Hi Chris,
From one Bipolar sufferer to another. I am really sorry about your situation and understand the heart wrenching grief caused from mental health illnesses. I too sufferred and lost eveyone and everything I had, including my self esteem. I claw my way out of bed with the help of lithium but still after a year my doc is still trying to find the right cocktail of meds.
Please join support groups for mental health and see your psychatrist as scheduled. Talk to a community health support worker to give you extra support. A supportnetwork of mental health workers and communicating with others who have mental health illnrsses. After I hear their stories, I don't feel so alone. My esteem is really bad for many reasons but I just try, cry and live a very marginalized life and grieving the life I wanted and thought I would have. Since my diagnosis, two years ago and I am fifty next month; I was sick with psychosis, delusions. Believe me I lost everything.
Try your best to get supports for yourself. And keep talking to others who are like us.
So sorry again, I know this is really hard. Keep in touch.
