When they talk of statistics on bipolar and suicide, I know why its high now. Somethin like 20% - 1 in 5 will kill ourselves.

What's the point of goign through these cycles that just return to crush you again?
Oh wow.. you just summed up exactly how I am feeling right now. And I know my feeling is off because I'm either coming down from an episode, in the middle of one or gosh knows what else. I've also been off all meds for a few months now (well except valium and self medicating)

Can totally relate which probably doesn't help at all but I'm 29 almost 30, no job currently but still with a hope that things can change, eventually. I guess if we don't have hope then we don't have anything. And if I still have some hope after all the years of depression/anxiety/bipolar eventually came out then yeah.. it's something.

Was talking about the suicide rate earlier actually, it's damn scary but I can see why. I hope things have improved for you or do soon.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
