It's refreshing to find a place I can speak about this informally without judgement and I appreciate this place for existing. That said, I feel so tired of existing like this. Having suffered from Bipolar 1 most of my adult life I blamed most of my latent suicidal ideation on a lack of treatment and the life that came with it and that maybe if I could get past this I wouldn't feel this way anymore. So much for that; I'm more fortunate than many in that I now have a great job, a wonderful partner and an otherwise very promising future yet I feel more hopeless than I did prior. Maybe I am realizing now that this wasn't something preventable but instead just the way I'm wired.
