Are we fighting a losing battle here/

No...I'll rephrase that ..some of us are fightibg a losing battle here.

yah,some find balance,stability.Many even work challangeing jobs.Find happiness with their famlies,support fromfriends.

I'm not any of those people.
I am the Sparticus ,in this battle.I've given it a good try.....but was out numbered 1000 to 1.
No matter how shiney the armour,no matter the strength of the army and dedication of the fight...sometimes,we just lose.

we just have to keep fighting. there are so many new medications out there. maybe that is what you need. it took me three years to get the right combination of medications. i take effexor, for depression; vistiril for anxiety; lithium for a mood stabilizer; seroquel and trazodone for sleep. it could be as easy as finding the right meds. i have also been in group therapy for a long time. both of things have worked for me. get yourself a good psychiatrist and talk to him about the meds. if you have any questions about meds, feel free to e-mail me. i'd love to help if i can. good luck

Just signed back on...this is nt a GOOD BYE COLD WORLD note.


It's my ..I GIVE UP note.
Too many if's about meds
Too many side effects
Too many losses in my life.

I give up.
Let them medicate me into oblivion,let this ugly brain disease take i's toll.

WHO I AM..no longer exsists.
Why try to reclaim what is forever lost/
You fool your delves with your positive thinking.

Bipolar is a brain disease ,that renders the brain UNABLE to ACCESS the rational thinking side.

So ,today ,I'm going to be irrational...and realise ,this is the way I'll probably spend the rest of my life.

Thanks for listening...and for Gods sake
NO
you'll feel better
This will pass
Hang in there

I know you all are dears,and mean well...just can't handle the BS today

The fact is that because you are still posting you are not completely giving up even though you say so. Maybe this day will be the one you hear something so personal and inspirational it kind of makes sense even though bipolar itself doesn't make sense.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
