Feeling very overwhelmed by all the things I need to do today. I feel like I'm coming apart at the seams. I wish I was normal. I hate anxiety, and most of all I HATE BEING BIPOLAR!!! I ****ing quit.
My boyfriend said this week that if he had a place as small as mine, he'd so be able to keep it clean. While he said it in no way directed at me, it makes me feel so inferior. I can't keep it clean. It's a disaster  I'm so ridiculous.

Being bipolar can make simple things hard. Don't let his remark bring you down. He just doesn't understand the difficulties that we face.

I know what you mean about bipolar. But I don't think you're either stupid or ridiculous. You're a unique, worthwhile, worthy human being. People who don't have bipolar can't understand what a struggle it is, but that doesn't make the struggle less real. Remember to be gentle with yourself.

I know what you mean. My parents would get so furious with me for allowing my room to become a disaster time and time again. They'd blame it on laziness, but they don't know how difficult it can become to do just about anything when you're so depressed that you can barely move.

You're doing the best you can under the circumstances. Don't be hard on yourself.

I don't feel like I can take one more minute of today.

I've found that my tiny home is actually very hard to keep looking neat because all it takes is one thing out of place and it looks messy. So if I don't hang up my jacket it looks messy. Right now between sewing projects everywhere, laundry that needs folded, jackets on the couch and mail I need to sort through it looks horrible even though less than an hour of work would have it perfect again (aside from the sewing. That I can't help right now).
So maybe it is perspective and he needs to understand that not only do you have a good reason but it may not be as bad as he thinks.
