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.
My world feels like it has been turned upside down. I feel hopeless.
I emailed my boss Saturday and told her I feel like I have been discriminated against because I had shared my depression issues with her. And I also told her I WOULD be filing for unemployment.
I also filed for disability in October. I am waiting to hear something.
I really am feeling severely depressed. I just don’t understand what is happening to me.

Bad things have happened to you. Terrible things. You are depressed. For us, that is normal. Or so it seems to me. I just want to hug you and tell you hat somehow, everything will work out. But from what you share here, you are doing EVERYTHING you can to maintain employment. With each new job you put forth the effort to be that best you can be. And maybe that doesn't feel like enough, but I see that you are trying SO incredibly hard. I just want you to know that I noticed.

I can imagine you do. I was in a similar situation and it completely sucked. But it’s nit forever

My son (who is also bipolar) says, "The way you feel today is NOT the way you will feel forever." So, please keep the faith, TC40! Many of us have been where you are and sometimes the depression plus uncertainty cause suffering. You are not alone. Keep us posted on your plans and how you are doing.

It’s a terrible feeling. I’m sorry you are going through all you have been through plus some. It’s all you can do to stay afloat. I get it and have been there. No hope...depression bearing down on you. Like trudging through sludge wearing a wet wool blanket in 100 degree heat. It’s all you can do to put one foot in front of another. Please know that you are doing the best you can and don’t give up. You’re a tough one. I can read it in your posts. Good for you for fighting for your rights. Gentle hugs.

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
