I feel like a little kids standing on the outside and looking in. I see people that seem happy. I want to be happy.
If I start taking my meds will I be happy?
I don't really want to continue on feeling so hopeless every single day. At night seems to be worse. Is that true for anyone else? I guess I just need to hear it is going to get better because from where I stand now I can't see that happening. :(

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...
It is worth a try don't you think? :))
Please hang in there.

Well ,try being bipolar.
It's hard work.It's not for the slacker.
You will work with your Pdoc to find what works for you.You may take many meds before you find a combo that works .Only to find after a few years,the effeciveness of your meds has worn off.Then ,you start all over again.
That's why DS is so helpfull.Most of us have been through all of this ,and we know there is a light at the end of the tunnel...even if it's just a little glimmer,it can be found.
No ,being bipoalr is going to be the biggest hurdle you have ever facd.I've wanted to give up so often.But with help from my Pdoc,and DS...I'm still here,and glad I am.
Good Luck
Hun, things CAN get better for you! I really believe that from my heart. Take your meds, and if they don't seem to help, tell your doc and try others. Work with your doc or therapist and learn effective ways to cope with your emotions, especially at night. Yes, nights are worse for a lot of people. They're worse for me, but I've been pretty stable for a while due to a good med mix, and have been handling the nights so much better! There is hope, hun! Hang in there!
