how do you know when you are not doing well and how do you know how badly you are doing? i know i feel bad but sometimes i dont think it is that serious because i guess i dont value myself but also i just dont know what is considered serious or bad but ok. how do you tell the difference?

Hi Flutterby11,

What's making you feel badly? I feel the same way sometimes, you feel as if you are failing in life. I don't value myself either, sometimes I have a really low self-esteem. It can be difficult to know exactly what you are doing badly. I also think you may be not giving yourself credit for something you could be doing right. Sometimes, it's good for us to focus on the good things, I know it's easier said than done, but I believe in the potential of everybody. Don't let yourself down because you are so amazing for even using this website as a support group!

I feel bad just in general. There is a lot going on I suppose but I dont know I guess it is just how my mood is at the moment.

What do you feel bad about? Often times we dwell on so many things we do wrong that we forget to see what are some of the things we do right. But I do get where you are coming from. Take care of yourself, do things you enjoy, and take time for yourself. That's not selfish, it's necessary! I hope you do feel better soon about whatever is going on in your life right now!

Most of the time how I know I'm feeling bad is when I feel unusually good... Too good... Start disappearing for days at a time with no regard for my safety or wellbeing (which usually involves a lot of alcohol & drugs), I'm usually quiet edgy too... That's just the beginning of my mania. When the mania wears off & the depression comes I usually cry a lot & start to not go anywhere, lock myself in the house for days at a time. It hits everyone in different ways but I hope you're doing ok

I can see where you're coming from, sometimes when I feel bad/guilty over something I seek out support from my friends but often times I feel as if I'm bothering someone. Do you feel bad about not being good enough ? Or is there guilt over something?.

Hope you're well!

I know I'm manic when I've figured out the thread that binds the meaning of my life. And then I start jumping in circles. And water in the shower feels orgasmic on my skin. And I stop sleeping and don't feel like I need any sleep anyway.
