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.
Hi, everyone, i am so sad right now. A girl who caused grief for my husband and myself a couple of months ago committed suicide within the past few days. Even though we didn't get along, it still upsets me to hear this. She was such a young girl, in her early 20's, and she was bi-polar, but not getting help. Noone has heard from her in the past few days and we did not hear any noise coming from her apartment. But we didn't think anything about that because there were times she was gone for days at a time. Say a prayer for her soul.
"the great suicide script writer in their head has just won out..."
I know when I was got to that state of mind...it was beyond reconciliation and i never wanted to talk to others ....I couldn't even explain what it was that I was going through. It lead to my dx and I trust in God that it never gets that bad again. In my case.... i was a lucky lost sheep and pulled though...it was thebeginning of a new life for me....not an easy one but a life with less inner struggle and answers to many unknowns.
it definately is a shame she didn't have somene to intervene or help especially if she was alone....
However if there had been a diagnosis and like many of us (no1 common reaction after dx) denial is always present. I knew i had this thing called "BP
' but dealin with how it would be a lifetime illness takes a lot fo hard work and therapy.....At the end of the day....like most things in life......you either want to help yourself or you can remain the way it will always be. Noone else can make that decision or choice fo anyone. Shame though some people just choose to never seek the help to choose that path.
What I do agree with isat least she is in peace with her inner struggle. Its a horrible ple to be in whe you can't see a way out oth than ending it all. So I neither condone her choice...But hope she rests in peace.
God Bless you Kitten as you too must be going through your own anguish. Stay strong love. Hugs -AM
