Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
Do you have anxiety about the state of the environment? I try to keep it in check but it is always in the back of my mind. Sometimes I get so discouraged that I don't even care about recycling, but I still do.

Life has been really hard this past year. I'm really feeling down and alone. I can't talk to my family about my depression and anxiety their not very understanding about it. It's really hitting me since my mother passed a few months ago, plus stress from having to eventually move.

When i was in the ER February 16th 2025, i was being admitted to ICU where i was for 3 weeks, then had to relearn to walk for 3 weeks in another hospital rehab floor, the nurse told me something that made me feel for over 18 months now that i was finally *safe*. She told me that the guy who raped and beat me 21 years ago now almost 20 years at that time, was in prison as of a month before that...
I've been a conservationalist and had some training in environmental stuff in the past.
As for climate change - to an extent it always happens but it is happening faster right now. That means that in the environment some species are winners and some are losers - generally the trend though would be to overall decrease species diversity, leaving only the tougher, more adaptable and mobile species.
As for the fate of humanity - I suspect once the developed nations start to feel the effects seriously then we will find a way to deal with it globally. In the meantime it will often be some of the developed nations that will take the brunt.
But overall we will survive, so will the environment in one form or another.
But continue to recycle in the meantime - it does make a difference.
You can't make money if half your customers are either dead or too poor to buy your goods.
And despite what people think, alot of industry is changing and preparing itself. If customers demand for example cars not powered by gas they are there with the solutions.
Industry are doubly tied to the people. We are their customers and if we decided they could be out of business tomorrow. Seriously.
They are then tied by our pension investments in them. Put pressure on your pension provider re where they invest and whole sections of the corporate world could disappear overnight.
It's just another attempt at Government Narcissism.
Even with the hope of keeping the temperature rise to 2 degrees C, which is unlikely to happen given the substantial changes need by 2040- the cut-off year in which emissions must be substantially lower or else, disasters will happen. I'll be approaching 80. How old will you be?
Figure in China and India and you can forget about it. And what about the rapid rates of extinctions which are occurring. Without biodiversity food will be very limited. According to this very academic article we won't get there, and even if we do it will be to late for the catastrophes to be prevented.

Now I'm not so confused. It's hopeless. Very sad. I hope my daughter doesn't have a child because I will be doubly nervous.
