Hi πββοΈ I have been diagnosed with Bipolar for 24 years. Over that time I have learnt to reduce /manage the really self destructive aspects of hypo. However, the depression cycles have become longer and harder to get out of, particularly since lockdowns in 2019. I am becoming increasingly isolated. Currently I have not slept properly at night (if at all) since mid December. Hoping this group will provide some sense of community and constructive suggestions. Thanks.

Hi everyone,
I joined this forum as I find it hard expressing how Iβve been feeling to the people close to me.
For a long time Iβve felt like this but Iβve found a consistent way of distracting myself through a focus on my career. Iβm diagnosed adhd and an ed, and have struggled with depression and anxiety my whole life as well. I guess Iβm just reaching out as I feel incredibly lonely and lost and donβt really know what to do with this pressure Iβve put on myself as my career has become my identity and when Iβm finding it difficult, I start to question what I really want to do with my life and worry about the guilt I would feel to both myself and my family and friends if I decide to discover another path. What if this is really what I want to do and choosing another path will fill me with regret for what I could have been a capable of? What if this is something Iβve just chosen because I felt I owed it to my family to pursue this as they did so much for me and never had the chance to do something like this themselves? I feel very lost and most of all, I feel exhausted.
I donβt know if this made any sense, but I wanted to thank the moderators and creators of this platform, but also the kind people that read all of these posts.
