This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.

Life has nothing good to offer
Even still I'm too much of a coward to end it.
Nobody gives a crap I've got LITERALLY 2pence in the bank.
What can I do but ride it out I know but I just wish I didnt have to :(
i went back my appointment was futile i was told to basically get over it all and that its all down to my personality and that i have borderline.
theyve slapped that diagnosis on based on history and not current experiences, there is nothing more for me now.
i am distraught and i hate that they believe i can control when i "decide" to have a psychotic episode. i ran off a bus screaming that the man in the suit was from the ministry.
what the fuck the ministry is. when this will happen again i dont know. i need to know i can complete my alevels. these are my ticket out of shitsville.
Can you get a new pdoc? Second opinion?
I hate that you feel this way Mush, your such a great young woman with so much potential. Please dont do anything bad. Just know that we are here to support you and cheer you on.
And boy, do I know about the poor part, at the end of the month its not unusual for me to not eat just so I have enough for the kids.
Your not alone mush....
I hope you can get a second opinion soon.
Hang on tight somethings gotta give.
i hate that they suck so much at treating you where you are. i don't know anything about it either, of course.
please hang in there, there has got to be an answer to finding you real help.
we all care and want you to succeed in finding the right help at some point finally.

CES-you know, my daughter--she gets deeply depressed because they don't give her enough hours on her job or her fiancee's parents treat her like she's nobody or people are mean to her because she's forthright and outspoken and smart.
As for the bad mental health professionals, were it me, I would private message another citizen of Britain who is knowlegable about the system and ask what can be done about getting better services.
People of both genders are now supposed to just stuff their emotions and just go with the flow and not protest and just be perfect little civil servants and never cry or never complain or never have a griveance.
All people of all genders and of all gender choices and orientations--all human beings--feel that lack of community and lack of nurturance because the Big Wigs only care about profit and production and how much they can get out of people in general.
Learning to self nurture is key.
Mush, you are very, very intelligent. You live in a super dark time of limited jobs, climate change and a world that is corrupt. AS a young person, you feel these changes. You feel people's apathy.
I see my daughter CES going through these points of emptiness.
Maybe some folks are intimidated by intelligence.
I guess that just digging deep and taking each day as it comes--setting reasonable goals is all that we can do. Joining a cause is good too.
You may not know this, but you are actually more grounded then some folks I do know. If you can keep your head above water and stand up and clarify and be bold and strong, then you can make it.
Make sure that you take care of yourself.
"They" can slap any label on you that they want, but YOU ARE STILL YOU.
That's part of the reason that I label sometimes-because from the time from the womb onward, I was pathologized.
never mind the bollocks - here's the Sex Pistols!
