Having a serious mental illness means dying young

The first commenter should be read. Here's a part of it that I was faced with myself. It was great comfort to know I wasn't alone in wasting 20 years.


"Bipolar disorder has been like a giant eraser for me for the last two decades. It erases career, friends, opportunities, money and more."


I couldn't have said it better.

Maybe I can beat the clock but due to other factors, physical and mental, I'm counting on dying young. My 73 birthday will not happen without a miracle. This isn't a sad thing - it may be the best thing to happen. A relief. I hope others are a little more positive but the health problems I'm facing, I won't be long for this life without a lot of luck.


Day after day, alone on a hill, I'm amazed at the lack of humanity,that's killing us still.
