Maybe this should be in bipolar...but, it's going too fast. I only got a tiny break from the crying and the depression. It's back...want to cry and cry - can't cry. Feels like - you know how it feels when you sit on your foot too long and it "goes to sleep" from lack of circulation - my whole body feels that way. No changes in circumstances...going to a NAMI meeting thursday night, but that's so far away. feel myself sliding ...down...mad at everyone...mad at self. I can't win, so what's the point?

That's familiar, although I suspect your experience is much more intense than mine.

Englishteacher, what is the "win" you are hoping for?

Rohag, winning would mean being functional and dealing with problems in a rational manner, which is not tainted by guilt. winning would be (as selfish as this sounds) somone taking care of me for a while. winning could mean a lot of things to me. I can't win just seemed like the right way to express that no matter what I try, I seem to fail.

Thanks hippie...things are...well, confusing. My husband came home last night shaking and in tears. I spent most of the evening trying to calm him down. Long story short, the stress of our life is getting to him. I broke him, so now I have to fix him somehow. The only way I know to fix him is to shove all my crap down and be "happy" so that he'll feel safer. It's not the best answer, but it's the only answer I really know.
