Depressed and no desire to live

I am not suicidal!

I'm angry. I have bipolar disorder, and I'm so tired of small disappointments manifesting into devastations. I wish I could just remain within a typical person's spectrum of emotions. Instead, I feel worthless and like life is meaningless. I have no desire to wake up tomorrow or to even move out of my bed. I just feel alone and want to be heard by people who understand what I'm going through.

I'm right there with you today and empathize fully. Yes we must keep going and most days I want to quit. I have three young kids that have to be my laser focus because they matter. I am sending a giant virtual hug. Nothing is ever solved in a day, we just try our best. Sometimes our best is getting clothes on. I'm proud I showered today. Keep writing as much as you need.

As a fellow parent of 3 kids, I feel what you said in my bones. Sometimes just making sure they are fed and supervised is all I can do. It’s hard. Really hard. But knowing we aren’t alone can be comforting.

What works for me when my thinking gets like that is telling myself the truth over and over. I say something like this: (“the truth is …”.). I try to make it a habit because my brain has a tendency to blow things way out of proportion if I get upset by something, even if it’s actually very trivial. It’s like I’m training my brain not to make everything a catastrophe. It does get better the more you do it over time. I hope this helps and I hope you get some relief soon.

Hi

We are all here to listen to you. Many here struggle with those same things.

This is a very supportive community. I'm glad you are here

🐬

I don’t know what to add to what other people have said. I have bipolar disorder too. I feel for what you are going through.

I feel the same….I have severe OCD and my life just hurts everyday. I don’t feel like I will ever get better or be happy as my mind just never shuts off.

I hear you. Going through the same feelings. I'm just waking up to the fact I might be bi polar. Actually. Im fairly certain. In the very first attempts at admitting it.

I need to find a Dr.

Life is worth it. We are all worth it.

Negative thoughts are the devil.

Focus on something positive. Even if it's being able to breath.
