A little about me: Hello my name is Scott, I'm 45 years old have twin daughters that are grown and 3 step sons. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2001, but have known my whole life that something was wrong with me. I still know very little about the disorder and other than when I was feeling suicidal and admitted myself for observation I have not sought any psychiatric treatment. The drugs I take don't really do anything for me and I am at the point that I can't do anything! I can't sleep at night, I can't keep a job for more than a couple of months, I have strained relations with all of my kids, and it seems like with everyone else as well. I'm beside myself, I don't know what to do or who to see. HELP ME SOMEONE PLEASE!!!!

You can do it Scott, going to take a while for the meds to kick in and some therapy to understand what has been happening, and why, but you can..

I would look at myself when I would go off the deep end, and it was almost like I was looking at myself from the side lines and seeing what I was doing, I knew it wasn't the true me, but could not help it.. fighting it on my own was getting impossible..

I have faith in you, and now you need to have faith in yourself that you are on the road to better health an a better life..

My Diary
Diary Description: The NY Giants just pulled off the biggest upset of the season, and for the first time in months I truly enjoyed my evening sitting watching the game with my family. I even felt some happiness and caught myself smiling and it felt pretty good, at least for a few minutes. Real life starts again tomorrow though and I already feel myself sinking back into my depression. Why? Why can't I stay happy for more than 20 minutes.Why can't I just stay happy. I want to be happy. I want to be fixed, I want this nightmare to be over, I want to be normal and feel normal feelings and think normal thoughts.
