i can't vacuum the back of the house, i have a terrible fear of doing it. i used to do it and it caused great anxiety so it became kidlets job. i have to be in the kitchen when she vacuums so i don't see anything.

Work outside the home. Every job I've had to leave because I just lost it. I'm thankful I don't have to work, but it makes me feel bad I don't contribute.

I am a stay at home mom though, so you can call that a job.

I can't be sure of whether I can cope with facing the world.
Spontaneity has to be planned as to look impulsive
For me to feel better about myself.

Some days I can do crowds too.

"I can't be in crowds/supermarkets,freaks me out"

I can't Not be Bipolar.

Hahaha :P

Driving. I won't drive unless I absolutely have to. I picture accidents happening right in front of me.

I am happy we have so much snow and ice on the ground right now. I know I'm stuck in the house and I don't have to drive anywhere.

I can shop, only cos I have to.Otherwise...fuck that !
I'd love to do a parachute jump..but no-one lets me.

Well, I have those things but I can deal with them after I confront them. I will try my hardest sometimes to avoid them like being around people sometimes in public but with encouragement I adjust quickly in those enviroments!!

I can't go to movies in a theater anymore, I get paranoid even when sitting in the back row. Oh, and I can't go shoe shopping alone...I think that's because I'm a woman though, not because of the bp. :)

not be at high-risk when we have (if we can) another baby. I feel like I can't even do that. Can't be around large crowds. Hate driving. Especially in the rain because I freak that Im gonna wreck. I can't have the tv too loud or it sends me into orbit. I don't even know where that is. haha

Yeah, what BarnGirl said.

Have children. I can't have children because raising them with this disorder is entirely too difficult on them and myself, and I don't want to pass along the BP.

i can't work outside the home at a real job and nor can i go to school at a real school. i have to do the classes at home on my computer. i don't like the work thing, but then again i have tried so many times and it just leads to failure. the school thing, not sure i like it or don't.

crowds. Can't do crowds. More than 6 is a crowd. When I'm on meds I can't have a normal sex life, and unmedicated, I can't stay faithful to my wife. There's a whole lot more, but I don't feel like going through it all.

i can go shopping alone i just get anxity i deal with it only cuz i have to
