Hello everyone, recently my life has been hell. This year I have changed careers, moved, broken up with two boyfriends one 6 months long the other 3 years long, watched my house burn to the ground and watched my family try to survive from the fire and I have been been impatient once already for a med change. I've been depressed now for a month. I don't really know what to do about it anymore. Last night was the straw that broke the camels back. I probably would've been dead if it wasn't for my roommate. I don't know what to do anymore. My job is very rediculous in the sense that my co-workers talk smack about my illness to other people and tell me that " they like me better manic." I tried explaining to them what it is like being manic and yet they still throw it in my face every day that I am a bi polar freak. I'm very lathargic and on about seven different meds. I don't know what to do anymore. I go to therapy like I'm supposed to, I do my goal hopes for the day. I'm just so tired, so depressed and I just don't care for myself anymore. Someone please direct me to someone who has a clue because I am losing it.

You have gone through a lot in this past year. Try to take it easy on yourself. Your co-workers have no business discussing your illness in the workplace. Can you give your therapist a call and explain what is going on? Maybe you could use another med change. Do you have a p-doc?

I hope you begin to feel better.

I have been depressed the last month too, welcome to the club.

Are you an assertive person? You could say, 'I like ME fine just the way I am, thank you oh so much!!!!"

You could dig into their problems...."I like you when you're a respectful person...that'll be the day.."

I used to be un-assertive.....people walked ALL over me...and it is a HUGE stretch for me to come up with these one liners, such a challenge for me to slowly utter them..

But I do SOMEHOW..

................and this has made all the difference, my friend, it is called boundaries, asserting them, keep them up there....
