Hello Everyone

I have bipolar 1 w/ anxiety. My brother is my only living family member that I am close to. My parents have passed on.

My brother is tired and burnt out and doesn't want to be in a "caring role" for me anymore. He says that he doesn't desire my company either. He wants only e-mail communication.

I am beside myself with grief and disbelief that I have been disowned by my brother. I only have a FEW family friends and doctors to count on for support. It feels as though he has died but he is still here. I have school starting soon and I need to be healthy by then.

To lessen the emotional pain I have been taking sleeping pills during the day (not going outside or driving). I sleep most of the day away and when I am awake I feel that I am in shock.

Can anyone relate to how I am feeling or this situation I am going through?

How do I get beyond the sadness?shock?grief?

Sincerely,

Zen
