> The few people left in my life think it's all in my head and are 'life problems I need to work out'. I can't take it. I would love to just drop out. So many responsibilities...So little enjoyment... so uncomfortable from the useless pills.Hey Mr Scott,
Sounds like your going through a tough time. I am sorry your suffering now.
My best friend, from high school, recently was diagnosised with bipolar disorder. He wanted to just "drop out" .... and he did .... now he is gone forever. This made me very angry and sad.
Now he will never have a wife, never have children, never go to our high school reunions, never experience anything again.But you CAN and WILL have a future. Eventually you will feel better. You will find the right meds and/or resolve your psychological situation. You will be happy, maybe tommorrow or maybe not until next month, but it will happen.
Don't ever give in ..... you can win this. You will win this!

PS Fellow poster "IsoM" wrote this to me. I will never forget it.
"Don't feel guilty about feeling discouraged during this period of finding something that works. Realise that it's perfectly normal to be discouraged & want to give up. Feel it - just don't give in & give up. Just keep telling yourself that there's others rooting for you that have and/or are going through the same thing."
