I have suffered from depression for several years. Only recently was I diagnosed not only as being bipolar but also with having anxiety disorder. I sought help from my doctor and a psychologist, even members of my church, but nothing seemed to help. I have been on more medicine than I thought possible, with a different dosage for each, yet neither the medication nor the counseling has helped. I only got worse. In the end I had to drop out of college and I have since become a burden to my family. I try to take it a day at a time but I am unable to hold a job and am receiving no medical treatment at all. I don't know what to do anymore, and I just can't seem to get it together. Most of my family feels I am acting a child, so I can't talk to them about how I feel. With one action constantly on my mind I wanted to ask if is anyone out there who checked themselves into a mental institution and was the better for it? Did it help any? Cuz right now I'm standing on the razor's edge.
