I've been thinking a lot about the future, and I've realized I am only 21 and am already exhausted by life. Everyday I wake up I wonder what issues I will have that day. My diagnosis is constantly changing, and every time I seem to finally find some peace with my mental illness something new happens challenging my perseverance. It's hard to think about the future, a better time perhaps, when you know that mental illness is a constant in your life.

I was totally and completely consumed by my mental issues.
It got to the point of not being able to eat or sleep for 4-6 days at a time. I finally drew the line, and decided to give medication a try. It took me quite a few failed attempts, but once you find a medplan that works for you and can get your life back on track, it's a great feeling.

I agree with jd, have you tried meds? If not try them and don't give up after you fail a few times its gonna happen but once you find that right combo it's a great thing.

Finding the right med or combo of meds is essential. I do believe that acceptance of your illness whatever that may be is necessary to help you move forward and learn ways to cope and allow you to have a life. Once you are feeling better mental illness will no longer consume every waking moment.
Hang in there

Life can seem just to hard when your a bit depressed. Are you depressed? Even a mild depression can make you exhausted with life but it does get better. Work with your T to teach you greater resilience and how to react differently to the things that trigger you and with your pdoc to get the most out of your meds. Good luck and keep posting to let us know how you are going.

At this point, when you can't concentrate on the future don't, it's okay. Go day-by-day, My days consist of "Do something productive" time. If you can work that's great. If your trying to get to the point you can work that's great too. Don't really worry about the future to much, day by day is sometimes to stressful. I'm sorry your feeling this way.
