I find myself doubting every decision in life, is the depression?mania?meds talking or is it me? I have a decision that i've been kicking around for 7 years always the same answer but I doubt myself.

before i starting taking meds i would have to say i was sure about everything. crazy choices i made though. but when i was depressed i wanted to die and when i was on a high i thought i was the unstopable queen and knew what i wanted. then the meds came and i feel lost. im walking the earth at the moment unsure what i am meant to be doing with life. this could just mean though i need to enter another phase of treatment. what ever that is

I'm that way as well. It's hard to define who I really am when I am as I should be. So when I'm feeling out of sorts (too high or low) I try to remember myself as I should be and think of her. It rarely works though. My memory sucks when I'm up or down. But yeah, I completely understand on this one.

I used to just barge ahead and make spur of the moment decisions sure that I was thinking clearly...and I ran up over $50,000 in debt. Now I'm diagnosed, on meds, and scared to death to even go to the grocery store.
I used to be able to decorate where ever we lived..now I'm diagnosed and I'm scared that if I put something on a wall, it will be all wrong.
Yeah, I guess you could say I'm very self-doubting.

I feel the same way. I hate having to make decisions, especially the kind that have extenuating consequences. I think it's because my ex and my mother always took pot shots at me and criticized my ability to make sound decisions.

I'm not good with decisions, unless they're bad ones. Then, I'm excellent at making them.

Well I'm in a bad marriage, she cheated etc etc. and I know I need to leave. I found something that I posted in my journal that makes sense so......

I need to move on with my life but I'm finding it very difficult. My ex gf that I live with used to handle big decisions for me. Now that we're broken up, I have to make decisions by myself and it's terrifying. I'm always questioning my decisions. This side of BP is terribly frightening. I doubt that I can make the right decisions.
peace, teresa

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
