my name is Dee and i have bipolar.
When depressed i sleep 16 hours a day sometimes. I feel hopeless and ugly that there is not end in sight. I don't do the things I love to do. Like singing swimming playing with my 6 year old going out to the bar with friends. I just want to stay on my computer all the time. I cry allot for no reason. It helps to have a doctor that I like and trust. I can talk to him and he can adjust my medication. Last night i was so upset because I was turned down for a date on a dating sight. I talked to my 18 year old brother and played a video game with him. he cheered me up what is family for. I tried to kill myself once but because of my little girl i chose not to act on those thoughts anymore. I talk to someone anyone I am on face book and have lots of friends that will talk to me and cheer me up. I thank everyone of my friends and family for helping me with this illness.
when manic its like thoughts are going threw my head like a train without brakes. I can't sleep and don't eat much when I am manic.
But there is help out there for people with mental illness don't give up. There are mental health groups and Cousaler's too. there are also many medications for bipolar. Remember we are fighters and we can fight mental illness. If you are down or have bipolar I am always on line I also have face book just send me a private message and I will get back to you. i also have yahoo and hot mail messenger names.
Hang in there I understand you completely.
