Having a rough time

[jpsmith]

Hi all. My name is Jonathan and I have bipolar disorder. I struggle greatly with anxiety and depression and this has been going on for over a year. My symptoms get worse in the evening when I feel I have no one to talk to. I had a counseling appointment today but that didn’t help much. I am going to be doing TMS coming up soon and am nervous about that. I’m going to be going to Pittsburgh to stay at my moms during the course of the treatment and am anxious about that too. I just want to feel better and feel like I’m capable of doing something worthwhile in my life. Right now I pretty much just sit around and do nothing except watch tv. I’m very tired of watching tv and want a new chapter in my life to start. If anyone feels like talking you can reply here or message me. I’m very lonely and stuck with the negative thoughts in my head.

I can relate as well. The evening are always the toughest for me to. That's when I feel the most alone. My thoughts usually grab a hold of me then to.

Coming here and responding to people or posting my own feelings helps alot.

I wish you well in Pittsburgh. I hope everything goes great and you can begin that next chapter of your life that you want to.

I can relate to how you’re feeling my family is very disconnected and no one talks to each other. They shut me out and do not want to hear about my struggles so it makes it very difficult sometimes as i lay in bed some nights up worrying. Please keep me posted on the TMS therapy I’ve been hearing a lot about it

Hey! I want you to know that I also struggle with anxiety and depression. Alot of mine is related to my son... Which in the past, had some medical problems. He is doing great now, but the fear of him getting sick again seems to always be on my mind. I tend to worry about stuff that may never happen. The only thing that gets me through is prayer. I usually pack me a bag and go in the woods, start a fire, pray and that seems to clear my mind. I want you to know that I will be praying for you, bud.
