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.
What am I going to do with my life? Here I am, sitting in my plaid chair, watching TV. It's 3:30 in the afternoon. I'm smoking a cigarette and I'm sick. I didn't sleep much last night. I want to go to bed after a long day at work or school and fall fast asleep, exhausted from the day. I want my days to be filled with adventure. But instead, I move throughout my day without any effort. i receive full support from the government and I don't have a job. Or go to school, or have a hobby. I spent most of my time with my boyfriend. He loves me immensely. He treats me with respect and I don't deserve him. About two months ago, I cheated on him. I still can't forgive myself for what I did. But he has forgiven me whole heartedly. I hope one day he asks me to marry him. I hope we make it to the end. What ever happened to Africa? I want to travel the world. I want to teach Spanish to kids. I want to live in Arizona. But at the rate I'm going, I'll be in front of the television my whole life.

If you have, then perhaps you need a 'med tweak', to find the right combination that will pull you off the couch and get you going back in the Right Direction.
If you have not? Get Back On 'em, girl!
Just because we are bipolar does Not mean we cannot achieve the goals we set for ourselves.
Me? I admit I sounded a LOT like your description on this post when I was your age...but I did NOT take my meds like I was supposed to. I sat out of therapy, stopped taking meds, and continually Reached for the Stars without developing the Skills I needed to Get them!
I Do believe you can do Anything you set your mind to do, but unfortunately, you will need to start by getting out of the Depression stage. Please talk to your doctor about it, and don't ever Stop talking to him/her. Keep faithful, and Consistent, and soon you'll get off that couch and back to the Action!
