I'm bipolar... medications were not working, now... everybody left me... I live alone in a little 1 bdrm. apartment...
And they leave so subtly... one day they are around, then slowly they start to cut me off... before I know it, they just disappear, never answer a phone call, an e-mail, or an IM... now I've got nobody... my parents are over seas, my friends all hate me...
but I guess this is just my side of the story... each of my friends probably has their own legitimate reason for why they hate me:
* Can't make conversation
* Too negative
* Too crazy
* Kind of creepy
* Too obsessed
* Jerk
I guess people don't want to deal with it... could I be THAT bad? Oh, well… I guess I’ll just go about my college life and finish my “crap degree” (as my parents put it) in Philosophy… was college life not supposed to be fun and vibrant? Nothing is happening? and I do get out... I make some friends, but as soon as they know me, they leave...

Awww, i'm sorry to hear that you are feeling down. I really think that you should have a heart-to-heart with your closest friends. Maybe they do not understand your condition? Do they not know how serious being Bipolar is?? You should really spill out the facts and give these people all of the details about the uniqueness of your special personality. When you open up about everything, they should especially understand your situation and be very forgiving for any aggravation you cause(d) them. I had a friend with the exact problem, and she told me everything she was feeling so that I knew what was really going on. You're not crazy and make sure that you tell these people that it isn't your fault that that you aren't normal. God has made nobody perfect and you are especially one of his prime examples to anyone proving that they're not either. I hope that you cherish the gift God has given you and make others realize that you are deep person who really cares. Good luck to you! I wish you the best!

Being bi-polar is no picnic for those that have it and those around them. Medications are critical to your well-being and can slow the roller coaster down to a nice cruising speed rather than warp speed. Much attention must be paid to the subtle changes any new medication brings and must be changed when needed.
One of my best friends is bi-polar and so is my daughter. They both experience it differently, so there is no rule of thumb in medicating. Your friends don't hate you Joe, they just don't know what to do with you and how to be around you. Yes, you CAN be that bad but it's not just you! I've been around my good friend when she is in manic episode and I can tell you that it feels as though I'm losing my mind sometimes. You need to be seen in therapy at least once a week and once a month or more for medication updates.
Joe, please get yourself into see someone. If you already are and it's not working for you, perhaps you should go elsewhere. You can make this work and enjoy life as it was meant to be lived. I know you can!

Maybe if you would stop thinking of all the negative issues, and just start thinking more positive. This will help you to be more open because you would feel more better about yourself. Everything that happens in a persons life isn't always good, but we know it happened for a reason. Your not a bad person, you just need to look on the bright side. I also feel th same way at times, but then there are days I have more confidence in myself. When i feel better about myself, people enjoy being around memore. I am sorry you feel this way. You need someone to talk to about your feelings. I hope you the best of luck.

Hey dont get down on yourself. You know the only way to actually better ANY situation is to think positive and look on the bright side of things. Never feel sorry for yourself.
I want you to take every negative thought that ever comes into you brain and turn into a positive even if you have to force yourself to that.
Try to better yourself everyday. Go read a book that helps you build self-confidence. Believe me if you do this, it will help every aspect of your life.
No matter what the situation is, you have two choices!! you can choose to be happy and learn from what happened, or you can feel sorry forself and make things worse! Its up to you man and only YOU change.
Remember this life is suppose to be fun. Try not to take it too seriously. Yeah we do have trials and tribulations and sometimes life is tough, but you need to learn to have fun and enjoy life. Live it up brotha!
Oh yeah, maybe you should join a church or something, they will always care for you and be your friend. LDS people or Mormons are very friendly.
Keep on keepin on!

If they leave, they aren't worthy of being your friend anyway.
What you've described sounds very painful for you, and I feel for you. :(
I wish people would step off their high horse and help each other out once in a while.
Just do what YOU want to do. It's your life. Crap degree? How un-supportive and demeaning. DON'T listen to their trash talk. Be someone, make something of yourself and put all of those others that left, to shame.

You are wrong.
Nobody hates you.
That would mean they actually care about you. They don't.
They're too obsessed with what everybody thinks about them.
Once you graduate from I Am The Centre of The Universe School you will find this incredibly liberating.

Why don't you see a Doctor who can help you..what about a therapy..but you must help yourself too. You can't blame people for leaving you,you knew the reason why.But in due time,you'll soon have someone who can understand you and can able to handle the situation well. Just keep trying to cure yourself or control if you can.

No, I am sure you are not at all bad...
There are groups for men with bipolar depression. You can find them through your local GP, or on the internet.
Have you ever thought about joining one of those groups?
I'm sure you would make lots of friends at a men's group! Not only are they ALL in the same predicament as you, but more importantly - they WONT judge you!
Good luck there sweety - keep that chin up!

Thats a shame-Forget them! if they want to be like that let em' at least you got us and God. So the best thing to do is still be yourself. Don't change for nobody. Only change if YOU want to change. You might have to just try to be a friend to people at your school or if you meet them on the street. I don't want to send you to a website. So once again be yourself.
