Want to hear similar stories about bipolar disorder.?
I’m currently 25 years old and I have bipolar disorder. My problems deal with cognition deficits such as being unable to recall large chunks of information read. I’m always tired and exhausted. I don’t find pleasure in sex. All this started at the age of 20. I’m taking the medications Abilify, Lithium Carbonate, and Trazadone. It is really depressing. I’m unable to hold down a job because I’m constantly making errors due to the cognitive deficits. My family are getting tired of supporting me. I really don’t know what to do. I don’t have anywhere to turn. I might end up homeless or worst dead.

I was diagnosed Bipolar at 19 and am 35 now. I held down a job up until a year ago. The type of job that seemed to work for me was one with a lot of repetition and calculations. Mortgage business.
I was unable to finish college because I had a hard time with reading and recalling large chunks of information.
If you really can’t function at all. Then think about looking into Social Security Disability.

It’s easy to becoome overwhelmed by circumstances. Don’t lose hope I agree that you may just need to have your medication adjusted. There are several different meds that help, sometimes it may take a few different try’s to find the right combination. There is always hope, don’t give up.
