What happens when all of your dreams have been shattered numerous times so you always try to put the pieces back together, create new dreams, just to do it all over again. Finally, there are no dreams left. Going through the motions is all that's left with no reason or meaning to exist.

I struggle with meaninglessness too. I have built my life up, and destroyed it, and built it up and destroyed it several times. Right now i'm in a building it up phase, but i worry that my illness is a time bomb, and i will do something to screw it all up again. It is really frustrating because it all seems so senseless. So i'm trying to find meaning in what has happened. What is helping me is helping other people. My experiences have made me more compassionate and attuned to other people's pain, and help me know what to say or do when they are in despair. So i work in mental health, and try to help. It is much easier to help others with their problems than to fix my own. I don't have any answers, but i am around to listen. Maybe you can find something positive in your struggles top.

Not sure. Feeling exactly the same way. I just get tired of fighting it, hiding it and living it. Some days I just don't have the strength, you know?

Funny you work in mental Health. I was a psych nurse for many years and I've had a hellish last 3 years. At this point I don't know if I could ever go back to Mental Health. I'd love to help others but don't have the confidence. Maybe that's just where I am in my illness. I'm at the having to build myself up again stage

I do wonder about this a lot. Does it get better. I mean is there a point where it slows down. I was 29 when diagnosed im 35 and in 6 years I have destroyed my life 3 times. I don't ever intentionally hurt others but everyone in my life has been affected by my bipolar especially my kids exhusband and my current boyfriend. I often wonder if I should be close to people bc I can leave a path of destruction?

It's all of us. I am beginning to ponder this. Do we thrive on the new, and when it gets old and boring, we self destroy? I think that's what I do.
