help_me end of her rope. I'm really not wanting to live right now. Manic/depressive. Can remember wanting to leave this plane since age 8. I know I'm not alone. Why do you all keep going? 010906 ... dB We just do. I was diagnosed as bipolar when I was 15. Now I'm 21 and have learned a bit about it, and myself. It's a gift, enjoy it. When you are down you can see things with a different perspective. People can become transparent and you can assess them and situations with great clarity. When you are up you can take on the world. Nothing can stand in front of you. People side with you for reasons which they and you can't explain. It's like a power of personality and people will be drawn to you like moths to a light. As you get older, you learn how to use it, control it. The two aspects of being bipolar will become tools that you can use to help yourself and other people. Bear with it for now. I know what the temptation is like because I've been there. But never forget, you have a gift, and once you learn how to use it you'll be able to do great things. NEVER stop feeling. They may try to give you drugs that'll make you numb, if you take them that is your choice and it's not a bad thing, but it's far better to accept who you are. And just keep moving. Eventually, you'll get there. and if you need help, I'm here. drop me an e-mail sometime if you like. 010906 ... dB We just do. I was diagnosed as bipolar when I was 15.
