I know this is probably largely due to my OCD, and it (pleasing others) may be my largest obsession that rules my personality. I was just curious if any other BP individuals on here have this type of personality. I feel like it kind of keeps my bipolar under control a little bit (or at least my behaviors, because I am terrified that people will think I'm crazy, so I keep everything under wraps mostly). This aspect of my personality really causes me a lot of anxiety and makes work difficult at times. I just wonder if anyone else struggles with something like this.
I gave up on this year's ago. I typically end up hurt in the end. I take care of me first, because if I don't, who will?
