I get some days at a time i just nerd to lay down in dark tmroom n be left Till my mood hopefully levels out....I'm suffering and I just lost my counseling i been going too,some insurance glitch so thete saying...anyone I can use a friend who understands....God bless us who suffer..

Top priority is mental health, plan to thinking about your day and getting rest. Eat well and give your full energy to your mental health and just focus on this. Learn to cope rather than subatoge your efforts. Emotions are very important and need to think through them. Respond kindly to yourself. Be the best to you.

Your mind deserves attention, give care to your mental health

Understand yourself deeply and give yourself a chance to react and cope.

Everything in life happens but you got to look after yourself

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. This is a good place to come as we all understand being we’re all suffering in one way or another. I can just imagine what a tough situation you’re in with all the heart ache and tragedy you’ve had to deal with. Are you on medication? Its not the answer to everything but I certainly think it could be helpful for you. Let us know how you’re doing. We do care.

Again, I’m sorry to hear all this. You definitely do have some challenges. Do you have someone come in to help you with your Mom? Take some of the pressure off.

Are you able to apply for Medicare? I’m not sure when the health insurance part would kick in but you can also apply for SSI (disability) which would give you benefits right away. That would certainly help with any mental and physical conditions you are suffering from if you could see the right doctors.

Hello Pitalife, my prayers are with you and the prayers of everyone here are with you. As far as I read, you have had a very difficult life so far, even if it is difficult, you have managed and this makes me admire you. You are stronger than many people I know. I say this from my heart. Bipolar and mania are bad, yes, I deal with them too. And I have never had the opportunity to receive therapy or treatment. Because of my family, I have actually acted in a theater for people all my life and I continue to do it. Life is gray for me and I feel like I am living in vain, but recently I realized that the feeling I feel is really real is ambition, I want to be the best in everything, I want to surpass everyone. Going back to you, if you take up hobbies you love, it really makes me break away from bipolar or focus on your emotions, listen to songs, draw pictures and remember, just because now is bad, the future will not be bad, you are strong, I know, take care of yourself.
