imagine: there are two kinds of courage
one is an active courage that gets people killed
the other is an inner courage that keeps people alive
which of these two is better?
no one can answer that question for you
each has its benefits and drawbacks
no one can tell you what to do
that is your freedom
that is your responsibility
(instead of asking for advice, learn to become more conscious of what is actually happening. then you will be able to see for yourself how things happen. you can make your own decisions about what to do.)
do not preach sermons
do not dictate behaviour
what other people do is thier own responsiibility
the pattern of thier behaviour and your behaviour follows natural law
this law is so general
it covers every possible event
it is so specific
it applies to every instance of every event
no one can decide for you what to do in a given situation
that is up to you
FREEDOM AND RESPONSIBILITY

What does you therapist suggest you to do?
I'm very sorry that you were hurt by people that you loved. That's a bad kind of hurt. Sometimes we have to over look their bad actions. Some people enjoy hurting people or don't realize what they do affects someone elses life in a bad way.
If I were you, I would try to find something to get interested in that you really like to do. Maybe, something you've always wanted to do that you enjoy. Maybe, something that you could share with others.
Do you have a few really good friends to have some interests with? All of us need a few friends and maybe one or two really special ones. It's good to have someone we can confide in and know they will be understanding. Stay away from people and things that are depressing to you.
Do you belong to a place that has people who enjoy getting together just so you won't have to be alone all of the time? It's good to be able to go to a place where you feel good.
I'm so glad you stopped drinking and eating too much. That's a big step in the right direction. Stay in touch with people, like at the gym, and your studying. You keep working with your therapist and work towards 100 %. When you wake up in the mornings, try to think about what you will do to make this a great day for you. You may be able to encourage someone else to have a good day. We all need help every now and then. I'll be thinking of you and I wish you the best each day. Stay positive.

Your doctor should have you on medications that work for you.
There is nothing wrong with Bi-Polar, you did not created it, people are born with. Your doctor should fine the medications you need, He may have you try several until you feel normal again. My daughter takes Depakoe and Lithium (not spelled correct) and she is find, but it took a while. Alcohol or drugs will make your condition much, much worse, I proud to hear that you have quit drinking, going to the gym is a terrific high on life. Has your Therapists prescribed any kind of medication for you, if not WHY? God put on this earth to be happy, talk to him he will give you strength you never knew existed!! Good Luck. Stay positive!
Try jogging or running. I became addicted to exercises and running It feels good.

You are very wise to admit that you need to get professional help now, and it's the first step in the right direction. I read a book on a real life experience in Bipolar disorder by Danielle Steele, and she had written the most touching story about her son, Nick Trainer. It was called: 'His Bright Light' and explained the difficulties that he experienced with ups and downs. If someone knows where you can reach people who deal with this disorder, I am sure that they will help you. Be strong and fight to get better.
You WILL succeed and I wish you all the very best.

What I do when I am depressed is I take 2 tbls. apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before a meal or whenever I feel anger coming on. ACV cures depression, acne, dandruff, and will help with weight loss. You will have so much energy and feel that life is worth living again. Do not feel you are alone. Also drink 6-8 glasses of water to clean out your system.

Thinking through issues, doing things step by step, knowing you're not 100%, having a therapist: Sounds like you're doing everything right. Keep doing what you're doing. Healing is a journey and it takes time, but it sounds like you're on the right path.

First of all...forget about all those who made you hurt..remember that its not the end of the world. concentrate on things you like and make friends or interact with people who love you for who you are and make you feel good...also see a psychologist to help you through this...and remember you are not the only one with this problem....You will be OK.... God bless
