Depression slowly crept up on me 2.5 years ago. Â I had a feeling of being unwanted. Â I felt like my friends were ignoring me, and it seemed like no one cared about me. Â The depression kept getting worse and worse everyday. Â I am the type of person that keeps my emotions to myself, so I’d try to put on a happy face whenever I was around people. Â Recently, I noticed that I’m not depressed 100% of the time. Â I looked up why that might be, and my symptoms matched the bipolar disorder symptoms. Â I finally decided I needed help, so I scheduled an appointment with a psychologist. Â She said that she was pretty sure I had bipolar disorder, but wasn’t allowed to officially diagnose me because I am too young. Â I have been trying to cope with being bipolar but it is extremely hard. Â I have finally told a couple of my close friends, but I feel like they don’t think it is a very big deal. Â I don’t want to tell them all about my emotions because I feel like that would just be too hard on them. Â My depression has gotten so bad that I am seriously considering suicide. Â I feel like the only reason I am currently alive is that it would be way too hard on my parents if I wasn’t.

I actually understand completely! I was diagnosed bipolar as well, and I was afraid of what people would think of me if they knew. I have tried to commit suicide many times, but I can promise you it’s not the way to go!! Read as much information on the disorder as you possibly can, get yourself knowledged on it. The best way to handle it is to pretty much schedule your life and eat right. I know it sounds weird, but food really is a big deal in this.

No need to choose death when there is help available.
