when I'm base line or elevated mood everything is just so simple and easy. When I'm depressed I forget the code to make everything work. I'm alone and crying. I'm not depressed because I'm lonely, I'm lonely because I'm depressed.

I push and pull people until they just break clean from me.

Loneliness and depression seem to go hand in hand. When i'm depressed i just want to hide from everyone, but at the same time i'll feel totally isolated and alienated.

You can't push and pull the people here too much. Maybe talking to us will help you not feel so alone.

It works both ways for me. I get depressed because I'm lonely. I get lonely because I'm depressed. It's a vicious circle...

Absolutely. I just found myself going through this the last few days. In the morning isolating and keeping people at bay then by the evening being so lonely and depressed I didn't know what to do.

People just get tired of it after awhile and fall off. Can't blame them

I know that feeling all too well. When I'm in my up phase I have no trouble at all making friends and being social and even getting close to people. But then the depression hits and I instantly shut down and push my friends and loved ones away. I've lost several friendships because of this. I'm grateful that my very best friend's mother is bipolar, so she knows the struggles and stays by me.

I can totally relate. I can't even keep people in an up phase because I over share, can't shut up, move too fast for almost everyone, and do crazy stupid ****... The only reason anyone sticks around then is because it's fun. When I'm down I shut everyone out, sometimes because I'm convinced they hate me, sometimes because I don't wanna subject them to my ****, sometimes because I'm just not up for it. It sucks. Almost everybody leaves me too. I'm lucky my boyfriend is bipolar, but then again... Lol

I'm realizing how difficult relationships are for me also! I live in a small house with my wife and two little daughters and sometimes I hate it! I need space, I'm impatient, I'm easily irritated, and sometimes I think I am just horrible to be around.

I find the worst part is the self awareness that I know I am doing it yet am totally unable to stop it or turn it around. in fact the harder I try to stop the pushing and pulling the worse it gets. And heaven help the poor soal I try to explain my actions too.......
