Overwhelming feeling

I know I’m going to be put in a strait jacket sooner or later. My bipolar ■■■■ is happening. Twenty years of dealing with my dad’s past, this ■■■■■■■ disorder almost being murdered, people treating me like ■■■■. I can’t take it anymore. I don’t like people that’s the truth.

They lock you up and change ■■■■ up. Fanapt is dangerous and that ■■■■■■■ mixed it with haldol messed up my blood pressure. Good luck on your cat to have another twenty something days to see a vet. ■■■■ everything.

I took my damn meds.

You’re content sometimes. Maybe even a tiny bit happy. People suck for sure, but not everybody sucks all the time.
Hey, I have my horrible days too, and sometimes I feel exactly like you. It’s no mystery, on my bad days I’m looking at the world from a negative perspective and I forget how interesting life can be. It doesn’t even matter if I had a good day just the day before, everything still looks bad. But on my bad days, I just keep putting one foot in front of the other and take care of business and eventually
good times roll around again and I appreciate having my apartment and a car and all those little moments each day that are good. I’m sorry so many bad things are piling up right now for you. I know how discouraging that can be. But take one problem at a time and work on it.

I find I have to compartmentalize in my head. I have lots of problems too and I know that if I look at everything bad in my life it can look overwhelming sometimes too. I have to block some stuff out and deal with it another time.

My advice is to try not to give up on people, Don’t write everybody off just because of a few bad eggs.
When I look back on my life, I see that a lot of my happiest times were with people. I can do stuff alone and be happy or content, but I had some of my best times when I had friends or especially when I’m with my family.

It’s too easy on a bad day to just give up on people. They have their faults but we need people. When I got into AA some alcoholics would talk about how they just wanted to be left alone to drink or do their drugs and forget everybody else. But when alcoholism or drug addiction eventually beat us down or broke us and made us come desperately looking for help, we realize that we need people. We need to depend on other people, we need other people to survive. We need the nourishment of socializing, just like we need healthy food for our body to survive.
