I am Doing Something For Myself!! - DaisyDoll88's Diary
View Profile I am starting this as a way for me to start communicating better and maybe I will soon be able to communicate with people. And if no one ever reads this its ok because I am doing it to help myself and not anyone else.

My First Step

Well this is my first step in communication. Don't ask me why I can do this when I usually cant communicate in any way shape or form. I have recently moved in with my cousins, and for most of mylife before this I lived with my grandparents and I was emotionally abused by them and we never talked about our emotions or anything else the only time they really talked to me was when I was in trouble. Well now my cousins are trying to get me to talk and communicate with them and I just cant do it, my cousin actually bought me a notebook and pen set for me to keep a journal to see if it would help me. Well it didn't I cant really explain why but I cant even write about y feelings in a journal. And why I can talk about them on here I don't know why, maybe its because people on here have somewhat of and understanding of what i am going through.

So now to the present, I have recently been diagnosed as Bipolar and I am very wierded out but the whole thing, I dont know how to tell people and I dont know how my loved ones will react and to out it straight out I am scared for myself and the people around me. Today I had a depressing day maybe tomorrow it will be better

Listen: You need to learn to communicate and you are. The first step is still a step. The people who raised you didn't teach you, so you are teaching yourself and reaching out for help. And stop feeling you're not helping anyone. Just by sharing and letting people communicate with you, like you are, you are helping others. That's why we're all here. We need one another. You can do this!!
We are not weird

This forum is a really cool place. Don't be one of those who disappears after a few days. You are among people who understand what is happening to you.

People with bipolar are not weird. We do weird things, sometimes. But we are not weird. We are a challenge. Especially to those we love the most.

My advice is be open with your boyfriend. You are so young, but life flies by quickly. You don't need to waste time with people who will not or cannot understand or support you. Let him know what is going on. He will either handle it well, or he wont. If he handles it well, you might possibly have found a life partner. If he does not, you can go out and find another person who does understand.

I agree with petermason. You are who you are and it is what it is. Isnt the point, to be with someone who loves and understands you for YOU and is there to help get the thru the tough times. Now is the time for you to finally take care of you. Thats great!!! This site is where you are safe to finally communicate and get it all out. Even the thoughts we all thought were too crazy to share with our friends and family. I'm new here but I feel like (for the first time) I can finally let my guard down and say what I need to say and it HELPS. These people are so supportive and just wonderful caring people. I agree- let your bf know whats up. If he supports you, great. If not, your being true to you and we're all here for you. It will be OK. It will be.
