I am have a pretty hard time right now. Everything is going really well and it scares the crap out me. Things between me and T have never been better. I feel like I am making good progress. So she must be ready to dump me from her schedule. I got a undergraduate research position that I really wanted. So now everybody is going to find out I am not smart enough. I have been stable for several months now. So it is time for medication to stop working and enter another episode. Aaaaaah! I am just sitting here crawling in my skin about how everything around me is going to crumble to the ground and there is nothing wrong. Not one shred of evidence that anything is or will be wrong. It is just so frustrating. Why can't I enjoy my mini milestones and be proud of my accomplishments instead of waiting for the other shoe to drop. Thanks for letting me vent.

I think that's the " waiting for the other shoe to drop" syndrome. The only thing I know to do with that is keep working with your T.

Eventually something in your life will go wrong, and then something else after that eventually, and so on. Life is a series of ups and downs even for neurotypical people. This is an area where we are all the same, even us bipolar folks. So it's important to accept that there were be down-times and bumps in the road, and that you will deal with them when they come, so that you can enjoy the good stuff while it's happening.

Our lives are so bumpy that it is sometimes really hard for us to just enjoy things when they are good.......
Here's hoping you can find an inner place of calm and just roll with life while it is very good!

Thanks guys that is reassuring. I guess my biggest wish is that my mind didn't jump to doomsday scenario because I am doing well. Well, keep practicing my mindfulness I guess. Thanks again

I get this all the time. It's an intense feeling of impending doom. I'm always afraid my husband, children or parents will be killed, or a major world war will break out. I consider it intense anxiety and it happens most, when I'm not doing well.
I'm sorry you are experiencing this. It is no fun.

Stop being negative. You'll be fine.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. It's very hard. I would try my best to enjoy where you are. Don't stop setting goals! Those usually help keep you going. Whether you're down or up.

I was diagnosed eight years ago, and for the first time ever I have been stable for a year now. The unknown has held me back from pursuing my career. I have my college degrees but just keep sitting back wondering when I will be unstable. Recently I realized that it has been a year and I'm really considering hitting it full force to get into my field. Stability I guess you could say has given me confidence. It's time now. Yes I don't know when something will happen, but I can't let this illness hold me back any longer. Just keep moving on.
