more suicidal and very lethargic... i tend to hold things in and then explode. I don't believe in SSRI's, I think they are given out like candy these days. I honestly think there is no treatment or cure for depression... there may be drugs that help but ultimately the depression still exists. I tend to spend lots of money at a time then feel guilty about it. I have a house full of stuff that I used to dull my mind but eventually it wears off and it just sits in a closet. I know it's not normal to have thoughts like I have, especially the suicidal ones. Considering life is so short in the spectrum of things anyhow. Honestly though, a lot of times I do fail to see the point of existance and fail to see who it would affect. Eventually we all become but memories and why not become a memory sooner rather than later.

a trait i inherited from my mother i am afraid... I am gonna give phenibut a try and stop relying on benzo's so much. Tommorow... well later today i am going to eat some motherfucking sushi and attempt to go to the gym. Strange how sushi with a lot of wasabi tends to work wonders on my attitude. I guess that qualifies as enjoying the little things in life.

You are wrong. Depression can be cured. If you are truly feeling the way you do and having the thoughts you are, then I really suggest professional help. it work, it really does. there is no reason to live your life at the bottom of a well. I admit it is not an easy or quick process but when you come out the other side you will be grateful you did (and alive).

Are you seeking professional help? Darlin', DO IT.
Everyone experiences difficulties at one time or another. That's just life. However, perception is a powerful tool. Bipolar is A REAL PHYSICAL DISORDER. If your brain does not function properly there is no way that your perception of life's events will be positive, especially when you need it most; not when everything is groovy - but when shit is thick.
Answer me this:
If you had diabetes, lupus, cancer, etc would you not take medication because you didn't want to be "dependent" (or some other such stuff)?
IT IS A PHYSICAL AILMENT and not just "looking at things the wrong way".

Yep.
The brain of a depressed/suicidal indiviual is physically different than the brain of a non-depressed/suicidal individual.
A symptom of depression is believing that treatment will not work, yet, the success rate for treatment of depression/suicial tendencies is very high. Receiving proper treatment is another story altogether though. Too many quacks are all too quick to prescribe some SSRI's and send their patients on their way.
High dose fish oil.
Study showing the effectiveness of fish oil in bipolars.
Probably explains the sushi thing as well since fresh sushi is loaded with EPA/DHA.
goodluck

I'm also not so sure that there is some glorious point or purpose to our existance. There's an awful lot of stuff going on in this world, and for the most part you're free to choose which parts of it you'd like to take part in. Example...if you really, really like skiing then you have to arrange your life so that you make enough money at work to cover your living expenses and the expenses and time involved with skiing. You could replace skiing with weightlifting, dancing, volunteer work, playing the guitar, whatever.
My point is that you have to make some choices about what you'd like to do with yourself and then structure the rest of your life so that you're able to do those things. Life is a big playground with lots of choices and options, the key is that you have to make a choice about what you'd like to do..and then go after it!
Pills by themselves can be ok for someone who's suffering from general malaise, but if your problems are heavier then therapy might be in order along with the pills.
