I alway am either sad or depressed. My mom isn’t helping either with the bipolar attacks he has. So all of my sadness, depression and negotiate feelings are being bottled in an I’ve acted happy for so Lon I can’t let it out! I’ve tried crying but that only helps for a little bit. I’m stressed about school and home, I can’t sleep without forcing myself to, and to top it all off I can’t exasperating it. I’m trapped at home with my actually bipolar mother and can’t let my feeling out. It is so bad I have head aches every day because of it. Please help me. And Medicean is out because If I tell they will think I’m just like my mom! This is driving me insane! What can I do?

Whenever it gets really bad, take a deep breath. And then find somewhere you can relax, if possible. I know its scary, feeling like there's no one you can talk to, but if you ever need someone to vent to, just message me, and I'll help in any way I can, even if it's just to listen.

Sorry to hear that you are in such a terrible situation, but it is great that you are standing strong, even if you are being tested now. From what I hear, you have more frustration than sadness going on right now. The best way to kinda ease the pressure is to let it out. Try physical exercise (definitely helps) or taking a bath or reading a book. You need to relax, everybody does. As an immediate tip: stay well hydrated and bring routine into your life. Organization and figuring things out will help you feel less stressed.About getting rid of sadness, listen to happy music, go out with friends, or even do something fun with your mother. Medication shouldn't be your answer, so I won't even go there. Perhaps you should talk to a councilor at school to see if he/she can give you some tips to better deal with school. I finished school and it is a lot of stuff you have to deal with.You also seem attached to your mom. Is your dad around? Perhaps he should also help. Sorry if that isn't the case, just wondering. She is an adult and should take care of her own problems, or at least try to do so. You are not responsible for her and shouldn't feel pressured to being someone for her to lean on.If you ever feel like you can't take anymore, take a break, go for a walk and focus on your breathing. Don't trap yourself in your room / house. Eat something and laugh. By laughing you release the "happy hormones" and you will feel a bit better. Don't be afraid to cry, even if it doesn't do much for you: sometimes you just have to let it out. Take care my friend!

I try to express my self in other ways. Pick a song that matched my emotion at the time and start singing it. At first I would listen to the song and imagine myself singing it. Sometimes I would pick up my notebook and start drawing randomly. Other times I would watch a funny tv show or movie and by the end of it I would feel awesome as if I was in the movie. You can also read a novel, I recommend Ender's game if you haven't read it. It distracts you and allows you to keep your sanity.

Physical exercise does really help, you just need to find what suits you, for me it is swimming. I'm not sure listening to happy music or trying to relax is always a great plan, it is if it works, but you're probably beyond the point where you find that sort of thing uplifting and run the risk of finding it a bit annoying. Music is good, but listen to something that you feel, or perhaps can even sing to and work from that base gradually to something that makes you feel better. Once you get to that point of feeling better, then try something relaxing like a bath. Don't be afraid to turn to something less cool to listen to (like anything from a chillout album or similar) but more relaxing at that point to settle into being relaxed. Don't look for an immediate answer, look for a path, and aim to feel ok for now, then better in future.

I'm over a thousand miles from home - literally. There was this one time I got a bit homesick and sad. What I did was to watch a sad movie. In this particular case I landed on Dear Zachary. You can find it on Netflix. This movie made me so angry and so sad. But it also made me realize how much better I have it than many others.I know it sounds kind of rude and stuff, but seeing how peoples life turn so miserable and still being able to turn it out to the better makes me incredibly motivated for life and to keep on going!

crying will help a lot.
