Hitting a wall - what now?

Hey nattye, First off - I'm proud of you for working hard for yourself. That is wonderful. I believe it takes support, realization and [b]you[/b]to help to get better. What I meant by "you" is that everyone else can offer a helping hand but it's up to you to help yourself. Take things slow, take each day by day. Empty out how you feel daily, vent. Be your own friend. I hope that has helped you some, nattye. *hugs*

nattye there are no answers i think we just have to keep trying. its not a bad thing you push yourself as long as you are pushing for the right reasons. i wanted to reply and let you know someone was listening. unfortunately i dont have all the answers, and i hardly have any. all i can say is for me, i have bp and ptsd and i have my ups and downs...mostly downs, but i keep going. ive been working on reaching out when i need a pick me up. that is hard for me but like i said im working on it. dont feel you have to take on all those things unless you want to. you never have to do anything you dont want. ive been learning that also. it sounds like you are strong and doing well tho. how are you feeling today?

I have had a long history of depression, anxiety (social and generalised) and bipolar, it started developing when I was 12, I am now 22 and no where near being stable. I have tried most meds, I was hopitalised for 3 months and had ECT. No one ever thought that I'd be able to go back to uni, let alone work at the same time and then move out of home. I'm afraid I took on board too much. I haven't got a lot of professional support, my pdoc seems to be bored of me. I have worked so hard to get where I am, now I seem to be letting it slip away, I'm aware of this, but I can't stop it. What happens now? How do you keep keeping on?
