I think it is silly and ridiculous but I don't get down on myself about it because I know I have a mental health disorder that causes it. im actually very intelligent. a smart person that believes the air will turn me to ash if I walk out my front door. lol. I take meds and it really helps. I can shop now on my own, not often, but I can do it. so if you are getting help, seek another opinion cause it is not working and if you aren't have your parents set up an evaluation for you. it will help. really, it will. take care.

I'm not seeing anyone. I don't really believe I am smart. I am slow to picking things up. Always have been. I think I am bipolar because I have moments where I don't feel anxiety at all and other times where I am terrified and want to pass out. I have been trying to get some help for the last 7 months. I can't even communicate with my parents really. I have to talk to them about it through email.
I've tried meds. I've tried some therapy too. It just makes me feel like ****.
What do you mean by an evaluation?
I don't know if I should be comparing my situation with yours but I feel like I am in a bad situation. People expect me to be out trying to make something of my life right now. Yet I am doing nothing. I've already got a giant gap of nothingness so it makes it that much harder to get a job or anything. Not like I am actually trying to find work. I wouldn't be able to do it anyway.My IQ drops to single digits when I am trying to communicate with people I don't know very well. AKA the only ones I seem to know very well are my parents. It takes a lot to get me comfortable with someone and I feel like everyone is trying to stab me in the back.
