...its late at night and im alone in my room and i start thinking about everything that's happened to me and i get really depressed about my life. my friends dont really know much and they wouldnt be able to understand me anyway. my parents play this game where they pretend that im totally fine and treat me like i have no problems. im really suicidal and i dont want to have to live like this. no one should live like this. ive been trying meds for a year now, and nothing has been working. i feel hopeless for me and my future.

" Hi bellreavue,
I know it si difficult to believe but you are not hopeless and life will give you many opportunities to be happy or at least in peace.
Life for us is not easy and there is a few people who really can understand us but you should never loose your faith. "

" Here's a site for suicidal support and education:

There's a lot to learn about dealing with BP so give yourself a chance to do that. If the meds aren't working get your doc to help you out. The most important thing I've learned is that I should survive, and in the best way possible. In spite of the feelings, you can and will have a wonderful future if that's what you want. "

" Hi Bella,
sweetie, it will get better! I'm writing this feeling desperately lonely and sad, but I have hope that tomorrow I will be better. I have a habit of writing little positive entries in my journal at night when I feel desperately alone. I entitle them "from mommy with love" as my adopted mommy is the greatest positive force in my life. They are words of encouragement/comfort that I think she would tell me if she were with me at that moment. It's probably odd I suppose, but works for me. I hope you find something that can work for you. Don't give up! Hugs!! "
