MDJunction to me

nvrsubtle"Not having any local Bipolar support groups where I live, MDJuntion has given me a place in which people understand what I am going through and has given me a new outlook on life with support that is real and good. Without
the support that I receive from MDJunction, I would be wandering through
life with no one who understands me. I owe so much to MDJunction for giving
me a life line to help get me through the toughest times.

this week I have been so manic and now I am really depressed and having suicidal thoughts. I'm just sick of everything. guess I am feeling sorry for myself. it just sounds good to not have to worry about meds and doctors any longer,if I didnt have kids, I wouldnt be on this earth.

Missy and Big J - Life can be better with the right meds. Really, medication is the key, at least for me.

Hold onto the thought that life will get better again. This too shall pass.

I remember thinking that when my son was quite young. That was before I was on meds. At the time I thought I couldn't go on with living I was so terribly depressed. Yes, having to deal with meds is sometimes hard, but they have saved my life.

But above that, life doesn't stay static. How you feel right now will not last. My depression lifted as my mania got under control. I hope you can be patient in the process of gaining stability. It will not always be like this. As Lisa said, this will not last.

If this does get worse, you need to call a suicide hot line where you can get the help you need or go right to a hospital. So if the feelings become more urgent, please do that. PM me if you want. I will be glad to talk with you.

Hi - I just feel hopeless...it's nothing new for me. thanks - you are really sweet. I've been depressed my entire life,even as a child. My parents didnt even attempt to help me. Atleast I feel better than I did 2 yrs ago. I just cant deal with the mania and depression. I feel like I did before I started taking any meds. oh well. thanks again.

Uppitywoman, thank you so much for that post. Even though I am not the OP, your words really reached me. Remembering that this will not last is a light at the end of the tunnel.
