I found myself praying to Mom today that she would just take me home. I dont know what to do anymore. Its hard to seel yourself for a job when you hate yourself so much. Maybe Im bipolar becasue i go through ups and downs quickly. I jsut donr know if i can be strong anymore.

Do you have a doctor you go to? I suggest you seek medical help. They can asses to see if you are bipolar.
Good luck

My friend I am so sorry to see you hurting. I know you to be a person of determination and courage. I have enjoyed getting to know you and I am glad to have you as a friend. I know I would miss you if you were to die. Are you thinking of hurting yourself? Please don't do anything to trayanne who I like and admire. I too have hated myself, basically all of my life in fact. You are right that it is tough to be confident when you feel lower than worm spit. It seems the world only rewards those who can act like they have it together. Between mood swings and grief and severe depression I don't blame you for feeling lost and exhausted. Please hold on one more day, it could be that your Mom will bring you comfort and some strength to carry on. She would want you to live my friend, we want you to live. I am feeling strong lately so maybe I could give you some strength. You are not alone and it is never too late to find hope, it will come if you don't despair. Please keep me posted.

I hear you loud and clear and have felt the same way. There is testing that can be done to determine that you are in fact using the proper medication. I hope you seek to get the help you so deserve.
I am sorry sorry for your pain and hope that St. Patrick's Day will bring you a little luck. I am so sorry. Huge hugs.

my doctor thought I might be bi-polar and he is treating me for that with a mood stabilizer. I did go for testing afterward, but the test said I wasn't. I'm still being treated with the stabilizer though. It really helps me.
I'm so sorry that you are going thru so much pain. Its hard to face the world when you can't face yourself. Please reach out for the help you need. Hang in there, one day at a time.

(Hugs)
