I hate going out but then I think that if I keep staying in it is going to make it harder and harder for me to go out. I just got my car and I am already not liking it because I get stuck in situations when I am not at home and I cannot drive home because I am to tired or I have too much anxiety. I get told that I am a "high functioning" bipolar, man I would hate to be one that isn't. Wow you just said a lot of stuff I totally relate to.

I just got my car and I am already not liking it because I get stuck in situations when I am not at home and I cannot drive home because I am to tired or I have too much anxiety.

I get told that I am a “high functioning” bipolar, man I would hate to be one that isn’t.

Once we learn to accept our normal, and not get frustrated into feeling we are not what society defines as 'normal,' the walk tends to get radically lighter, we let people help us ? without fighting back, and the little things that use to make us happy, seem to bring that smile back a fragment easier. Sometimes it is just about letting go of control. <a href="http://www.thedook.com" rel="nofollow">[ The Dook ]</a> It is all just part of who we are, the hard part is accepting that this is part of being normal. the word normal defines different to every person in their daily walk through life.

I have never written about my bi-polar. I suffer alot of the same anxiety problems you have. I can go out, I just don't want to go around people. I prefer the safety and comfort of my own home. I don't even want to go visit my parents. I have a problem that I am not sure how to solve. My husband is a pastor and I can't bring myself to go to church. I feel like I ought to leave him so that he can continue his ministry. He insists that leaving him is the wrong thing to do. He feels that people at church understand my illness enough to know that I am not missing church my choice. I don't know what to do. He is considering a career change so that I don't feel so threatened. I hate that he might have to change from his calling to preach. I have a wonderful pdoctor. He is up-to-date on the new meds and helps keep me functioning aroung the house. Work is out though. I haven't worked for a year and a half. This also hurts my self-esteem. I have worked since I was sixteen. Now, to not go to work everyday makes me feel worthless. How do others deal with this? Well, for a first time visit, this is probably enough about me.
