OK..
I dislike going out ..it's as if there's too much imput..I get irritated everyone moves slow sounds are LOUD lights hurt..it's as i pick up negetive thoughts from people although I'm not scared.
It's chaos...I feel a hate I see hate and greed, I'm angery at the stupidity of people I just wanna go back home.
I go out sometimes for a walk in the middle of the night when everyones not around..then I feel OK...it's enjoyable
This has been a problem a long time..I drank to solve it.
I have no interest socially outside ~I get bored..people thing it's weird~i don't care
It's not a fear thing it's a total disinterest?Anyone know of a deserted island : )
I have to be in constant self control it wears me out...I get home and sleep.
Is it phobia or a bipolar thing..
T he reason I'm asking is I'm filling in a form and need to try and establish this medical condition(apart from mood disorder)thanks hope you can understand my post......

Well, I've experienced a lot of what you're talking about. The part about too much input. It seems as if there is too much too-muchness everywhere and I get horribly overstimulated. The lights and noise, and most especially the people. I don't get irritated or angry, I just feel overwhelmed.
And so to me, disliking to go out isn't a phobia, it's a perfectly reasonable response to a sensory system that just doesn't have a good enough shield. Now whether not being able to shield yourself from sensory input is a bipolar thing, I'm not sure.
I don't suppose oversensitive sensory system is a choice on the form? Or highly tuned to the environment (if it's a form you want to look good on).
With no answers, but a lot of empathy,
Dinah

Thanks Dinah...
Well if I put agrophobia it would help ,it isn't lying just simpler ..otherwise as you said oversensitive sensory system would confuse..
Thanks again for your time sweety~petal

Hi baby-cakes, long time no write...
Sounds like attentional problems, like ADD. To me. The over-stimulation is a classic symptom. Have you ever been diagnosed? Sometimes BP and ADD symptoms overlap (impulsivity, anger, looking for highs/excitement, alcohol or drug dependence, creativity, hyper-sensitivity, difficulty transitioning from one activity to another, hyper-aware response to changes in the environment).
If you want to e-mail me it's fine. I am glad you are doing better (you sound it), and that you have kitty to sleep with (meow!)...
sloppy kiss,
Wendela

Ohhh, Dreamer-Kins, Baby cakes,
You're too kind. I didn't mention the ADD thing cuz I think you need more meds... But if the symptoms are there, it could be real. These are classic symptoms... Scattered - yeah... I've got scattered stories up the wazoo, but I can only tell you them off-list... (too embarassing). Write to Zo, she'll diagnose you. And hey, maybe you've needed adderall or dex for years, maybe that's why you've always got a little ITCH that you somehow just can't scratch... (know what I mean??) Maybe it would go away? A trial of a stimulant might be ok, even with the bipolar, esp. if you were monitored closely by the pdoc...
Write me if you want...
love-and-hugs, you darling girl,
Wendy
