Question: Is there ever an end to the pain you feel from Depression or Bipolar disorder!?
I've been suffering from Depression for years!. I am 23!. I have social anxiety disorder and I don't have many friends!. I have sleep apnea, had for about 5 years at least!. And I think I could be bipolar but it could be affects from the sleep apnea!.
The thing is, I'm constantly in pain!. If its not the headaches its the 'heart' aches - the I-don't-know-how-to-describe-it pains deep inside resulting from emotional turmoil!.
I feel like I can't trust my own feelings or emotions, they change so much!. Some times I feel like I'm getting better, I have hope, then the next day its reversed and I feel so !.!.!. there isn't a word!. I hate this existence because every waking moment during the bad times is like a torture and each second ticks passed abnormally slow!. And the 'good' times are fake - side effects of a broken brain; mania!.
I can't take this anymore but I have no money to fix these things, holding a job is !.!.!. impossible, let alone finding one!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I take antidepressants for my depression and it truly helps!. I know some people say medications are just a money-making scheme of the drug companies!. But those people just want an excuse to avoid getting better!.

I'm sorry things are so hard for you!. :(
All I can say is what I tell my other friends when they're down--it is the good times that count!. In life there's never a "permanent happiness," but happiness will always come again, no matter how bleak things seem!.
I don't really think the good times are necessarily "fake!." Maybe you're making things seem more bleak than they need to be by assuming that your happiness is the result of mania!.
As far as I know, both the highs and the lows of bipolar disorder change the way the brain responds to positive or negative stimuli; if you have periods of responding disproportionately to bad stimuli, it only seems fair that you'd get the same thing for good stimuli!. Try not to be so hard on yourself about the good times; just because you have a disorder that can interfere with your life doesn't mean the good times are fake!. :)

I'm sorry to tell you this, but the only way to fix the problem, other than medication (which only mask problems, not fix them), is to fix yourself!. Often the problem revolves around a very self-centered way of thinking!. And often that thinking is base on a victim perspective!. "I have 'whatever' wrong with ME!." "Things like 'whatever' always happens to ME!." "I feel this way (and that way is seldom good)" "Woes ME!."
One of the very best things you can do is to volunteer for organizations like The Red Cross, or the Salvation Army!. Unlike jobs, you don't HAVE to be there!. There's also so hard up for help, they're very unlikely to refuse an offer to help out!. If you occupy yourself with helping others, you might find you have something really worth while to feel good about!. You'll put yourself in a position where you're constantly surrounded by people who appreciate you and your efforts!. You'll also get to see a lot of people with very difficult lives who are still 'making it work', and they might give you some insight on the good parts of your life your ways of thinking haven't let you see!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
