I'm feeling a bit better today.
I've been wondering this week whether chronic negativity is my personality trait or my mental illness. One thing I forgot to mention is my parents visited for Thanksgiving, and I have a complicated relationship with them. I notice when I'm around them I am a totally different person, like mental illness symptoms increase. Its probably stress from dealing with them. And its probably why all my life I've been in this negative, irritable state.
But now that they are leaving today, I am feeling better, more optimistic and more lighter. I am still upset about my finances, which are like a noose around my neck. But like I said, I'm figuring ways to improve them.
But yeah, I do have a problem with constantly being negative. It could be my personality or I'm letting little things get to me so much. There are times where I wonder if being Bipolar II plays a role because I read and hear about people being agitated. But maybe I'm wrong.
