What a bipolar should do ?

Well I have been depressed my whole life and now I am bipolar. Why these things always choose me..my loved ones are afraid of me now. I am agressive, I threat , i shout i overreact. sometimes I hate everyone but the very next moment i apologize. No one understands. Everyone is leaving.they are tired of me now. Ofcourse not their fault. Why would anyone tolerate such a person. Nobody wants such burden. People tried to be with me and now they are leaving. I am all on my own and i dont know where to start. How to cure it. Cant afford a pcychologist right now. What to do?

Sorry to hear that you had to go through that...Please don't blame yourself for what people do,they have their own needs and minds.If someone is not willing to learn about what you are dealing with,and support you,then they don't deserve you.Some people prefer to not talk about mental health or personal problems.Recovery is painful,and those people will just make it hard for you.Self help books might help,they usually focus on changing the way you think and teach coping ways(I strongly recommend David Burns' books)But you'll probably need professional help.I don't know about your country,we have free health care here.Is it possible for you to find a counsellor for free?Or perhaps an online counsellor?

@Mugin16: yeah I agree . They deserve to be happy. I am not mad at them for leaving. I AM mad at myself for pushing them away

@Mugin16: Hmm,you could be right.I am just mad at people who don't listen or research about it before speaking

There is no cure though--it's kinda with you for a long time until your symptoms recede with the help of treatment/medication :( I struggle with being bipolar too so I can sort of relate to you. If you don't have the means for professional help though, I would suggest googling a list of coping mechanisms for anger ! I like to write in a journal, or write notes on my phone, vent to someone without being overbearing, etc. there's a lot of stuff you could do that you probably wouldnt think of! and besides doing that, i think you should completely rectify your actions with the people that left. they aren't required to forgive you but it may clear your conscience a little bit? good luck ♡

@honeyfemme: That's good advice.

@honeyfemme: hey thanks for your advice. I will try that but I dont know if that gonna work or not.
And I have apologized a thousand times. After every breakdown. I will do that again after I am better. Otherwise it's of no use.

That is a very bad and tough situation. Tell your loved ones that you have been diagnosed with Bipolar Personality Disorder. Ask them to do research about it or tell them about it. They need to know or otherwise they will all withdraw from you.

I feel for you.

@Mugin16: i told them. People just can't get it. They just say. Be happy. Dont think. And you will be fine. I mean this is not how things work

@Juliet22: I know that it does not work. If you are depressed and bipolar you cannot simply be happy just like that. I wish you lots of strength, patience and luck!

you can go to an ER and say you might be a danger to yourself or others
they will baker act you for 72 hours for evaluation ,but they also might give you some Psych tests and come up with some meds that can help you ,
you can also ask to see the social worker and he or she may be able to help you get further assistance
and in a case like that they won't turn you away for lack of funds
its an idea ,and they will get to you right away

@rckt148: what is an ER . I dont know. Well I am saving for my visit to psychologist. Maybe I get help soon.

rckt148 · 61-69, M

@Juliet22: ER is an emergency room ,
they take people saying the are going to harm themselves seriously ,
and then at least the Doctors can evaluate you ,a few people I told to do this did ,the social worker helped them get all kinds of stuff that got them on their feet and able to do for themselves again ,when they couldn't do anything but sleep and eat prior to that
