I dont want to die or anything like that but I sometimes want to just leave leave everyone and everything and start over. I know that is horrible but I get so depressed and lonely I am so tired you know. I know I am a great person and a lot of fun but I wont put myself out there to meet new people. I got married at 17 and 11 years later I dont know why we did it. I do have 2 amazing kids that I do love with every bone in my body and they are the only reason I am still here. I know I am a good mother and I make sure they have know idea how I feel because kids should never know the troubles of their parents. What do I do to feel better. I already take meds so now what.

Since you got married at such a young age you may feel like you missed out on some things, or you rushed int something you weren't really ready for, but no matter what age people decide to take these important steps in life, they are huge responsibility's and it always takes alot of work to hold it all together. Yes it can be very overwhelming at times, so you need to take a little break now and then, not disappear, you just need to rejuvenate yourself, maybe go to a movie, or go shopping or maybe theirs a restaurant you hane been wanting to try, when you come home after these little outings you will see things alittle differently, and you will start to appreciate everything you do have in life! Don't push away people who may be trying to help you, like your parents or siblings or in laws, or friends, they can be very important in helping you , like maybe looking after the kids for you or just talking to someone you trust.I hope things get better soon!

Yes, I have had that feeling of wanting to disappear.
I am sorry you are so depressed. I have been there, too. If you still feel this bad after medication, please see your doctor again. I took four different medications before I got the correct one. The correct one can help.
I know this sounds lame but exercise can help a great deal. Get outdoors with your children. Your kids are worth the trouble.
You are not the only one who has this problem. People understand and will help if you get around the right people.
Good luck to you.

ABSOLUTELY! Finally a question I can relate to. But know this: A lot of people care about you and love you and would more than likely miss out on seeing you. But in the back of people's minds, sure, sure they do want to just "Start over" as you put it. I don't personally like meds especially if your husband forces you to. Re-evaluate your life and good luck. I feel you.

It's possible that the meds you ARE taking are not working for you--there are other options available. But I admire you for not trying to dump it on your kids. And everyone feels like they want to disappear at least sometimes. As far as feeling better? Most of the time, it's easier said than done, but take life one day at a time, and try to enjoy the little stuff. Tee hee, I like the saying don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things!

Man, do I know THAT feeling.
I keep asking if 33 is too old to run away from home.
It is very easy to get overwhelmed. I would definitely go with counseling, especially before it becomes a bigger problem. A lot of times, it helps just to talk to someone.

Do you really think you are a great person? Think about this. Nobody is. The only hope for you is called Jesus... reach out to Him and you will see how wonderful it can be... I've felt like you thousands of times, and believe me, if I didn't have Him to comfort me, my life would be nonsense, and who knows what I would do...

I think it somewhat of a psychological expression of your need to just spend some time by yourself. Maybe thats how you recharge your batteries. Don't go with spouse or kids just do some you time stuff.
After you do get recharged maybe you need to spend a nice vacation with husband and get to know him again. If not at least see a marriage counselor.

Meds are fine, but if you don't find out why you feel this way you will never get better.
Go see a counselor/therapist. And don't say "I can't." Only you can help yourself get better. No one else.

When i have my bipolar episodes (which are high and low mood swings), i always feel like i just wanna dig a deep hole and bury myself in it. Lots of people feel like this. But believe me it shall past. Nothing is forever. Not even depression.
