Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...

My mother lives one hour away and she is bi- polar without treatment. I cant talk to her about anything of consequence.
I have found subsitution, like you would in a tribe. Someone is meant to be your spiritual mother or father and they will be there for you when you need them like your mother was. Be open to different ways of meeting and connecting with different kinds of people. I have asked 2 of my girlfriends mothers if the would adopt me and both did (cuz I'm an armful!) You are never alone in this kind of pain. Many of us know it well. We all send you hugs and prayers dear one.
I am so sorry for your pain. Feeling like you want to die is something you are not alone in. But remember...the ones who love you will miss you. It is a very permanent solution. 2 of my uncles committed suicide...I miss them everyday. I had times when I thought that was the answer to my problems. I am glad I didn't. I took walks...drove around with the music blaring...went to the local animal shelter and petted the animals. The coffee shop with a good romance. Anything to get your mind off your problems.
Please hang in there....we are all here for you.
God Bless You!!!
For me I try to replace them with thoughts of God and all the blessings He has given me, including this gift we call depression. Please read my journal post for more on that subject.
And we have so many folks here at DS who love and care for us.
And the part about finding a tribe is right-on. Keep looking for people and experiences (safe ones!) whose shoulders you can lean on and whose wisdom you can trust. Nothing will replace your mother, but your needs will not go away just because she's no longer there.
Please don't give up.
