i could write a book on my mental health history which has spanned over years and started with anorexia in my teenage years. Having suffered domestic abuse over several years I finally snapped and had a full on breakdown in 2004. I had to leave my job and became so depressed I attempted suicide twice but failed. Then I became a full on marriage wrecker taking pleasure out of seducing other people’s husbands just to prove that all men are bast**ds obviously lost my friends and again everythingvspiralled out of control. I’ve had codnitive therapy psychotherapy strong medication and now I find myself in so much debt I don’t know which way to turn. Everything in my life seems to have been like a downward spiral and I think I may have come to the very bottom

I’m sorry to hear how much you’ve struggled.
Firstly, why do you believe your manic? As the title suggests. If you are having manic episodes but are treated for just depression then the medication may not have been correct for your symptoms. You may need a stabilizer. You may even have a mixed episode where you feel both manic but low in mood. It’s typical of someone with bipolar disorder.
Please go chat to your GP, however we are always here to listen too xx

Hello Julie. There are no winners in mental health. That's my opinion. I hope you will forgive me for putting words in your mouth but I don't think that you woke up one morning and decided to start wrecking people's marriages and making other mistakes. Did you.? If I understand correctly that happened after a full breakdown. Now I have had family members that I love and adore that have had breakdowns and it was in the day when we didn't have these great meds that we have today. Back to you I do not think that you get over that overnight. You are not ignoring your issues you're in therapy trying to help yourself. Way to go! Some day you must let go of the "guilt" that is breaking your heart! Julie be kind to yourself and give yourself some time to grieve your losses. That includes your childhood and the losses due to your mental issues. I am so thankful that you are still here. Diane

Hi I wonder if you are bi polar too? I haven't got this but know 2 of the main symptoms are risk taking and serial sleeping round is common as is gambling and ending up in debt.
I think you need to see your doctor and tell her/him and ask for a referral to a counsellor. You may have a wrong diagnosis of just depression.x
