Hi I am new here. I feel as though i have no purpose in life. I have depression and bi-polar. I am turning 50 this year and I look back at my life and it seems as though, I did nothing. My bipolar and depression started when I hit puberty. I see that now. I just started taking medication about 10 years ago after being hospitalized twice with conversion disorder and a suicide attempt. I did alot of bad things when i was in my 20s and 30s. I drank, did drugs, stole, scammed, and lied. I turned my life around when I was 40. I had just being diagnosed with ovarian cancer and decided i better change to live. ANYways, the past few months I'm starting to feel really really depressed. I did go back to the Catholic Church and recd my confirmation and communion last year by going to classes. I thought that might work, but it hasnt. any ideas anybody?

Do you still take your medication? Did it work when you started to take it? It is possible that you have to change medications or raise the dosage. You should talk to your doc, if you haven't done so yet.
