I was previously diagnosed with depression. 5 years ago I was finally diagnosed "major depressive/bipolar". I spent a week in out-patient on suicide watch. I am on meds and go to "talk" therapy. I still don't feel human. Is there any hope? I want to be "normal" and I'm not sure just what that is anymore. Life is confusing.

There is most definitely hope, especially now that you are getting help.
What do you mean when you say that you "still don't feel human"? What aspects of your treatment have helped? What are you still unsatisfied with? It can take years, if not decades, to reach a stable quality of life with BP. The fight is very much worth it. Hang in there and talk to us. We are here for you. - Allie |

Normal is what you make of it. Remember that it is a good thing to get properly diagnosed. Now you can concentrate on being well. Therapy is a really good thing. Try not to be too hard on yr self. Life is confusing but getting to really know yr self is important. Try and be positive when everything seems to be falling apart. There is alot of hope. I have bp2, bpd, depression, anxiety and.ptsd. I have a good life although the depression can kick me in the ***. Not all is lost. It's great that you have two sons. Love then with all yr heart. All will fall into place. Just roll with it and you'll be ok. :-)

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