Has anyone with Bipolar felt completely lost in life? I feel as if I have no clue what my passion or purpose in life are. Not happy in my current career and looking for something more fulfilling but I feel paralyzingly stuck and don’t know what I want to do at all. Has anyone else struggled with this?

Always. It's my least favorite part of it.
Ive changed my major 4 times over the last year for this same reason 😅 and getting my diagnosis made the indecision even worse. Like how do i look for a job when I'm only expected to live to 65? Will I never make it to retirement? Should I just live every day like it was my last or try planning for a future that might not be possible? I ended up just switching to an interdisciplinary degree, which doesn't follow any path and I get to choose my classes, but I'm worried about how hard it'll be to find a job with that. And what job should I even have? It feels like I can never be satisfied no matter what I do and the conclusion I tend to come to is that to live is to suffer and it's stupid to expect any more from life...but that thought is really depressing and I wish I could find that passion that lasts and feel fulfillment in my life. Idk if it's a bipolar thing but I understand what you're going through and I hope we both find what makes us happy <3
