I've been suffering from anxiety since I was young, was diagnosed with depression in college, and recently received a diagnosis of bipolar type 2. I have never let my diagnosis get in the way of my life, but this has become increasingly difficult as life tends to get more complicated. I work full-time and am in graduate school. I'm looking for friends that I can connect with that now what I am going through and can empathize with my diagnosis. I sometimes feel like I have no one to turn to that truly understands what it's like. Lately I've been so depressed and even got as far as drafting up my suicide note, which I've never gotten that far before. I reached out to my psychiatrist who added Abilify to my medications. Hoping that it works but I get so tired of taking and changing medications. Just wish I could function without them.

Hey. I'm in the same boat minus bipolar disorder. Doesn't it all suck? I've been feeling pretty bad for the past couple of months. I'm trying to pull myself out of this funk. I'm sorry your drafting up suicide notes. I hope you have people around you when you need it the most.

Hey so I also have all 3 diagnosis’s except I’m bipolar 1 I believe because my mania can’t be considered to hypo but I also don’t go thinking I’m God or better then anyone I just engage in riskier behavior.

I definitely know how it feels when no one understands how your feeling and why your feeling like that at times when plenty of times there is no reason or a why behind it.

Well I’m here if you ever need to talk/post/message.

So sorry u have to go through this. Pray it gets better for u soon. If u need someone to talk too, Am here.

I understand you I don't have bipolar but I remember drafting up a suicide note as well it helped me get my feelings out. I understand I don't like medication as well it ain't natural but it will get better at least you got help I had to wait until I nearly died for someone to take me seriously even with the notes mean people thought I was a attention seeker but luckily the doctor believed me. I can relate totally I'm here if you need anything
