{{{{Widgets}}}} You are not a failure. The words I have quoted could be me in recent years. I think that the bipolar finally affected me and I lost confidence. I wish I had some words of wisdom. I just applied for a voluntary job and quit before I had the interview. I think I have become "used" to failing or quitting. I tend to pull out of things before they happen. I did manage to go on a recent holiday and it was great. I think that baby steps is the way to go. I hope to go back to a day centre that I used to attend. I have become very isolated and even that is going to be hard. I have finally admitted to myself that I have a problem. I have managed to bring my next pdoc appointment forward to Thursday. Maybe I can get a change of meds because I am sure Seroquel is causing more problems that it prevents.

All I can say is that you should do what you can. Appreciate even the smallest achievement. I got out for a short walk yesterday and that was good after a week not going out. Don't put too much pressure on yourself.

If you ever want to talk or even vent, just send me a message.
