Ok I give up

Posted on 09/10/09, 10:37 am

That's right I give...why in the world I thought I had a chance here is beyond me....It's my fault really, I expect way to much of others....expecting people who are as screwed up as me to offer me support *shrugs* I should have known (and I did know)...Hope has a way of messing with us...as I was reading thru here someone mentioned being "normal"....what a concept....This won't last much longer, I'm 43 and my son is 21 and so much a "normal" young man....he'll do just fine!! My husband is 8 years older than me so he'll get along too....I just hope this won't take much longer.....

  When i was diagnosed sept 2006 I truly expected people to show more concern and keep coming round to make sure i was ok. You have to be bipolar to understand it and other bipolars are too busy trying to sort themselves out!! catch 22 but there is hope and the hope lies in you, There's no way I've mastered bipolar but I now have a lot more control over it and know when to retreat from people(when I'm feeling angry or sad)works best for me and in the time I spend alone I can generally get myself into a more positive mood by telling myself what I'm feeling will pass.

  Don't give up. It is a hard struggle, but it takes learning what works and what doesn't. If you need to vent to someone, I am on often. Feel free to add me.

  Maybe sometimes we expect others to know what we need when what we really should do is ask? I don't know. I believe your'e right. I have joined a few support groups on DS and I feel like I am on way more than anyone else, either that or noone likes what I have to say and just doesn't want to talk to me. I just joined this group today though so I can't say that about this one. Anyway if you need someone to talk to so do I so you can message me any time. Don't give up, think of the possible consequences, your son and your husband would no longer be normal.

A group to share the ups and downs of dealing with bipolar disorder
