Bipolar is a liar and makes us self doubt and a whole laundry list of negatives I have yet to met a person with Bipolar that hasn't had the same problems, I know I sure have and do.

Do you have a Therapist? I am not sure I would be able to manage with out mine. He has many times helped me get off a bad road ( self doubt) I might be heading down. He doesn't coddle, he has no problem nudging me or a mental shove when needed, but that is how him and I "work"

Many times I do find myself isolating instead of reaching out for help. Gotta love Bipolar and its sneaky ways

I hope that things improve quickly. Is there something you can do to self sooth besides ice cream? i force feed myself comedies at times. I hope your Pdoc can help you
