The need to constantly self protect. Wish I felt
like I could express any amount of love and passion
without the insecurity and fear that it won't be returned...
that things won't work out...and therefore keep it locked up
inside.
Life is too short. But sometimes I feel like a wild horse
that has someone (my inner fear person) pulling on the reigns
constantly.

I want larger breasts. Not big hooters, just B-cup, but not implants.

Oops, I'm worried about what other babblers will think (shallow! stereotypical female!).. wasn't that against the rules?

Oh you are NOT worried what we think. But you did break a different rule.
We were only allowed to change ONE thing!

But ya did it Kar :-) I heard your answer and now, um, um, can I take yours instead? HA! I hear ya :-)

> i just know i'll hear someone else's answer and decide that I want that one. Just like when i got a candy bar at the five and dime before my sister got hers and then would inevitably want what she got. I'm insecure like that.
>
> I would like to be able to commit to a job, a social engagement, anything in my life with the confidence that I'll be feeling well enough to follow through and handle it like an 'normal' person. I wouldn't want to take away that I'm bipolar. but this is one of the things about the disease that cracks me.

Geez does it have to be just one??

My enthusiasm I guess, I'd like to have that back, when I woke up and was happy just to be;
when I liked doing things for their own sake and there didn't have to be a 'reason.'

Yuck, how awful. I wish I had some helpful suggestions. Reminds me of my one trip to Europe, the nightmare vacation from hell with a female friend who managed to hook up with a French guy on the plane over, spent the whole week either with him, or fighting with me, leaving me to wander Paris ALONE with woefully inadequate language skills. But, horror that the trip was, it was still somehow a memorable experience.

I'll be wishing you a surprise meeting with some really cool English-speaking person/people to hang out with. It could all turn around in a minute. Or you could get into a meaningful solitude state. Or find some really great stuff shopping.

hi fallsfall:-) I'm glad you answered!
Do you know what or when or why you feel you lost your confidence? I hear you, I wish I had the confidence I had too when I was, say 19, or even 22, and even now!
Keep working toward it~~I wish you the best:-)

> I would like to have my confidence back

(((Dinah))) Glad you answered too:-) Do you think the people in your life aren't happy with you? I have been very happy knowing you on this board, you have given me some great advice and helped me in a few of my questions I've had, and for that I thank you:-)
Remember, *to thine ownself be true* I wish you the best in meeting your obligations, but one day at a time~~right? ;)

Hi Penny:-) I hope you're hanging in there. I know sometimes I get overwhelmed and can't think clearly a lot and I try to tell myself to just focus one one thing at a time. I know it may be easier said than done though. Like sometimes I race around so fast and about 2 days ago, I hit the wall~~seriously and looked at my arm today~~I got a dang blue bruise LOL. I'm dealing with the no motivation thing lately too and I wish you the best in getting some of that back. I wish it were easier,
Take care:-)


> I would like to be able to think clearly and have my motivation back - so I would be able to function again!!!

Hi ROO, so glad you answered too:-)
Sometimes I feel the need to self-protect ALOT. I really build up walls in my life. I guess it's because I've been hurt a lot, but I know if I use that excuse for the rest of my life~~I may make for a lonely person, and I don't want that for myself. I hear you when you say that in a sense you wish that in expressing any amount of love and passion that it would be returned. I wish that were true too. I'm learning that life has no guarantees. Boy, do I wish it did :-) I hope that you continue to give your love and passion and know inside that you are a good soul for doing so and have the confidence in that even if it is not returned.
Have you ever heard that saying about the definition of FEAR?
F=False
E=Evidence
A=Appearing
R=Real
*May be corny, but it's true. I worry so much and am afraid of a lot in life and am as I write this. If I can just remember my words to you LOL
Good luck!:-)
Take care.

When I crashed 8 years ago I found out that I had limits (at age 38). Up until that point I honestly didn't know that there were things that I couldn't do. Now I do.

Hey Sabina:-) Keep at it and you will like yourself! I like you~~not that I'm the ultimate judge YIKES! LOL I have forgotten how to like myself too, we'll get back there someday, you and me I know it;)What helps me, is to remember it like you said, but stay in it for more than 30 seconds~~try to stay in it for as long as your mind allows. It works and the feelings you get are amazing~~a great rush!

I wish my dad hadn't been in the Navy and gone on tours 8-9 months out of every single year. I see little girls everywhere with the confidence that their daddy will protect them and grant their every wish. I wish I could have experienced that feeling, instead of growing up with my dad as a stranger, emotionally distant and prone to angry outbursts.

My worst relationships happened because of my need for a father-figure.
