Bipolar Disorder Support Group

This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
How would you help a friend who feels their life is a burden and not worth living because they have been dependant on others for too long?

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

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...
Hopefully someone will come along with good advice - something I am lacking in tonight :)
I had an 18 yo. kid tell me he can't understand why her family has treated her so bad and like a burden because a person is more important than money.
I thought to myself-"from the mouth of babes".

i also told her that i have a sign in my room i made and it says ''always have hope'' i said to her waking up to that every morning gives me hope... an i told her try be positive i know it's hard but you'll get there we all get there.. i told her strategies she can do excersise eat healthy read a book write a journal.... or just goto bed so she can wake up and have a brand new day..
