Confusion

I really don't understand myself sometimes. I go from perfectly fine and laughing to feeling like a complete failure. Even though I know that having to have multiple sessions for a tattoo, sleeping through an interveiw, and being behind in some classes, really isn't that deep. But it just keeps swirling around into this gross mess of thoughts. I know people have their limitations, but I can't keep this voice in the back of my head to except that.

Welcome to the board oblivious... Are you bipolar?

Therapy can help us with the way we're thinking and teach some new skills.... A cognitive therapy might help you...

Big hug....xo

Yes, I was just recently diagnosed probably less than a year ago, I go to therapy about once every week or two and it's one of those things where I feel great.... until I don't. But I know it's just part of the game.


xoxo thanks for the support

hi, are you taking meds? If so it doesn't sound as if they are working right for you and you need to ask your psychiatrist. It maybe just that the dosage needs changing.

hi, I am on medication and I can just never tell if it's right. I'm not as bad as I used to be, but it's all on different levels if that makes any sense.

    Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
