I'm new here......I feel like I'm drowning....

[canadiangurl_77]

Hi everyone....I have been battling bipolar disorder for close to 10 years now. I cry as I type this. I'm a single mother of a 6 year old son and am on disability due to Crohn's Disease. I wake up each morning in a panic, I can't sleep, the most I've eaten in the past two days is 10 crackers. I don't really have an outlet to vent....don't get me wrong, I do have a friend or two to talk to, but I'm sure they're sick and tired of hearing the same shit. Relationship wise, well I'm divorced, tomorrow will mark 4 years since we split up. I've had one boyfriend after my split-he turned out to be an alcohlic and physically abused me. I have a hard time trusting people, my guard is always up and always expect the worst in every situation. The past few weeks, I feel like I have been drowning. So that's me in a nut shell....*sigh*

Hi....thanks for your response. Yes, some say I'm brave and strong-but I guess that's just me putting on my "happy face".....and most importantly, the "happy face" comes out strong when I have my son-I have him 1/2 the time. He's very sensitive-he gets that from me......hope you're having a great day!
