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.
does anyone feel this way sometimes? I tend to feel this way at times and I don't know what triggers it, except I think when I am faced with making an assertive move or decision about somethings. I know I am being vague
I am just trying to tap into what makes it that way. I am not sure if it's symptomatic of illness.
Maybe I obsess about ideas sometimes and follow them to their conclusion (and write about it - that I do.) Other times, when there's not a logic about things and I just need to make a move about something assertively pragmatic, like thinking about what I will do professionally.
Or even accepting the possibility of dating someone. I go all vague.
Thanks if you can offer any kind of experience like this that you might have.
Peace,
MM

Basically a loss of confidence in myself .....Is this a BP thing ?
I'm not sure, but it does seem to have happened around my first big breakdown.
After that breakdown, I just don't have the confidence I once had .
i can get so 'sorta yes, sorta no' about things probably because of a lack of confidence too.
it's been something, now that i am thinking about, something that rings true since an really early memory of when i was like six. My mother saw me drawing (which I did a lot) and she and her friend said something like "Are you going to be an artist?" I had been asked so many times that I just kind of thought (ok I guess) and then said "yes."
Thanks for letting me write about this - it really helps.
your not alone here

I've made so many really bad decisions.
My 'history' of decision-making is what makes me have little confidence in the ones I make now.
And with good reason.
I screw up a lot.
