I am bipolar, the feeling of wanting to live but not wanting to live isn’t anything like feeling suicidal. To me it doesn’t feel like I want to die, I feel like I want not not exist, never have existed, and anything I did in life not to exist.

[@SariennMusic73]

There is a huge difference between feeling suicidal "life sucks and I want to die" and BEING suicidal "actually commits". Those dark black thoughts are horrible and I've been there. Hugs. I love life and I don't want to leave it I just hate and loathe the blackness of bipolar depression.

I pray that you find peace and joy, please know there's nothing wrong with you. This is demonic oppression. It's sad because people feel like this is them feeling this way or thinking "I don't want to live" but those are not actually their thoughts. The Bible says in Ephisians 6:12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world. Grab your Bible, it's your sword in battle, become knowledgeable of scriptures that declare life and joy, read them out loud over and over and speak them over yourself when you feel depressed or feeling like not living. A scripture I like is the one that says for Jesus came so we can have life abundantly. The Bible is your sword, read it everyday, spend time with Jesus and He will set you free.

I have a friend who’s bipolar. No matter the treatment, the terrible depression was unmitigated. Lithium cut down the highs but she was left so depressed she couldn’t eat, sleep or get out of bed. She decided she’d rather have the swings; at least she’d be up sometimes. Gradually she began to even out, and her life’s fairly normal now. I saw her terrible struggles and my heart goes out to you.

Feeling like you want to end it all because you’ve lost your motivation and passion for everything you used to love and enjoy and then knowing it’s because of something you can’t control sucks ass, because you know you love doing those things but you just can’t feel it at the moment. Eventually you’ll come out of your depression (however long that takes) and you’ll love things again. I hate being on top of the world for weeks to feeling like complete shit for months. It’s a hard enough life already without having to fight your own mind. Stay safe man!

The term "Crashed" comes from the culture of amphetamine users. You go from feeling good and having lots of energy to having no energy and feeling awful. It makes sense that the bipolar disorder community has taken it on. Being bipolar is kind of like having a meth lab in your brain, but with no control over when it comes on or off.

[@gabysamaan8865]

First I respect you for how you deal with Bipolar. I don't have Bipolar, but I know exactly how it feels because I had a drug-induced Bipolar. I have an immune system disease. when I have been diagnosed with the disease, my doctor gave me a high dose of cortisol. this hormone made me Hypomanic after one week, and I kept being Hypomanic for 3 months. It was a very pleasant experience: High self-confidence, intense focus, fast mind, assertiveness, racing thoughts, I got more interested with my look, I was talking so fast and I have no patience, ... and you know the rest. After that, my doctor started to reduce the dose of cortisol. First, there was no mania, then I started to getting down ,Slowly, as the dose decreases. And then, within one week, I crashed. I entered a very severe depression, there was no hope in life, no point of living, I could not sleep for more than 3 hours a day, sleeping was hard, a compete fatigue, beside suicide thoughts that were hard to shake out of my mind, because I love life. My suffer ended by a psychiatrist who gave me an anti-depression until I finished the cortisol course, and I was normal again. From the first week of cortisol treatment, I noticed the change in me, and researched about cortisol side effect and knew that I had a drug-induced bipolar. But when it comes to depression, it was impossible to fight alone, because nothing worked: going out with friends, listening to pop music all the time, watching funny videos and laugh, working out (even it was hard to do). It was always, my mood get little improved, then back to depression cycle. So, again .... I RESPECT you For living with bipolar. you are strong man.

Thank you for sharing your struggles and insight on what you go through. I didn't have bipolar but I had severe depression for most of my life and I understand when you talk about wanting to live but also wanting to die. I had several attempts to end my life and went through numerous crisis/counselling programs and antidepressants. Just over 5 years ago I was introduced to a couple who are councilor's that have a ministry called Anazao Ministry, they are based in Australia and travel parts of the world teaching and bringing healing. I was at the end of myself when I reluctantly tried ' another' thing - and after 4 days became completely healed and have had NO depression at all since. For the first time in my life I felt 'normal'. It had always been hard to live up to the expectation of getting well in the past. Now I am. This ministry is available - there is a way. I hope this helps someone like it has helped me - it has changed my life and I am so thankful❤
