I´ve been suffering from this disorder for almost 10 years now, and I feel my life is over and that I am a dead crazy mind inside a body that has lost meaning to live. The doctors never know what do to nor to prescribe and I don´t have any hopes there is any effective treatment for this. I am sorry. But I´ve been here, living with it, for so long and I am very unhappy and life is a huge pain for me, that is all I can tell, if you are sick, I feel your pain, if you know someone sick, be patient and show your affection for whoever it is, just try to be there for whoever you know suffers from it. Loneliness is one of the most terrible pains for someone with BD. Published: October 06 ::

I display most of what has been said about BD (bipolar disorder). I know I have a kind of mild case, but for most of my depressive moments, what I feel is kind of a low self-esteem coupled with the inability to perform simple, practical duties. It helps that I have a habit of going to the swimming pool to get relief from my depression. There is something about that cool water that is greater than the effects of depression. I do not know what the answer can be scientifically speaking, but I regulate my depression by touching water, at least, whenever going swimming is not possible. Splashing water over my face and head gives me an amazing awakening and a great sense of relief. Published: September 16 ::
