Screwed up at work. I am feeling like the biggest failure as a person.

[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 573136, member: 1514"] CB, look, now I am going to be blunt with you bipolar to bipolar. You come on here and you pour your issue out and we all try to give you advice and most of the time it doesnt seem like you listen to anything we say. You have an excuse or you have tried everything or nothing will work. We all try to come up with something, anything that will help you and after awhile it sounds like maybe you are just filled with so much anxiety that you are catastrophizing everything to the point that you are completely paralyzed and cannot make any decisions. We have no idea if your ex is as bad as you say he is or not. Every story has two sides. Or as Dr. Phil is fond of saying, there are two sides to every pancake. With most stories there is her side, his side and somewhere in the middle is the truth. I think DDD has given you some good advice about possible attention issues. It is not uncommon for people with bipolar to also have ADHD comorbid. You could also have issues with executive function problems. But whatever is going on you cant just say that bipolar is an excuse. I cant tell you how many people hurt my feelings in life but I have to deal with it because it isnt because Im bipolar that they hurt my feelings, its because of the fact that I have to learn to keep my emotions in check and see if what someone has said to me might just have a kernel of truth to it. Most often if I have become upset by something, there is a kernel of truth there or it wouldnt have upset me in the first place. [/QUOTE]
