There's no doubt that depression brings out the most negative, and fearful, emotions in people. In your case I think I see a helpful sign and this is within the structure of your question. The fact that you have concerns about your future may well mean that you are unlikely to be overtaken by your depression.

 

The fact that you feel you can't trust anyone is a little trickier to answer because I don't know your situation. One person you should be able to trust is your family doctor, who may be able to suggest additional support. It could also be that your medication (if you are taking any) needs looking at.

 

There are other places that can help. The Bipolar Forum is one. You might also like to check out the Bipolar Support Group List.
