I suffer from depression, most likely bipolar depression. I'm on medication for it and it works failry well. Minus some side effects from the medication, I'm pretty stable. For some random reason, I just got super sad, to the point of crying because I feel so alone.

I'm the only one in my family with an illness like this (I don't count thyroid or diabetes, it's just not the same). My uncle passed in 1998 and he was the only one that understood what I'm going through. I miss him so much and wish I could just call him up and cry to him over the phone. I don't understand where this sadness is coming from. I've been perfectly fine all morning, and just over the last 10 minutes, I'm crying and depressed. I guess I've been too strong for too long and I'm just breaking down.
