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.
I called the suicide prevention help line and they were no help at all. I don't know what to do.I feel overwhelmed. I'm feeling very depressed and I have been out of my antidepressant for a week and a half. I will not have health insurance till Monday Andi don't think I can hold on till then. I'm also out of one of the meds that help me sleep and a high blood pressure med. My long term disability insurance is burying me in paper work. The nights are the worse.
Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the DS Main Page.
There are several Crisis Lines listed.
Just because 1 Hot Line didn't help much, maybe the next call you make will hook you up with a more sympathetic listener
If you live somewhere where you can, get out of the house and go sit in a coffeehouse or 24 hour restaurant. It might be hard to get up and do it, but it will get you somewhere where you'll probably feel safer. Bring your computer and chat with someone on DS.
For the longer-term, see if you can find an independent therapist or religious leader or someone else who is willing to talk with you and help you through.
These are just a couple of ideas. I know it's got to be so hard, I hope you find something to help.
