Bipolar 2

[Lindyhobbit]

Hello everyone

I am diagnosed with Bipolar and have been since I was 23. I have been going thru a really difficult depression for a month now. I have struggled with it mostly by myself. There is one person I can talk to. I also have my mother to care for who has Alzheimers. Im going to have therapy in the New Year and have my medication looked at but feel alone and disconnected so much of the time. Its so hard to get up every day and function or appear to function normally. Does anyone feel the same and want to talk?

Sorry you are feeling a bit down atm and having to look after your Mum too, have you contacted social services to find out about support groups for carers and alzheimers?
