Hey all having trouble with a relationship and dealing with depression my partner also suffers from depression
hey, im jay. i'm here because things are getting bad again, and i want to try and get better without a hospital this time. i keep getting the feeling i need to cry but i can't. they say everyone has someone they can talk to but i don't. i'm struggling with severe depression, anxiety, bpd, and ptsd.

Welcome to 7 Cups. There's lots of caring people here. You can pm a listener to chat just about any time. None of this can take the place of real therapist though. I hope you have someone there to turn to also. Years ago I've gone to a hospital for more help too. Wasn't a bad experience, definitely different. I prefer to stay out of the hospital though. I know it's there for me as an option if things get real bad for me, but I've learned a lot over the years. It's all about applying what I've learned, and making good choices. Hope things work out well for you. 😊

New members, welcome!
Hi there!I am just wanting someone to listen
I think I have social anxiety. When I reach out to people, it seems to drive them away making me feel worse.
@Hope...I'd like to talk about the angry side of bipolar...the venomous snake that happens when I'm moving between episodes. I want to shake this feeling that I'm not the only alcholic with bipolar. I'm not doing good and I reach out to all these websites and they are about cats and lawn decor....read a room....not what I need help with right now.
Hi @bluePlane8270. I'm sorry to hear you've felt let down by other websites - I've been in that position, and it can be really hard to reach out only to find that the people you're reaching out to don't really "get" it or only have toxic positivity to offer. 😟
Reaching out to a listener can be really helpful when you need to vent; it might take a few tries to find someone who clicks with you, so don't be afraid to ask to talk to someone else if you feel the person isn't helping. You can also check out listeners' profiles and look under the "categories" section to see what issues they have lived experience of (look for the yellow star) - that way, you can pick a listener who has bipolar themselves if you think it would help.
We also have a "Bipolar, Schizophrenia & Psychosis Support" sub-community where you can talk to other members going through similar issues: https://www.7cups.com/home/bipolar/
