Question by Dazed and Confused: What could come of someone w Manic Depression keeping it a secret and leaving it untreated?
I have a friend who confessed her condition with me. She hasn’t told anyone else, and she refuses to do any kind of treatment because she says meds make her feel unlike herself. I recently learned that manic depression is degenerative and I’m really worried. Would I break her trust by talking about my feelings with someone else? Should I voice my thoughts and suggestions or will she get offended?

Hi
Well, I would talk with her and tell
her that depression is something she can’t
help. She isn’t herself if she is depressed,
there are many different kinds of medicine
that will treat her depression and will make
her like new again. I know because that was
me. When a doctor tells her it’s not her fault
its’ chemical and she just needs to get them
balanced. He will say I can help you feel better and he will. Good Luck and thanks for
being such a good friend, she needs you.

Hey, i’m 16 and i think i have manic depression :/
I just feel like everyone’s against me, and i get depressed with my appearance (even though everyone tells me i’m pretty), you know, when you feel ugly all the time. I get depressed with my love life, just feel like no one wants me and that i’m no good. Feel like i’m alone, and at school, i’m just in the middle and i’m not amazingly popular, just in the middle. I sometimes feel suicidal, and i usually think negative, because i feel that nothing ever goes right with me, and that the whole world is against me and that i’ve done something to deserve all the bad stuff

Please can someone help me i don’t want to keep feeling like this, it’s destroying what should be the best years of my life. Even though my friends and family are there for me, i hardly ever feel really happy.
