coping bipolar parent
to deal with the university for a bipolar person, antisocial?
is only my third day here in college and I want to leave and go home. I'm usually alone despite attempts to make friends .. I'm just not good to make conversations with people that makes me antisocial. Academically, I feel I am not prepared because of my courseloads reduced after being hospitalized for manic episodes .. my self confidence has plummeted since being diagnosed bipolar and that in this new scenario with anyone, not aid. I just want to leave and go home, you may attend the nearest community college. I do not know what my point here is, or what I'm trying to get … I guess I just need someone to talk about it. I'm still wondering whether or not I should tell my parents that. He was riding toward out and see how far I could go without becoming dangerously depressed or manic. If you've read this far, thank you very much ….
Been to do … I quit college and returned later … much later. I am so mad at myself, because sometimes I lost so many years in my self-imposed prison. How This past me in the long run? I found that if I set goals for me little things I felt I wanted or should do, but was afraid. For example. I wanted make friends, but could not. Of course not … You have to talk to someone to start the ball rolling. So I chose a person I've seen with regularity. I said I would to find something to talk to her about every day. I started by saying hello. Then I would find something good to say … "Nice Shirt. That color looks good on you." or questions "Did you write the assignment of tasks?" Once I got a girl to talk to me, her friends began to talk me. Somewhere along the way, you have to stand up for himself. Running away does not solve the problem. That's what I was doing to get out. This can not be your time to get stand and fight your way through this emotional distress, but not running away without giving it a good try. Talk to your therapist … many times as you need. Join some kind of group .. that does not require him to do things all the time. A therapy group would be fine. Whatever you choose, I hope you treat yourself well … You deserve it.
