How do you deal with shame over things you did while (hypo)manic?
Like i feel so ashamed of a guy i bugged over Messenger to come over for coffee last Summer. I sent him elaborate messages with sound effects. He never came over.
And i feel ashamed about this classy restaurant i used to go to where one time i felt they were rude to me and i made a tremendous fuss later to the hostess over the phone. We worked it out but now i am too ashamed to go there and i really miss the place, it was really special.
I feel ashamed of being hypersexual and hijacking this coffee break i had with my neighbors to talk endlessly about how horny i was, how i was dating a guy young enough to be my son and was going to have sex with him (i never did) and how i was bi-sexual, when that's absurd, i certainly am not.
I just find myself being attacked by these memories as i move thru my day and passionately apologizing in my head. It's so futile and painful.
Does anyone else have this? How do i stop?
I just feel so ashamed of myself!
