I'm in a sever depressed funk of my Bipolar and I know it. It's eating me up with a vengeance. However, slowly each day I wake up feling a little bit better. So, I have been getting up out of bed, doing hair/makeup, gettig dressed, running errrands and "functioning" Sounds great right????

Here's the problem~ right about mid to late afternon I feel a complete and total shift. I go from that functional person who is getting things done to an emotional crying mess afraid of anything and everything!
I went to Wal Mart today. Before I went in, I felt great! Once I got inside I flipped mentally. I eventually had to find one of those empty end caps they have and sit down on it for like 20 minutes just to get the courage to get what I needed and get the heck out of there.
It's almost as if I felt I was being watched and judged. I'm not really sure.
I'm home now, still anxious and completely isolating myself from my husband and kids but I'm upset that as of right now the ONLY places I feel safe going are home, therapist, pdoc and inpatient mental hospitals. I don't even want to go to my own parents house!!!!!

Does this sound typical of Bipolar or could something else be posssibly going on?
