It is very hard for me- to explain to people that I am depressed when I am not crying.

It is very hard for me- to explain why I can't see you or go in public or get out of bed

It is very hard for me- to explain that I can't think my way out of it

It is very hard for me- to do the most basic of chores, let alone hobbies or interests

What is hard for you?

All of those!

It's hard for me to explain to my husband. He just does not get it until I am at full break down point. Until then everything is fine.

It is hard for me to keep obligations to meet friends. So then I don't see them and wonder why I have no friends or support.

It's hard not to scream at people who say "it's just the blues, snap out of it"

I was super manic last night and my husband was all, " Damn, your acting so crazy". I told him I've been telling you that for awhile. He acted shocked and then said, " I don't know how you get through the day." He even told me I was too young to be ' Alzheimered out'. I feel so alone right now

I'm sorry that any of us feel this way. But sympathy or empathy won't change our situation. Some days, well most days actually I don't even feel like getting out of bed but at some point something forces me too. whether it be work or a social obligation.

It's hard that my brother sends an email after two years demanding that I get over it because his kids deserve an uncle from his side of the family because I can't.

It's hard to remember that however good or normal you might feel, you're always just a trigger away from an illness than can undo you, right through the medication.

It's hard to explain without disclosing (and don't feel safe to) why you can't do something and have big guilt issues about disappointing people. But you know that it would send you over the edge. And the discomfort of hearing them suggest you'll be all good soon, when you know it's something that's not just going to go away.

it is very hard for me to see the positive things in life when i suffer so much daily.

it is very hard for me to try and explain how i'm feeling, then have it shoved back in my face because people just don't want to know.

it is very hard for me to go for more than a day without any type of self harm, because i've come to depend on it

it is very hard for me to see people enjoying themselves and getting on with life

it is very hard for me to find something constructive to do at night time when i simply can't sleep

it is very hard for me to get through the days, when i'm doing the worst

oh more

it is very hard to accept compliments from people who perhaps mean well, but i can't see it

it is very hard for me to accept that my own family (people who should be able to turn to) treat me horribly because i'm ill

I think it does change our situation in a sense. It makes me feel less isolated and "freakish" to know that other people are going through the same problems. A little less anxiety, to me, often equals a little more confidence and desire to work on my problems.

I see that I have wandered into the Bipolar thread again by accident through using "new posts". Oops.

It's hard making important decisions about my life when I don't trust myself.

It's hard just getting through the days.
