Greywolf, I hear you too. (I'm BP2 and have GAD.) It really feels like I am getting nowhere, or even backwards. The strain of "keeping up appearances" is enormous. I look at homeless people on the street and I can completely see myself ending up there if I $#@! up.
You are a tremendously strong person. Protective of others. I too am looking for a handle to grasp on to, to pull me out of the depths. I can't concentrate at work, I can't follow conversations, and totally put myself down constantly. There has to be a way to grapple with this depression.
And when the hypomania kicks in, I can tackle the whole world, with one hand tied behind my back. With both hands tied behind my back. On one foot! Grrrrr-uff!
