I hate my mind right now.. I am so sick and tired of being just fine and then out of no where I suddenly feel like the world is closing in on me and I can't explain why. It just comes out of no where. I go from fine to ok to terrible in only minutes. I can't live this way anymore.. I can't take it. And I feel like I have no escape.. no way out. I would never ever consider taking my own life.. I like being alive.. it's better than being dead as far as I'm concerned, no matter how painful living may be. But if I can't just die and I can't keep living the way I am.. and I can't change my flip-flopping nature.. what the hell can I do? Do I have to just suck it up and keep going, knowing that I'll never just be ok and stay ok?? I just can't do it... so frustrated... so tired....... fuck meeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

I am the same way. I can be totally fine and in a split second feel like my world is falling apart. And like you I'm sick to death of it.

How do you get through it? Cuz I'm at the end of my rope right now.. I've tried so hard to make myself get over it... but nothing works...

I usually remind myself that I've been through it before.. and it'll pass just like it always does... but I'm getting to the point where I wonder what the fucking point is in bothering to get through it when I know I've only got a few weeks or months of stability before the whole stupid cycle starts over again... it's like.... why fix a car that's just gunna break down again in a month anyways?

I know exactly what you mean b/c I'm there myself. Been going through it for YEARS!!
Currently I'm on meds & for the most part, they seem to be working but sometimes it happens anyway. I just try to take one minute at a time. When I'm doing ok, I'll do things I like to do or catch up on some things that need to be done. When I'm down, I try to look back at what I did when I was feeling good. Sometimes things work, sometimes not. Every day is different. Are you getting any professional help?

I'm not in counseling right now... but I think I should be.... I'm going to make an appointment tomorrow.... this has gone on too long..............

SBoom,I think your being challenged to get free. It wiil come soon. Good Luck

deleted_user 03/05/2008

I think it will help. As I said some things work some don't but in order to find out, you have to try different things. Good luck & I'm around if you need to vent or something.

I fucking hate myself

deleted_user 03/05/2008

:( Don't hate your life.

Why do you hate it?

deleted_user 03/05/2008

Sounds to me like you may be bipolar. In any case, you need to talk to a professional & maybe be put on meds. I didn't want to for a long time but I did come very close to dying & I feel if you don't get some help you are going to end up feeling that you want to, also. Hang in there & please go get some help. What have you got to lose? As down & low as you are, it can only get better. At least a little bit which is better than not at all, right? My thoughts are with you....

You have to be positive and take ne day at a time. I recently had issues myself and I have been placed in a great program that is helping me learn how to manage my anxiety and depression. You can overcme it!!!!
