I live in a house with my best friend and my partner. I am depressed and bipolar and i am forced to pretend im ok everyday. If im not i am asked constantly whats wrong and you have to talk about it. It is all things that ive talked about before and they just dont understand that it doesnt go away. They keep telling me i have to get on with my life but its not that easy. Can anyone help?

you need to be honest with them and not hide it anymore. ask them for patience and support and maybe go see a dr if you can. we are here to listen but i am really down right now too so not sure i can help a lot.
