This is the place to talk about your experience with bipolar disorder, learn from others' experiences, and find support.
I went out to run errands with my Dad and for some reason being in the stores and things taking too long really bugged me. I was really irritable the resr of the day. I even had to walk away from the table at a resturant because everything was bugging me. Even today I feel very irriable. I have just wanted to be by myself this weekend. I think maybe the crowds were too much for me and i needed to decompress and I could not because the day was busy. I hope I am making sense. I feel like a mess.
Irritable or not, you did it - done, over and night time : )
Some days suck, uncomfortable and irritable, be gentle with yourself and maybe tomorrow will be better! It could be, so don't make plans! If it sucks again? Be good and gentle with yourself....
Life is good and bad days - being good to ourselves and resting? Excellent coping skill!!!
Keep posting! You are not alone at all - it makes perfect sense, but I know from my experience, how you feel right now, is not the rest of your life - in case you need reminding : )
((((HUGS)))))
you are not alone.
try a hot bath...have any lavender oil? its really relaxing..put it in your bathwater, about 10 drops and just breathe it in...
The thing that really gets me though is the waiting in line for things! I just about spaz out! That's when my anxiety and Panic Attacks get the worst. No ativan or buffer people and I better be at a self checkout of less then 10 items express checkout line or I'm going to have a panic attack, tunnel vision, shut down and have heart palpitations for the next hour or so. Even with a buffer person it's still bad just not as bad as being alone.
