Depression is a real and debilitating condition that is often misunderstood by family and friends. Its meaning can range from a prolonged period of sadness to an actual mental illness with specific symptoms. Find and share experiences with others who are going through the same struggles.
Why does love hurt so much? I'm 20 years old and live with my mom. I never want to leave her. I will only leave if she wants me to leave or if something else comes up as if I get married.
I know this must be a human thing. but why is love so wonderful but so painful. I love my mom so much it physically hurts. I would do anything for my mom and my older sister and my close friends I love.
In psychology class we learn about mood disorders. I have been diagnosed with depression and I take medication for it and many times the medication doesn't even work. The therapist I used to meet with agreed with me that I might have bipolar disorder. I feel like I might be bipolar because my emotions are too strong. but then again I'm not really sure if I do because in my psychology book I don't really have the symptoms it says for bipolar. It's just I'm so tired of having very strong emotions and I'm super sensitive and it can be hard to be in school. It's just when I get upset it's like the end of the world and when im happy it's like the best day of my life and all I want to do is crazy stuff and run and sing and dance in the streets. and just go wild. It's hard to control. I know I shouldn't go too wild and I try to control it but sometimes I really just want to steal things and feel that adrenaline rush. All this crazy stuff I never imagine myself doing like stealing or something like that. it's just to hard to control my emotions. why must they be so strong and aggressive?
anyway, that's all. I feel like I kinda vented a lot, I don't really know what I'm talking about anymore.

I got an email from Kohl's that I had a 40% off coupon for today and tomorrow only. It took me about an hour but I placed an order and got some great deals. I have been wanting a new dress. I like dressing up sometimes. My birthday is coming up and I have dinner plans at a nice restaurant. But, honestly, I'm a little out of control again. I went through this in the fall. I bought...

Has anyone else noticed that clearly speaking and doing things intentionally is liberating because it helps combat the feeling of depression and a sense of hopelessness? Let me share a little more: in my experience, when those who have tried to project a hidden agenda that is obviously not aligned with integrity and well-being, it's best to be firm and speak clearly from self-awareness and...
I talk to my mom every day. I know it brightens her day as well as mine. She's my mom and I'll only have one of those.
Love is so wonderful because Love is God and it is the closest we can feel here on earth. the love for your mother or your friends. the love you feel for a husband, these are what heaven feel like. that's also why it hurts to be away from that wonderful feeling. Keep God close and he'll love you forever and you can pass that to others you want to love. God Bless Emma
But I also wanted to say to Emma— love your mom everyday and cherish the relationship you have with her. Everyday can’t be perfect and we all have some weird thoughts that run through our heads. Run and sing and dance the crazy thoughts away.
"hmm...maybe...can you tell me more about how you feel about that?"

And well, no one can ever diagnose themselves with anything. A UTI...hmm, it my bladder did feel a bit painful.... You can talk yourself into or out of pretty much anything.
Doctor I'm NOT, but bipolar is more than just about feelings. If you're concerned about your diagnosis perhaps it's time to go back to your doctor, or if you're seeing your family doctor to go to an actual psychiatrist.
Oh and it sounds like your mom is very lucky to have you as a daughter.
