   I am bi-polar (truth, diagnosed by gp and a psych.) so no junk here,. A lots of people do notknow the true meaning of bi-polar disorder or manic/depressive. The things that you have are by no means worth killing yourself over. You must not have had the real, deep, dark way down depression which means you are lucky. As for the constipation a laxitive or a Fleet childrens enema will help. I always get the Kids because I don’t need much. The bloated feeling and gas could be coming from the constipation. This is very graphic, but , my best friend worked in a nursing home. Sometimes when we haven’t been in a long time, we develop a hard plug and until you pass this, you will not be able to go. The enema would be best for this and you can put some KY jelly on it, but not over holes where liquid comes out, this is for easier insertion. Do not go crazy and freak out. S___ happens.
   Go by directions and put a large towel on your bed and lay down and hold the liquid as long as you can. You will feel pressure like you have to go, but don’t give in until you know you cannot hold it anymore. If you’re bad shape, you may need two enemas. or sometimes the laxative will work; but I am impatiet and when I get this far, I want something done now. Graphic again–when you pass the hard plug, your stool may be stiff, a very mild laxative or stool softener will help this. Go with stool softener if you have never done this before. Drink lots of water. This will not help your hemorroids as that sometimes (being impacted is name for it) the plug is very dry and hard and may be hardto pass. This can cause some minor bleedings. Once the bm is taken care of get some Tucks for hemoroids and same name cream. You may want to use some Neosporin with pain relief for a couple of days to help heal the spots caused by plug. Then start with the Tucks, what helped me was to moisten one of the Tucks real good with old fashioned witch hazel and fold it and tuck it up against you and just lay down. May burn at first, then start using Tucks cream for h. I feel like I have written a book. Please go and talk to your gp or get him to refer you to a psch. as the constipation should not make you want to kill yourself. There must be other issues that you are not telling or are not not aware of. Please do not do anything stupid, I have beenon a good regimine of meds and feel better than I have in years. Sometimes the doctor will have to work with you to find medicationsthat do not have side effects; but, please do not let this deter you. Keep a journal daily and write down any odd feelings or thoughts you might have and take with you. I must stress that you be completely open with your doctor, tell him everything whether you think it may or may not be worth telling. Remember he is a professional and can pick up on underlying causes that you may not see.
   I am telling you this because God wasn’t ready for me yet. I have been in that deep dark pit and it is hard to get out of. My faith helped me a lots. Do you have any of the manic highs that are a part of bi-polar disorder, where you feel "high" and cannot stop talking, going, doing. Ifyou do tell yor doctor about this too. God bless, go in peace and other than a gentle admonishment go easy with yourself, as this universe is undoubtedly unfolding as it was planned. Learn to like yourself. You may not feel it right now, but you are a special and unique peson that was put on this earth for a purpose that you may never even know the reason for. Many thoughts and prayers.

   I do know ,but for one you should take mater into your hands .Go see a doctor that could certainly help you. Then for your constipation walk everyday if you can.Do not have to walk ten miles.Eat good food.Not expensive food but the one that will help,like veggies and fruits.For me grounded flax’s seeds help a lots.I put them in my foods in the morning usely. Exercises is the word. Start thinking possitives taughts it help to.
   But if you think that killing yourself would be better nobody but you knows better. I have an in-law that comited suicidell and in may help her cause see is not here anymore ,but if she could see from where she is the hurts that she did leave behind i’m sure she would consider her act. Its always what you leave behind that matters. But like i said your the one who know…..No one can make a decision like that but you.
