Hopelessness Does It Ever End

Hi Teen,

I am sorry you are feeling this way. Please don't feel guilty. Battling with bipolar disorder is not easy. It is normal to feel stuck. What is amazing is that you feel this way yet you are still here trying to work on it. So give yourself some credit!


How are you feeling today?

Hi Teen... welcome to the DC.  Yes, I have felt the way you describe.  I suspect every member here has felt that way at one time or another or another or another or another.  Does the hopelessness ever end?  I don't think so.  I think we can manage it and lesson it's impact, but I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't just a part of life these days.  Just my opinion on that.  I do know for certain that it can get better.  We can get better.  Have you ever had a time where you felt "better" and were managing well?

I have been battling bipolar disorder, among other things for well over 15 years now. I have had to go on sick leave yet again. I am just getting so tired of fighting. The new meds aren't helping. I just want to sleep 24-7. Sometimes I just don't want to wake up. I know I should be grateful for what I have, but I don't have the energy. Then I feel guilty because of that. I just feel stuck...anyone else ever feel this way?
