...

 Magic, I hit a bad point in January. I have been diagnosed bipolar for about 13 years now and never had a manic episode like I had in January. I left my house, my husband and my job, went and stayed from one place to another, went out drinking every night and even had a n affair. When I finally found myself again, it was hard seeing all the distruction I had done to myself and my husband just in a matter of weeks. I know this is what is causing my low I am in now. I don't even remember half the things I did. My husband does not trust me to be alone, go to the store or even go to work without him around. I don't blame him but it is a real bust to your ego, and I hate that he feels he can't trust me. The guilt is what is causing my current depression. I have a very supportive family and they have been with me through out this. I feel a little better over the last few days. I appreciate all the support I have been getting from the others on here and if you need to talk send me a PM. I am here for you and it does help to talk about things. Please if you need to talk, I am here. So are the others on this forum. Hang in there!!
