feeling like a lost soul and getting good advice

openroad

For the last god knows how many years I have felt like a lost soul but having just read Kat's post about incorporating the pain I have and problems of bipolar has really resonated with me. As hard as it seems I plan to try to just get my head around the fact that I won't ever come up with a cure so I have to come up with a plan instead. As hard as is seems it also seems like the best advice I've gotten in a long time and just wanted to put up my own post to show that words can be strong healers. I can't thank Kat enough for finally ringing that bell inside my head that shows me a way to try to deal with these problems instead of just complaining. I'm sure that it won't be easy but I have to try something and this seems like a better idea than most I've heard.
Incorporation will be hard but needs to be done.
I think this resonated with a lot of people here and I wanted my own post out there to show how strongly it has with me.

Hi JC, I am so happy that Kat's words resonated with you. Funny how some people can tell you the same thing over & over again verbally, but then to see it written down it clicks just like that. Your right it probably won't be easy, but you know what? You are never alone we are all here to help you through this and we will continue to be here. I've been at it almost a dozen years & I still struggle but I come here or go to one of my other sub groups and inevitably someone posted something that carries me through another day. This is not a race start slow there will be many days when you'll need to take it second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour and before you know it you've made it through another day. If at any time one of those days hits you extra hard take my hand & I will help pull you up. I'm only a message away if you ever need a friend or just someone to vent to. I'm so glad Kat was at the right place at the right time with the right advice. Please keep us posted on how you are doing.

Hugs & God Bless

Hi Ayla, I don't have the ability to post a direct link as I use my iPhone & it won't let me. If you go to home page click on groups if I remember right the alphabet will come up for you to choose which condition your looking for click on the "b" & once the list comes up just look for Bipolar. Also (Kat I hope I'm not overstepping my bounds, if so I'm truly sorry) anyhow I believe Kat is a member of that group I could very well be wrong but just click on her Avitar & it will bring you to her home page if she is a member you will be able to click on the group name & it should take you right to the group. Hope this helps.

Hugs & God Bless

Hi JC, me again oops I told you to go to the home page that was incorrect. If you look at the headers on the to of the screen you will see one that says support groups it is right next to home on the right of it sorry for any confusion.

Hugs & God Bless

    Feeling really depressed

    I know this is stupid, but after not being able to find a job after graduation for almost two years, I ended up just taking an online teaching job because I couldn't find anything in my field. I was trying to get out of teaching and I feel so devastated. I felt this crushing feeling when I signed the paperwork and when I was in the meetings. I know that sounds so dramatic but it is how I felt. It...
