> Since I have bipolar 2 disorder...is it normal to feel like you are isolating yourself from others?
(((((Pandabear)))))
there must be something in the air.
i was down all weekend as well. I stayed in bed till 4:30 on sat. the reason i got up was cuz i got a guilt trip if i didn't go to my parents for dinner, so i sucked it up, played "happy B2c" and then came home at 8:00 -"cuz i had to take my meds". that's the best excuse to leave. then came home and went back to bed.
now one thing is that you should be proud of yourself for not giving in like i did. You didn't want to be around anyone and you weren't. I wish i would quit caving-it just makes me feel worse.
Sunday i spent in bed most of day as well, but i did get up to watch a couple movies.it's kind of confusing because i know it's is the Bp2 that makes you want to be isolated, but it's me that chooses that... I don't Want to be around others, so is it me or is it Bp2?
i guess either way i'm isolated and it doesn't matter why.
But when i feel that way, i like to just lay in bed with my journal and poems (which i think i'm getting better at) and just listed to my music ALL D@$m day if i want. Everybody says it's not "normal" but for me it's Exactly what i want AND NEED!
So just keep doing what is best for You Pandabear.
Here's to your feeling better, and even if you are isolated IRL, Remember you are surrounded by cyber love here at babble!!
B2c.
