Hi, this is my first thread. I'm here because I don't know anybody else that has bipolar disorder around me. It's been two years since I've been diagnosed. Since then, my life has definitely improved, though I can still feel the ups and downs. Right now, I'm in a down and I feel alone. When I talk, I feel like people don't listen to me, ignore me even. I feel awful, like I lost my value. The problem is that I can't seem to find the limit between the disorder and reality. How should I react in X situation? Am I overreacting? I can't seem to make a decision because I'm afraid people won't understand me and inevitably think I'm crazy. I'll then really be isolated. It drives me crazy. Is there a way to make things less chaotic?
