fallen back into a depressive episode and feeling absolutely hopeless and unmotivated. I'm gonna try to save up some money to possibly get an official diagnosis for bipolar but it has wrecked my life. I'm always under stress from my day job and can barely function whenever I have days to myself. I'm gonna a try to get help and perhaps receive benefits to help. I don't want to be put on any sort of medication because they do more harm than good. idk I'll hang in there and try to stay positive, even though my brain seems physically unable to do so.

being bipolar strips you away from being able to function as a human. I feel nobody acknowledges the pain we have to go through on a daily basis, having our inner monologue constantly tell us we're worthless from the moment we open our eyes. sometimes I can't even leave bed

I also feel less motivated to finish anything musically. this sucks. I will try to find a solution but therapy and such is extremely costly especially without insurance.

We understand, Gojii! But I agree, your best bet is to get diagnosed so then you could apply for benefits. A lot of doctors these days, especially mine, have gone to a all natural approach when it comes to medication. This might make you feel better but I've personally never had a problem with medication, brain wise. You could also just start and remain on a very low dose. Please keep us updated and I wish you the best! 💕

I've heard quite a few things about medications and their effect depends on the person. But seeing that at least a small dose of anti-depression medication has genuinely assisted people I care about dearly, you may not know exactly if it is or isn't for you until you have the chance ro try and compare. I only would want you to feel what it's like to have depression lifted even for a day. It can really put things in perspective as to how much help you might need and have more info to make decisions for yourself about it. You deserve to be happy, and I hope you can make the changes in your life to help you get there again. We love you!!

I'm sorry to hear this. I agree that you should apply for benefits, this has helped someone I know very much, and they're actually getting back on their feet, now. Being bipolar myself, and having two bipolar parents, anti-depressants have helped me quite a bit. The effect depends on the person and the medication, but I would recommend trying out different ones. It's sometimes difficult, but once you find the right one, medication actually does help quite a lot. There's also some folks that use Cannabis-derived medication if that's something you'd feel more comfortable with it, just get advice from a doctor on that. Please be safe, and I wish you the best. <3
