Q: 19 yrs old single mom with bipolar disorder, low self esteem

I have had enough of people and society. This is my last attempt to communicate with the rabble that never understands me. I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound mean to all people but my anger is what sustains me. Please! There must be someone out there who I can genuinely communicate with! I had a baby boy on July 10th and I have been trying so hard to keep at least one piece of my mind so my baby doesn't have a psycho for a mom.

Yeah, that's right, I'm 19 years old and a single mom. I was extremely promiscuous in high school because I didn't fit with everyone else. I have very bad social phobia and low self esteem. I wanted sex all the time and the stupid thing is I never even enjoyed it. I guess it made me feel some kind of acceptance or love. Now, the father of my baby has ignored me, avoided me since I was 6 months pregnant. I never leave the house because I am so scared I will run into those horrible people from high school. To make myself feel even more ugly, my breasts are ugly because of breastfeeding, my face breaks out more, etc. I am so ugly and stupid. Whenever I am with anybody (which is very rare) I am worrying the whole time that I must be boring and wierd to them. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder 4 years ago, no medicine helps, and its almost like one side of me gets me in horrible situations and unexpectedly I'll switch to a different side and that makes the whole situation worse and terrifying.

I don't know where to start. I can't claim to "understand' everything you are going through, but I can say i truly empathize. I have always felt like nobody "gets it". Now more than ever that is true for me. The fact that you are posting indicates that you want change. If all the meds and doctors you have tried did not help...try one more. 90% of the therapists i have encountered in my life seemed like morons. Not sure if they were or whether that is jus tpar for the course. All i know is that i was so close to suicide and decided to give one more a shot. He doesn't have all the answers, but he doesn't talk to me like I am stupid or incapable of making decsions that effect me more than anyone else.
