| Who am I?
I never feel the same about things for two days in a row. I say things and commit to things one day and the next day I am in shock that I said and did those things. It's like I am not the same person two days in a row. Does this go along with being bi-polar which is my diagnosis. Can anyone relate to this? Thanks, Ruby |

(((((((((Ruby)))))))))) I defiently relate to that. I am also diagnoised bipolar. I often feel like I am not the same person in a single day. I am defiently not a doctor, but as one bipolar to another. IMHP yes it goes with it. Be sure to mention this to your doctor if you are seeing one. If your not seeing one please do so ASAP>

Hey Ruby... Yeah... I'd say that your behavior is probably rooted in your condition. This link explains it really well... http://www.nimh.nih.gov/Publicat/bipolar.cfm For myself... I had to limit the things I committed to... because I would feel instant anxiety as soon as I committed to something... And when I knew I did need to commit to something... I always felt best when I had months in advance to get my mind around it... As time has gone on in recovery though... I am more and more able to trust that I can say no when I need to... that I can stop my people pleasing.. That I can live my life one day at a time in ways that are pleasing and acceptable to ME.. period.. I believe today that a lot of my bipolar behavior comes from stilted beliefs I hold.. as well as chemical conditions in my body. As I think.. I am.... Studying the condition helps to life a lot of guilt and shame from us from past stuff... Just keep talking and writing... and punch a few pillows... ;o) |
