Losing it?

Sometimes I just feel as if i'll lose it. A lot of the time I seem to be just short of crying or screaming. I use to be a great people person. I would start conversations and everything, but now I tend to find people more irritating. I get so annoyed when people bug me. I would almost rather just be left alone then have to deal with people asking questions. I love to be online though. That's why I joined this group. I don't mind talking to people online, but in person is when I feel as if I may lose it.

I figure it's best to go with what works. If we can communicate online then do that. When we're up to being around people f2f then we can do that, but it doesn't do any good to agonize over it.

I do better on-line, too. I get so tired of people face to face.

I don't think that you'll lose it. I've always been a medium people person and none of that changed, because I've always been bipolar 2. People do annoy me to no end though, and love coming home to no one. There is just a lot of peace for me in solitude and with my online activities. I have this place and facebook, but it doesn't replace real human contact. We need a little bit of that every now and then, even though they can bug us at times. I don't mind it in moderation, but I'm definitely not a person that needs to be surrounded by people. I hope you feel better!!

I def think that you are NOT losing it at all. Its a normal part of being a Beeper to have that irritated feeling. Lately i have been feeling just like you. Its normal.

talking to people in person can get frustrating because its easy to see throough them, to see the lies, the fakeness that we all know so well. Its irritating. Online there is interaction only as much as youd like. Face to face interaction is almost to the point that its gonna happen whether you like it or not..
