I'm 57 and bipolar. The mania seems to be mostly gone from my life and I am left with the depression. It seems like no matter what self-help things I do or how many meds I take, I still feel weak and depressed. I let people down. I am on disability and just generally feel worthless.
My friend is the couch. I feel so weak and unable to really get up and go anywhere. If it weren't for my husband, kids, and friends, I think I'd just give up.
I started on Buspar a few weeks ago for anxiety. I do feel less anxious but feel so down. I worry that my life is going to be one downhill spiral and then I will disappear. I am a waste.
Thanks for reading. I just needed to talk.
