I'm pretty unhappy with my life. I have everything in my life that a person would want but I'm still unhappy. I have a car, a job, some friends, a family, I'm going to school, I have money, a high school diploma, a beach condo in Turkey that I can go to every summer and some other things. It mainly bothers me that I'm bipolar. I need to accept that I'm bipolar. I've been really depressed for the last month or so. I almost hurt myself on Monday. I've been depressed because my psychiatrist had a stroke and now I get depressed for no reason sometimes. I think my meds are off. I really hope I can find the right med combo. I'm also unhappy because I had a severe nervous breakdown 9 months ago. I guess I'm not over. It was really traumatic. I also think really negatively.

I want ways to be happy. What can I do to be happier?
