Hi 

Just feeling so alone on my journey living with bipolar 2.

Does anyone else feel alone and down?

Be great if I could hear from someone else who is feeling like this.

I just feel shit about my life and wish I wasn't here most of the time.

Taking my meds but my circumstances are quite tough right now.

I wish we had an instant chat on this site so we didn't have to post all the time.

Hi @Kate82 

I'm a bit new here. I'm a Peer worker. Came across your post and thought I'd drop you a line. 

It sucks feeling alone and down. I don't have experience of Bipolar 2 but live with anxiety and some days really are worse than other. Hope you're okay. Just wanted to say thanks for sharing. There's a big community out here trying to help and you're not alone.

Thanks for reading this. I hear you re: instant chat option. I don't know if it's in the pipeline but the more people ask the more change is likely. Well done for voicing this.

Hi @Kate82.

I too have bipolar 2 and feel alone through this. I do have a lot of MH support though. Do you have supports?

I feel what you are saying all too well.

Just know that I do hear you and have a great deal of understanding

Hi! I have BP2 as well.

I can definitely understand what you are talking about - I definitely have those days/weeks/months where I just feel so alone and crap.

it’s not a great feeling hey.
