    Manic Depression: On the down-side
    Broke...Scared...Depressed...Alone
    I only want to be at home
    No one seems to understand
    There are no funds or back up plans

    Feeling good can never last
    Two good months and then I crash
    All my plans and crazy schemes
    Become sleepless nightmare dreams

    Trying hard to face the days
    Of anxious thoughts and downcast ways
    Friends are tired of my calls
    Or can not understand my fall

    Beyond the place I can turn back
    Slipping fast, one more attack
    Losing months or maybe years
    For my depression there's no cure

    Is there not a place to go
    Where feeling good won't lead to low?

    As a fellow sufferer from the illness, this poem really resonates with me. Well done. The "fall" is one of the hardest things to deal with.

    If I feel physically as if the top of my head were taken off, I know that is poetry.

    Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) American poet.
