I urge you to read any of Kay Redfield Jamison's books. "Kay Redfield Jamison (born June 22, 1946) is an American clinical psychologist and writer whose work has centered on bipolar disorder which she has suffered from since her early adulthood. She is Professor of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and is an Honorary Professor of English at the University of St Andrews." I read *An Unquiet Mind,* and it was wonderful. It really humanizes bipolar disorder, taking it out of the realm of statistics--which is very, very important. YOU ARE NOT A STATISTIC! You can't know what girls want unless you ask the individuals; not all girls want the same thing!!! Some would love to be a "teacher." Others are the way you describe. It's a whole wide world out there, believe me--please! Your diagnosis is not just something you have to suffer through life with. From your writing, and your crying, and your suicidal thinking, it's HIGHLY likely that you're in a depressive state right now. Are you seeing a therapist? Are you taking meds? Are you part of a support group? All of these things are key to having your life the way you want it, and not being victim to the (literal) ups and downs of BPD. Please make a contract with someone (therapist, trusted friend or relative, spiritual guide) RIGHT AWAY that you will not harm yourself or another person. This is very important. Then when you feel like hurting/killing yourself, you can talk to this person to get through it. DON'T TRY TO GET THROUGH ALL THIS ALONE! Call the Samaritans hotline (see link in sources) if there's no one in your life you feel comfortable talking to. A total stranger saved my life about 15 years ago when I was in a deep depression and wanted to kill myself. The desire to love and be loved is so beautiful and natural. Getting a diagnosis like BPD can feel life-shattering. But many people with all kinds of problems find love and happiness. It does take work. :) Finally, some dating sites work for some people. I met someone on one and married her. It didn't end up working out, but that's life! The people on there are as real as you. Just be careful of scammers, and move slowly and carefully. And it's probably a good idea to wait until you feel better about yourself. It takes a healthy ego to go through the dating process. Focus on you, then on finding someone else. {{{{{{{Hugs}}}}}}}

Of course, that feeling is necessary for growth. I just saw something on television yesterday about how just before Mother Teresa died she didn't feel the presents of GOD. We ALL go though that, but what's in a feeling. God teaches us to live by the truth not by our feelings. Feelings can be misleading and cause much pain. Think about the world today in it's condition. To many of us live by our feelings. Feeling of anger, hate , despair, rage and even love if it's not a healthy balance can enable the one's we love. That's way God is our foundation and not the way we feel. And that's real.

God has better things to do than let us down. I think when one is down on their luck, they need to examine the choices that THEY made that led to where they are at.
Yes, occasionally random instances of mis-fortune DO happen, but those are few and far between.
Show me someone broke, drug addicted, homeless or otherwise down on their luck, and 99.9% of the time, I will show you someone who made bad choices in their life.
God didn't let them down, they let themselves down.
The good news is that almost any negative situation can be turned around. One just has to first take responsibility for one's actions, then decide on what they want to change, then put forth the effort to do just that. I'm not saying it's easy, but it is that simple.
Blaming others, or God, for one's misfortunes is almost a guarantee that they will continue to live like that as they aren't taking responsibility for their own happiness and success.

i used to feel like that when i was severely depressed and in active addiction. i was too busy blaming everyone else to take any kind of responsibility at that time. now i realize the importance of accountability and understand that its nobodys fault but my own if i make a bad choice or do the wrong thing. its not God's fault i messed up. i am all better now, thank God.

God never lets you down only your self.
Its sometimes hard to understand but sometimes you don't get things for some reason or another
try praying it works
God only gives you what you can handle

If I met God I would ask him what he was going to do about all the things that were wrong in the world.
Mind you, he might ask me the same question !

Yes.
I was having severe clinical depression earlier this year and I felt that God abandoned me.

all the time. (just kidding, I really believe that God can't let you down, because we are in charge of our lives. I mean destiny/fate can only take you so far)
