Are you able to find anything to distract your mind? Music ? Meditation? Mindfulness? Bipolar is shifty, moods and feels can turn on a dime ..

Stay safe

being dead aint all that.

BEing aLive can be hard, but it can also be exciting and amazing.

Your mood will eventually spring up, and you will move on with your life. It gets better! You are just at a really low point right now, rock bottom, its only UP from here!

Hello. I know that feeling very well. I felt that way nearly every day for years. I am so sorry you are going through this. I know that when you feel depressed that life can seem very bleak, but life can and will get better- it takes time, but I promise you that one day you will feel happy again. I hope things get better for you.

I've been there soooo many times. Sometimes life sucks. But just keep breathing and eventually it gets better. It's a roller coaster, I know.

Someone on this forum said, don't think in days, think in hours.

Meaning just make it through the next hour

..then I know I can handle the next..and the next

And it all makes so much sense to me

There is a reason you are on this earth. Life is full of ups and downs, and sometimes more downs than ups. You just have to take on day at a time and distract yourself

If was only that simple. See, I had problems since I was young, but doctor care was not something I did not have growing up unless it was an absolute emergency. So I've lived my adult life the same way. During that time, what should have been a life was nothing more than surviving, never able to jump on the merry go round of "happy and memorable" life. Having said that, now I sit and realize why, and I realize that there really is no legitimate reason to be alive. It's caught up with me.

The lyrics to Metallica - "One" probably would explain it much better than I can.

If you were not so focused in the past, taking care of yourself would be much easier.

Well, let me blow your wig off with this one. I'm not really focusing on the past, not in my mind so to speak. There is no future for me. If you anything about American History, back in the day when this country built the railroads, when a man got sick, he stuck it out until he died, and then they dug a hole and buried them right next to the tracks. I'm an ole blue collar worker at heart and soul. I worked my *** off and never had time to take care of myself. Now I unable to work at the moment, so what I really want is my hole to be dug because I'm ready for it.

Lmciyah, that's the depression talking. And your past. A lot of us grew up in "survivor mode". It doesn't have to be this way. You're an adult now. You can take control.

When I'm this down, I try to remind myself of the wonderful moments in my life, both big and small. My daughter being born. Smelling a rose. Things that I would miss if I wasn't here. There may be crap days, but there are also good experiences too.

You're more than your job. Just because you're not working does not mean that you are worthless and deserve to go in a hole.

Take good care of yourself.

Well put sarahblue.

I certainly grew up in "survivor mode" and that's part the problem now.

Lmciyah, that's the depression talking. And your past.

I agree with this. IMO changing this may take time and allot of effort to move past "survivor" mode of thinking..

I'm on the OP's train right now. I'm sick of breathing, sick of looking out the window, sick of inane crap on TV. Life ain't worth it.
