I'm not sure about this post. I've noticed more people posting lately.

I'm not usually impulsive, especially when depressed which I currently am. In the past 2 days though I have sent out 3 ''friend'' requests to people I hardly know, and now I feel like an idiot. Why did I do that? Two were elsewhere and one was on here. This post isn't ''attention seeking'' (re another thread by someone else) I genuinely wish I could take them back. Not that I don't like the people, but the truth is, most of us don't really know the others on here. And also I know there are a few who are uncomfortable with online friend/contact requests. Or occasionally, we think we know someone at least somewhat and then .... I won't say more but it's happened to me a few times. Not fun. Not anyone on here!

Am I the only person here who occasionally does ''dumb'' things like this? I don't think it's ''borderline'' as it so rarely happens. Another thing, I've read about ''splitting'' in ''borderline'' and I'm certain I do not do that. I have not been dxd with it either although I know it's quite a common diagnosis (or misdiagnosis)

And now I'm feeling like deleting this. I've been on here too long today. I was drawn in a bit by what seemed like a bit more activity lately.

I did find an online therapy site a few weeks ago which initially looked quite promising to me. They also have a shrink (but I'm allergic to so many meds, sigh....) But my mood was very severely negatively impacted by the thoughts spinning around in my head. I'm only now starting to find my way out again.

I honestly feel that in some areas, they simply do not listen... not all but far too many. Nor do they give the respect which in my opinion is a minimum requirement and which everyone deserves.

The thing you mention about "friend requests" is something that has happened to me too and not always with desirable consequences, so I can definitely empathize with you. As far as psychotherapy goes, I have not had the best of luck in that area. Best to you.

sorry you are going threw this.

(((((hugs))))

Hey @Fuzzybear I think I might be one of your friend requests!
Please don’t worry about it, it’s not a dumb thing at all! I do the same sometimes.
You haven’t offended me at all and I don’t feel uncomfortable making friends.
Do you want me to delete it? I honestly don’t mind and I certainly wouldn’t mind being “friends” with you.
I’ve been very active on here as I am currently going through a depressive episode too. I’m trying to keep a routine and coming on here fills time while I’m off work.
Plus selfishly, helping people makes me feel a little better.
Sending lots of hugs

Thanks everyone!


Pinny, it was to you, I'm happy if you accept it, I guess I was having too many assorted sub optimal thoughts. I'm glad you're finding coming on here to be helpful

I think I might know what you mean re the ''friend request'' thing, it was not anyone here in bipolar.

(quiet grrrrr, hoping nobody hears me )
