I'm currently trying to become a published writer so I'm unsure why writting this is proving so difficult...
I'm Bipolar, I'm not well and fully aware of that fact. Practically penniless, friendless, taking only one medication, letting my therapist go, and inching my way to the edge of the cliff I'm back. For what help, hope, coping I don't know. What I do know, I'm tired of being sick and alone and broke and sad and just being me.
Maybe putting myself around others like me will keep me off the edge

We all go through the downward plunge until we figure things out. Keep thinking positive thoughts, set priorities and work toward them. I've always subscribed to the saying that when we're really down there's no place to go but up.

Welcome back :-)

Don't give up hope, I promise you it gets easier.

I've been stable now for three years due to the right meds and the help of my pdoc.

There's a great group of people here to support you.

Keep pushing through and try participating in discussions here with us so you won't feel so isolated. I know what it's like to feel friendless. Keep trying, no matter how hard. (((hugs)))
