is death my destiny?

Technically death is everyone's destiny.

If you consider your life a dream life what causes you to feel unhappy?

Ah, that makes sense. I think mental illness messes things up for a lot of us. Feel free to reach out if you want a friend or someone to talk to.

In a way I guess wanting to die is a good thing as its what will happen to us all eventually. Instead of fearing death you can make peace with it.

Do you always want to die or just some of the time? I think there is a difference, escpecially if you are bipolar. In some cases its truly the disease talking, but if you have those thoughts even in your moments of "happyness" then that should tell you more about yourself.

I always feel it

I understand that completely. I'm sure it's horrible to live with that, being at the mercy of it. You have my sympathy.

Other than the fact that everyone dies, no, I don't think it's your destiny.

I also have bipolar and have felt this way before. I'm not there right now, but I do have an idea how you're feeling.

Pardon me for asking, but do you take meds for your bipolar? I ask because the most suicidal I ever was, I was sectioned into the hospital and they changed my meds some and it really made a huge difference.

I now take lithium and it is the best drug to shut off the suicidality in folks with bipolar. If you are not opposed to meds, you might want to ask your doctor about it. Don't be scared off about levels and blood tests and such. I went straight to a therapeutic level and get blood drawn every six months now, which is nothing - I don't even have to fast.

Hang in there. It's hard, but it can be better for a lot of us.

Brilliant.

If you think your life is a "dream life", that's great! You have something to live for, a lot of us don't. You're very lucky. Life is a blessing and if you still have some will to live in there, you should hold in to it.
Consider seeing a doctor or a therapist if you have the time and money. Maybe join a support group of some kind? I don't have much experience with people who have bipolar, but I'm sure you could get some medicine that would help your state of mind. If you're already on medicine and you still feel like this, perhaps tell your doctor about it, the medicine may not work for you.

Hi:
How long did Lithium take to work? I am borderline and they have given me a lithium substitute. They told me in 3 months it would work and I don´t feel such a big difference.
