I'm really sorry you're struggling with this so much. Bipolar disorder is such a tough thing to deal with, especially at your age. I know it must feel like you're stuck in this endless loop that you can't escape. The mood swings, the depression, the suicidal thoughts - that's got to be so draining and overwhelming.

The fact that your meds aren't helping is really frustrating. I can understand why you'd want to just make it all go away for good. But the truth is, bipolar disorder is a lifelong condition that you have to manage, not a temporary problem that can just disappear.

That said, there are ways to get it under better control and find more stability. Here are a few suggestions that might help:

- Talk to your doctor about adjusting your medication or trying a different approach. It can take time to find the right combo that works for you.
- Seek out therapy, especially cognitive behavioral therapy. Having someone to talk to and give you coping strategies can make a big difference.
- Practice self-care - get enough sleep, eat healthy, exercise regularly. Taking care of your overall wellbeing can help stabilize your moods.
- Build a strong support system of family and friends who understand what you're going through.
- Look into support groups so you can connect with others dealing with bipolar disorder.

This isn't going to be a quick fix, but with the right treatment plan and lifestyle changes, you can learn to manage your bipolar disorder and reduce the severity of your symptoms. I know it feels hopeless right now, but you CAN get to a better place. Don't give up.

In the meantime, please reach out to a trusted adult or call a suicide prevention hotline if you're having thoughts of self-harm. Your life is precious and you deserve support. Hang in there, you've got this.

Stop taking meds! Anti-depressing medicines are blocking your emotions which is not something you would wanne do!

You can't cure depression with medicines! You just have to be strong and fight true the hard feelings day by day.

Meds will kill you before they will cure you

You don't that is the whole point of mental disorder!

You learn to change meds till you find one that helps and fixes it. That or kill yourself

It's not fair it's life!

You can’t make depression magically go away , you have to have medication or go to therapy for that. Be careful and go over the side affects of your medications , I’ve hallucinated on Zoloft in the past , some are stronger than others.

I'm sure they have medications for that. See a psychologist tomorrow or ASAP.

You're stick with it for life. Just remember to find the right meds and maybe talk to a therapist if you need one. You're gonna be okay.
