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.
One of the things I’m struggling with is guilt over past mistakes. These thoughts and feelings ruminate and trouble me now and again.
Being Bipolar, I have made some really poor choices I’m ashamed about. And it’s almost like I’ve held onto that shame because I feel like I deserve it. The other people that have been involved cut ties with me. I just get really down thinking if only they understood my actions stemmed from having an unstable mind and acting out irrationally at the time- those awful moments of mania. I’ve come so far since then (it’s been almost 10 years) and still I feel shame and want it to be fixed. It’s so uncomfortable knowing someone else despises you or sees you as a cruel mean person.
Does anyone else share a similar experience or have any insight I may be overlooking?
