[bipolar2007]

The past couple of weeks have been difficult. My stress level has been high and today it reached the breaking point. I have been bipolar since 2007 and I have done a very good job managing stress and everyday issues. Today was a breaking point and I broke done crying mostly because of my anxiety. I am anxious almost everyday and have been getting by. Today was different, I snapped.

I am posting because I need to tell my story to others who will listen. It is not that others won't listen, but I don't share my experiences with others as often as I should. Part of me feels that if I share how I feel then I will be viewed as weak .... I am not weak.

Thanks for listening

I have reached my breaking point too. My car accident did not help. I need a break badly. I feel so old. I cried last night for the first time in decades. I do not know what to do except bear it out until I have a break from all of this,

So, what I am saying is that you are not alone. We will both get through this difficult time. I just know it! Hang in there!

PS: We are both not weak. We are survivors! And we will succeed!

Hi bipolar,

I completely hear you, I understand.

I can suffer from excrutiating anxiety with my bp.

It's uncomfortable and extremely unpleasant.

I'm always here to listen.

Take care.
