Guilty

Does anyone else feel like they are hurting there family. I constantly feel horrible about what my son and Husband and parents and loved ones have to put up with on a consistent basis. Of course this always makes me more depressed but I don't know how to change this feeling. I feel like a burden.

As Tommy said guilt is pretty common. I know I feel a lot of it. I'm working through it with my therapist. Apparently its a symptom of codependency which I am.

Feeling like crap all the time for the things you do and aren't in control of is normal in bipolarland.

Excessive guiltiness is also part of being bipolar.
