I Am Bipolar

I was diagnosed recently, I don't know I guess I am glad to finally have a name for this but it's so hard feeling so alone. My biggest feeling is loneliness, I'll really try to make it in the long run but it's just so hard sometimes, when I let the loneliness and despair get the best of me. I know it's all my fault, too, I'm so good at pushing people away so it's natural to not be super close to anybody.

i understand completely..and it is nice to finally put a name with what you're feeling and experiencing..people tell me all the time now that I should get the doctor to prescribe something for it, but for me, there is no way I'm putting that crap in my body. Part of my issues are due to my wife, which doesn't really help...I've discovered that many times, she is the trigger to an episode..my solution has resorted to going to my mancave and sleeping it off...sometimes for hours, sometimes for days..It is my hope that you find a way to live with this condition and that your family and friends understand that it's not something you can just "snap out of"...be kind to yourself and be patient..in time you will learn what you need to do to cope..be thankful you discovered this at an early age, it took me 61 years to discover it!!
