Reveal An Uncomfortable Truth About Yourself

I'm being treated for bipolar, depression and anxiety. Sometimes I'm energetic and happy, but I quickly turn depressed and sad. Sometimes I can't control myself and I worry about everything. I'm always afraid of being too much for anyone. I never want to be a burden, and often push people away because I assume they'd rather have space and I don't want to steal their joy.

I’m glad when people can be as open as you are...but understand also how hard it can be to share... but in sharing it , it lets so many others know they are not alone...

Big hug 🌹🙏
 
I think I'm truly scared of getting close to people. I always feel like such a disappointment, or trap myself feeling like they are going to run away from me. It's not that I don't trust them, it's that I don't trust myself to deal with the pain.

FYI for anyone interested, there's a Mental Illness thread in BDSM talk. It's not super active but it is supportive.
 
I tend to let things go... sometimes too easily.
I take things too personally but give up quickly. I basically think everyone's default opinion of me is dislike so I walk away. If I'm a problem, I take away the problem. No argument, I just go. Especially if there are friends of friends. I don't force Wisdom of Solomon. I don't think I'm worth it.
(Im ok, just stating facts)

I feel like I've lost a part of my identity since becoming a mother and simultaneously feel selfish for mourning that.

I think lots of moms can relate to this. 💜

It took me a while to come to terms with what my shrink at the time called “the unendingness of it all.” —> never not a mom.

Eventually, for me, it also added to my identity... morphing over time...

I feel the same way, hon.
It feels as if you/me the individual gets swallowed up by the role of motherhood. Hell, it feels like family and friends actively push it by asking after the kids but never me.

This is honestly how I feel too.

It’s a process.

You ladies are the best!
I'm really loving it (mostly). As with everything in life, there are ups and downs.
 
I have a hard time trusting people sometimes. Think it's because I've gotten hurt before and I still am trying to work on that. I don't think everyone is out to get me, I just need to learn to trust again. That's why trust and honesty is so important to me now. I enjoy building up things and not just rushing into things because I am a very cautious person in general.
 
I am still angry at the frivolous ways of my parents and so instead of being patient and understanding to someone experiencing grief and physical pain, I keep lashing out and haranguing a frail old man over decades of bad decisions.

You are grieving too... you are human ... grief manifests in many ways and it’s OK to just be and feel and get those feelings out ... I’m sure there is an element of fear and being scared of his fragility ... it’s so much at once...

Big hug hon 💕🌹🙏
 
I'm so used to half-ass relationships with emotionally unavailable men who turn out to be not really that into me that i wouldn't know what the fuck to do with a man who said YOU'RE THE ONE. WE'RE DOING THIS.

Honestly I'd probably lose my fucking shit and run for the hills and he'd have to drag me back and tie me down kicking and screaming.

Not that I'd have a problem with that.
