Woah.............. OK, yes you seem to be in a downward spiral, that is clear. However, you are not in a loosing situation. There are very FEW mental conditions that cannot be helped by the right meds. True, sometimes you have to be persistant and vigilent to get them to see where you are. I do NOT think that you are in a hole that is so deep that you cannot get out of it. True, your perspective may make you feel that way. You have a myriad of options. I would procede something like this: get with you Pdoc to get you meds right. It may take several months, and you will DEFINITELY have to be persistant. You cannot give up on this! Second, I would suggest that you share your feelings with this board. I am positive that there are others here who have been in similar or worse situations, and have been able to climb back out. Third, I would recommed that you attend some sort of group that has an accountability program. Most are free, if you look hard enough. If you are unable to find one, contact your local mental health department and they should be able to steer you in the right direction. You know, life can be funny. For a period of time we may be on top of the world (or at least getting by fairly well) and then BOOM! You can fall like a meteorite. You are only 29 years old, how can you be so definate that you are going to die as some lonely person? Choice, choice is the ONLY thing that is standing in your way. You DO have the power to be better, but you may have to ask yourself this question: "Do you WANT to be healed?". So many of us have become content in our world of crap, because at least we are familiar about it. We are afraid of the unknown, so we CHOOSE to stay within a KNOWN EVIL. This is emotional suicide! You DO have a choice, and that is "do you WANT to be well, do you WANT to be healed?" You have to think long and hard about this. It is too easy to make excuses why we cannot change our ways. But these are but tissue paper lies we convince ourselves to be true. Make a move, take a chance. What do you have to lose? Please let me know if I can help you. There is no reason to feel alone. No one is alone in less it is THEIR choice. There are many here who will help advise you. They truly CARE. Give it a try.
