Family help: Noone understands me…and by that I mean everytime I try - Help.com

Noone understands me…

and by that I mean everytime I try to open up to someone close to me they always tell me I’m the strong one and that I’ll figure it out…or that I don’t need help I’m just freaking out. I was currently diagnosed (it’s been two years) with Manic Depression and I feel like even though I’ve confided in my family and my fiance’ I’m going through this all alone. It’s not just my paranoia I honestly don’t have anyone to talk to. Noone knows what I’m talking about half the time anyway. I don’t know how to make it any clearer…I feel alone and enclosed in my head and I have no escape!!!! Talking to a therapist doesn’t cut it, he doesn’t know me personally and I can only talk so much in an hour. What should I do and how do I ease my mind about all of this? Shooting myself is not an option because I’m 6 months pregnant and looking forward to giving birth to the only person in the world who just maybe understand me.

I’m not sure what to say that can help but if you want to talk I will listen and help as best I can :)

Well first are your meds straight, if not get them straight, it could take a while but its worth it, (trust me my dad is bipolar and he caused some major damages when he was manic, you wanna get it straightened out before it gets to bad). Next you should probably ask your counselor about their self so you can know them and they can know you or get a new one. also you can talk to me if you need someone to rant to or confide in. =)

I went through this. Im the mother of 3 little boys. How long has this been going on?
Bottom line. Dont let someone tell you what you are. Diagnosis are BS.
Its okay to be depressed. Its okay to feel alone. Everyone gets there.
I suggest exercising. I know it sounds stupid but it really helped me. The endorphins gave me a much needed boost and made delivery much easier.
At this point in your pregnancy, if you think you need the help.. Try Zoloft. It wont harm the baby and could help you mentally. I also used that. It help balance your thoughts and your moods.
Sometimes opening up to people is depressing in itself. Sometimes no matter who you spoke to, you feel like that dont get you.
Thanks normal. You are oOober hormonal and that makes for crazy ladies.
Breathe!!! Everything is going to be okay.. And if not, there is always disappearing over night and starting over! Hahahaha
I feel you, just breathe. If you need someone, Im here.

Have you tried telling the people in your life what you’ve told us? Even the strongest of us need support from loved ones and your circle needs to know that. Maybe you could ask the next person you talk to just listen and let you get your concerns off of your chest. Since your preganant they probably are taking everything you say with a grain of salt (hormoes and all that) but you’re still entitled to someone to confide in.

I know what it is like to feel like you are alone in what you are going through. I suffer from panic attacks and no one know except my bf so I don’t have any one to talk to because i am trying not to talk to my bf as much because I don’t want to be a burden but I don’t have any one else to talk to. I find posting your feelings/issues on here is a big help when feeling alone.

The best and only true remedy is not a drug or anything else but Christ! He is the only one that can make it better!

you will not find peace when you look outside yourself
you will need to look inside yourself and be not afraid to find out who the real YOU is.
