hello, I have bipolar disorder I am 20 and I am in the depressed phase. My lithium doesent work, and I am so so depressed, I don't know what to do....I want to kill myself sometimes and it's a miserable feeling. I don't have a therapist or anything. Maybe I should take antidepressants? But it seems like sometimes my moods fluctuate every hour and then I go into a very deep depressive state. Someone help me I don't want to feel this way.

Go back to doctor. Tell him you need adjustment in your meds.
You should see a psychiatrist for meds instead of internist or
family doctor. And talking to therapist would be good also.

I know life can be hard with this illness, it's like a curse, I can relate and I have my good days when I'm chillin, laughing, and in good spirits and then some days I either can't stop crying or I don't want to see or speak to anyone, it sucks sometimes, but hang in there. Thinking about positive things and being around people who understand what you are going through helps, I'm having a hard time with my meds because I go through dad side effects which makes me more depressed. But at the end of the day you can't give up, you have to keep fighting, you Must talk to somebody, don't keep everything to yourself because you will over come the struggle. I will pray for you, I really hope you get better. I hope you feel better very soon.
