I dont think its the holidays makeing me want to isolate.
I already had thanksgiving with my family like 2 weekends ago. I am feeling over whelmed a bit . I am going to make a very small thanksgiving dinner which for me I still dont manage small... to take over to my mother in laws. Im not particularly looking forward to going over there its never a time of calm. She is Bipolar and extreamly over whelming to me, (I hope I dont make people feel like that about me).
But even that isnt whats formost on my mind. I feel like shutting down. I did get my lamictal raised on friday and I added atavan on friday as well. I have my xanax for emergancies (thank god). Befor I took a nap today I was wanting to avoid going out to the stores and stuff. I took a nap and woke to find my self irritable and truely wanting to isolate from my family the public everything. If we dont go to the store today I cant get the stuff to cook dinner with for tomoorow (I have to cook it early). I dont want to cook dinner, I dont want to go to the store, I dont want to talk to anyone, (typing here is some how different), I dont want to be touched... I wouldnt say I am anxious but those sure are signs of it. I wouldnt say Im depressed but again those are signs....
Help!!!! How do I pull out of this... I need to badly. I did crash the last two times my husband went to drill and he went this weekend. Maybe Im crashing again but it makes no sence because hes home I should be relieved and want to be around people.

i made this account because i hope this reaches someone who can understand. I feel immense shame and guilt over my past behavior while manic. I have ruined relationships with friends and family members, gotten tattoos that i dont want, done things that make me cringe. The weight of the self hatred gets to be too much sometimes. I feel like a burden. Nobody understands. I hate myself today.

Our great friend OlderC could really use some love and support right now... She's hit a rough patchBig squishy hug Kat... I hope that you start to feel better really soon.... xo
This is not a new thing for me to get this way but ya it is overbearing. My pdoc isnt in the office up here except for on fridays and the office is closed for the holidays on friday this week. My case worker is out of the office maybe will be in tomorrow. My daughters birthday party is on sunday, so I have that stressor. I just wanna go run and hide
hell I dont know.... and yes now I feel like my dinner is going to be judged and that anything she says about not liking something is going to make me feel really bad. (thats my bpd having its say about the holidays)
I do hate the store thankfully its not to bad as its a small town but there are still stupid people everywhere
Gonna go brave the store
