I just joined this group, why? Well I need people to communicate with that have the same struggles in the ever so hard daily hustle and bustle... I've been Diagnosed with Bipolar when I was 13 years old I'm 27 now and I’ve finally figured out damn this really isn't going away is it? Denial, booze, sex and sleep has hidden me from reality which I cannot escape...I hate myself and the weather and so fourth. I want that happiness I see all around me that face of success, I want the gold they posses. I'm a musician and a ok one at that I would love to succeed at my dreams but the alcohol, the distractions and my 3am temper tantrums are out of control...I have no medical insurance and I live in a very expensive area of California... I have a hard time communicating with people and only do so with sarcasm or notes from an instrument my social skills are totally wack...people just think I’m really funny but In reality I’m just out there and maybe drunk at the time or on mushrooms( my choice of drug)...

What does one do, jump off that golden gate bridge or continue to act inappropriate to people and myself??????

you seek out help, either at a private doctors, which being unemployed at the moment and not having insurance is going to be hard to do, or you look in your phone book for the nearest mental health clinic, where they can access you and get you the treatment that you need, also never give up, with the proper treatment and guidance you can become a successful functioning member of society.

You do not have to do this on your own. Jumping off the Golden Gate really isn't that good of idea, should you survive the jump, you could end up in a wheelchair or worse.

Educate yourself about your illness, seek out the treatment that you need, check out the favorite link post that I sent in recently, that will give you different sites that you can check out, just don't try to take it all in at once or you could suffer information overload. If you are seriously considering the bridge, take yourself to the nearest emergency room, they can help you.

Remember your not alone in this struggle, we are here for you, vent, cry, ask for information etc. You'll find all kinds of posts available for your reading pleasure here on this site.

Hi,

Welcome to our site, and I would suggest you seek help, too. Self medicating is not good, either. Thare are a few good Alcahol, and drug treatment facilities near you, and there are a lot of mental health clinics near you.I used to live in that area. It could be dangerous to live like you have been. I lived like thet for about 20 years. I finally got sooo bad, I almost went to prison, and was very suicidal. I hope you keep us updated on your situation. There are alot of good sites on line with info on the symptoms, and treatments on Bipolar, too. God bless, Gypsy
