I hate bipolar. I hate the feeling of slipping, of knowing a crash is coming, but not knowing exactly when or how hard the crash is going to be.

I've been walking around for a week now with tears coursing down my cheeks. I'll get through this, I know I will. There are good moments even during these bad days, so I grab for them.

I know this is a lot of grief still coming back to me, and that I will continue to grieve so long as I grieve. I do not know when it will be better.

It's said that time heals all wounds. When?? How long must I wait??

But....dammit....quit ambushing me, bipolar!!!!

You just expressed exactly how I feel! My bipolar has robbed me of almost everything...so much grief.

It's a life long journey All we (I have BPD and a question mark over BP) can do is learn to cope with it best we can. It is hard, so hard and no we didn't ask for it but we have it so just try and hold onto the fact it will pass and you will be able to cope better with a little time.

I have been diagnosed since June. I keep on being told that I will be able to overcome the diagnoses and learn to live with it. But I just don't see that I hate the drugs, I hate that I am not able to mentally function at 100%. I scream at god everyday just why he would do this to people. I am right there with you, you are not alone.

None of us asked for this. None of us deserve it. **** happens. It's up to you to live your life as best you can. Get a good therapist. You can try to cope without medication, but if you look around the forum, you'll see the wreckage of those who tried it and failed. Then again, there are a few who manage it. The alternative is to take the meds, work with your doctor to get them right, and understand that the side effects are still better than ruining your life or killing yourself.

Just my $.0.02.
