I can't speak to the BiPolar, as I don't have it and have very little knowledge. But I would agree with Leed that having a mental illness is not a death sentence. Treatment can often be successful for whatever it is that is going on for you.
Is there anyone in your life who knows what you are going through? Is talking to your doctor an option? I hope you keep posting on here, and I'm glad you have found this site!

Welcome!
