Bipolar Disorder Support Group
Bipolar disorder is not just a single disorder, but a category of mood disorders marked by periods of abnormally high energy and euphoria, often accompanied by bouts of clinical depression. This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I have a lot of trouble making decisions. Not just b/c they are hard decisions to make, but b/c I'm not sure what frame of mind I'm in.
I question practically every decision I make b/c I don't know if I'm jumping in too quickly...or if there will be harsh repercussions after my decision that I can't take back.
It's hard to take action when you really aren't sure whether you're in a stable mindset or not. So I continually choose to not make any action, for fear of a horrible reaction.
Anyone with me on this one?

But you can't move foward if you don't take a step, and I can't take a step b/c I'm horrified it'll be the wrong one. I've taken far too many wrong steps over the past few years.
Sometimes when I'm like that I can't even make it through the grocery store in less than two hours because I'm questioning one thing over another.
If it's a big decision I try to talk it out with someone.
There are too many decisions to make, and sometimes you have to make a quick decision.
For the big ones, it's hard, I try to talk it out with people, but they just can't understand my mindset. Especially when my decisions can affect other people. Of course they want to look out for their best interests, and so do I, but I also need to look out for my (and my children's) best interests. Difficult.
