I don't have anyone to talk to regarding what I am feeling besides my therapist. It's getting increasingly harder and harder to start my days cause I feel so lonely and have so many feelings and thoughts pent up. Does any one else have problems making friends and are bipolar? Is this one of the nasty side effects of this illness?
I feel like my chest wants to explode with feelings of anger, anxiousness, suppression, and hopelessness. I do not know what to do with myself. I find it hard to work with all these thoughts going round and round inside my head. I really want to cry...sometimes just yell to get the feelings out. I feel so empty inside since I have no one to talk to. My family is non-existent, my boyfriend is just as bad off as me at times and doesn't understand. I need a friend...some one other than my therapist to talk to. If anyone just wants to talk during the work day, please let me know. golfti@gmail.com |

I have found it difficult to make friends because I am in a depression. This makes it tough to get up off the couch and out into the real world. I completely understand the hopelessness. Do you work? Are you on meds? Perhaps you need an adjustment to them.

I am on meds and I do work, full time. I get up off the couch, but I feel a real barrier when trying to connect with people, especially my own age. I don't quite fit in...I don't have kids, a house, or a family. I am not mean or odd looking, I don't think.
I feel super abandoned, especially at work. I don't fit in here either and I get left alone constantly. It bums me out especially because it's been like this all my life. My last job left me in a steel box with out windows all day. I go to my therapist on Thursday...I want her to adjust my meds because the Deprovex (sp?) is making me VERY nauseated and I am pretty sure it settled my mood into hopeless and manic. Plus the fuloxetine (sp?) is a joke too. |

It's good that you are seeing your T, getting the right meds can make all the difference. It took a long time to get mine fixed and I'm still not sure I am there. That combined with therapy has been very helpful. Hang in there!

Hi, ambitious_lemon. It's nice to meet you. Don't know if age matters but I'm 61. You can PM me during the work day. I'm generally available.
