I'm really new to this so am not sure what to call the state I am in where that happens...I think it is mixed or manic...but I get this very notably at certain times. I feel like it's almost a form of paranoia? I get into "phases" where I feel like I am doing everything as far as taking care of the house and kid and my husband is doing nothing (this is actually never true) and sometimes even I start feeling like my friends/family are not only taking advantage of me but actually like "out to get me" in some way (like conspiring to take advantage of me or make my life difficult!) which is why I mention the word paranoia. This usually happens to me when I am very tearful/angry also which makes me think mixed though I am still in the very early stages of working with a pdoc and trying to figure this out, so not sure if that makes sense...anyway, you are not alone!
