I have bipolar disorder and something bad happened this week that has left me depressed and kind of lost and empty. I really need someone to talk to. Just keep crying and even considered suicide earlier in the week..

Oh dear, not good. I don't know how much help I'll be but I will be on line for the next two hours if you need to talk.

I'm new to the forum, I know how hard life can be and I'm sorry you feel the way you do.
I would like to suggest having a delicious warm cup of coffee or tea- or perhaps eating/drinking something sweet. They release the "happy chemical" in your brain. They aren't miracle workers, but I find That on occasion, they help me. I check the forum periodically so feel free to message me whenever if you're in the mood to talk.

I am thinking that you are a very good person. I am sorry you are having troubles. I am more than glad to help you feel better any way I can.

I'm sorry you had a bad week that left you feeling depressed. My heart goes out to you. You didn't mention if you are under a doctor's care for your BPD. If not, maybe it would be a good idea. Counseling might help as well. At the very least perhaps you could reach out to a close friend, relative, or someone at your local church. If you are considering suicide, please call the National Suicide Hotline. In the US, that number is 1-800-273-8255, Hang in there. I'll be praying for you.

I'm on medication yes, but can't see a psychiatrist and haven't been able for a year because I've been smoking weed to help with pain, which is illegal in my country, and that means I can't get any medical help except in getting "sober" as they say. Quit 2 days ago so it will be easier to get support but since I've so recently quit I'm still considered a drug addict and don't deserve help :/
