For me it probably will. Due to a new medication at the end of 2020 I had some hope for 2021. I was not super optimistic but I had some hope. One of my main problem is to find a way to get money. First I tried giving private teaching this even worked. But I did it only 3 hours a week. This nourished my hope.

I had 1000 job interviews it was super exhausting because I am a really bad liar and the pressure I have is unbelievable.
Finally I had a test piece. After one week I had to stop. It made insanely depressed and my performance was abyssmal. I left because I did not want to get fired (again). Then my therapists encouraged me to go to college once again. I told them I would become manic again but they said I have to try it. This little hope was the best time of the year. 3 months before the college started. Though this changed after one month. I was so excited that I developed severe sleeping disorder. A sign for a new manic episode. Since 3,5 months I am now in crisis mode, I need a lot of sleep medication every single night in order to sleep. It is very dangerous and I am really instable.

In the beginning from 2022 the exams will come I think I will collapse. If that happens I have to ctb. Even if I stop before that. My last hope is gone and I will give up. The illnesses have won. People tell me this illnsesses must not determine your life. But what shall I do??? I am extremely fragile. Espcially since I am in crisis mode. Many human interaction made manic lst week. No joke my bipolar self-help group made me manic. Meeting someone for lunch at college made me manic either. I am trapped and this is my prison.
I think 2022 will be worse. Maybe I can go to a clinic next year. The last 7 years I was 6 times in a clinic except 2021. Thank you German health care but tbh I would rather like to die.

If I don't CTB then yes, as I know for a fact that with each year life gets worse and worse. I already have bad financial situation and it probably won't improve by next year. Can't risk.

yes. every year is worse than the last for me, even when I think it can't get any worse.

I'm sorry you're going through this. I wish you the best.

I do not know what will happen in the future but in a life like this things can always get much worse. I am very tired of living, the way I see it, life is just suffering. Things will only get better for me when I die as then I will be unable to experience anything.

I'd sure hope not. 😭 If I actually make it to the end of 2022, I'll know for a matter-of-fact whether it's time to fully commit to CTB.

Dear Noname,
Es tut mir Leid für all dein Leiden.
Bipolar is terrible.
Studying in Germany is really hard. People mean well to you, but If It is causing such stress, why not take a smooth alternative? I am not talking about CTB, but making life easier for yourself. Everybody needs to work, but there are other alternatives than getting a degree and going to a regular Job. You could start selling things on the internet. Just an Idea. It is important for you to get stable and better.
I Hope you get well.

Probably not as I plan to CTB as soon as it turn 2022. If I don't, I don't know. This was a horrific year for me and it would take something pretty terrible to top this year.

Have you considered converting your teaching to online subscription type service. I don't know what your expertise is but if you're good at anything at all you can break it down into a series of simple videos and put it online for sale to anyone search to learn that specific thing. While that's up you could learn new things to make 'tutorials' on and put those up for sale too. There's a good market for diy and art based tutorials but really any niche will have some demand. It minimises interaction with people generally but allows you some passive income. Just a thought.

Yes it will. I even have a deadline imposed on me against my will. I will have to CTB before the end of January or find out how to deal with a problem instead of ignoring it.

I try to have regular normal job. I already sold stuff on the internet. (Things I don't need anymore.)
My therapists pushed me into the direction of a normal job. Otherwise they think the income is not stable / good enough.

I never thought this could work. Secretly I rather hoped to find a gf. Because me and working seems impossible. My brain gets very ill from it. And very rapidly. I do not meet many women in college. My group consists of men mostly. Thouh even if I meet girls I am too akward and have no self-esteem.

Sorry, but I think your therapists are mistaken. First of all, they should try to help you get your nerves better. Life is about more than just money and work. Sure, we need money, but health comes First.
And they should worry about getting the most adequate medication, psycanalysis and means of treatment before pushing you "in the real world". Work up you self-esteem so It will be easier for you to meet girls.
I treat my depression with meds and analysis. Without treatment, I would not be able to get up every morning. If your treatment is not working, It is maybe the time to change health professionals.
I read some good PDF books on bipolar disorder that one of SS members provided a link to. If you wish, I can PM to you.
With love,

Not really, a lot of the stuff I'm excited for is going to happen in 2022 including my suicide. This year overall just felt kind of stagnant for me since I didn't really do much of anything.

If I stick it out and keep myself alive for 2022 I hope it'll be a better year. There's some cool stuff happening, Avatar 2, a holiday, some concerts. I think it'll be alright.
