is feeling OK
I'm a student going into her freshman year in college, and scared out of my mind. I was diagonsed with bipolar disorder about a year ago, and i'm still slowly dealing with everything that comes along with it. I have a large family, who at times I love, and at times make me want to rip my hair out (Like all families). My dog is my best friend half the time 'cause she's the best dog in the world!!!! But that's just me...
I love to write, read, and ride horses. I am an olympic champion at sleeping, can/will anywhere/anytime. I like to think of myself as intelligent, with a large idiot streak. On my good days i'm a pretty chill chick :)

Hi LittleDani, Just wanted to reach out and say Hi. Welcome to the DS community! I hope ya like it here, and if you ever need a friend, feel free to reach out to me!
Hey, I'm glad you signed into this group to talk, it's important to have a support system of people around you that care and that are there for you. Hearing you vent reminds me of myself. Opening up to vent talking is the first step to progressing on this difficult journey. I feel you on everything you said but please make sure you talk to someone like a therapist / professional - I say that b/c I've been where you've been and it sounds like you have people around you that care about you and aouldn't want you to hurt yourself. Although medication is the last thing people want to get on (especially me) sometimes individuals need that to make it to another part of their journey in life be it just to feel better or to make them stop having harmful thoughts. I myself had to get on meds b/c I kept having self-destrutive / suicidal thoughts - and the meds actually worked, and to mention having to go in the hospital as well. All to say, never be afraid to weigh your options and try different methods, be consistent about it, until you see progress. I appreciate you being open, Know I'm praying for you.
TY for the hug and friend request!
