Hi ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™€๏ธ I have been diagnosed with Bipolar for 24 years. Over that time  I have learnt to reduce /manage the really self destructive aspects of hypo. However, the depression cycles have become longer and harder to get out of, particularly since lockdowns in 2019. I am becoming increasingly isolated. Currently I have not slept properly at night (if at all) since mid December. Hoping this group will provide some sense of community and constructive suggestions. Thanks.

I've been through everything that you are going through just a couple of questions are you medicated 

 Its taken 20 years to be on the right medication for so long my illnesses were in control a very dark and painful and depressing place to be i never used to sleep ๐Ÿ˜ด now im on sedative which is a sedative excellent for sleeping i always knew that if my sleep was not good there was something else going on 

You are more than welcome to ask me questions I've put a little of what I've been through there is so much more

Hi everyone,

 

I joined this forum as I find it hard expressing how Iโ€™ve been feeling to the people close to me.

 

For a long time Iโ€™ve felt like this but Iโ€™ve found a consistent way of distracting myself through a focus on my career. Iโ€™m diagnosed adhd and an ed, and have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life as well. I guess Iโ€™m just reaching out as I feel incredibly lonely and lost and donโ€™t really know what to do with this pressure Iโ€™ve put on myself as my career has become my identity and when Iโ€™m finding it difficult, I start to question what I really want to do with my life and worry about the guilt I would feel to both myself and my family and friends if I decide to discover another path. What if this is really what I want to do and choosing another path will fill me with regret for what I could have been a capable of? What if this is something Iโ€™ve just chosen because I felt I owed it to my family to pursue this as they did so much for me and never had the chance to do something like this themselves? I feel very lost and most of all, I feel exhausted. 

I donโ€™t know if this made any sense, but I wanted to thank the moderators and creators of this platform, but also the kind people that read all of these posts.
