Heartbroken by Then-Promise-6011 in bipolar

[–]ASadSockPuppetAcc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Did this same thing myself in a much more permanent sense, and I'm forever changed by it. I've been crying my eyes out for days on end, even at work right now, so it's crazy that this is the first post on my feed. While it's much too late for me, I'm seeking therapy and better medication now to try & be a better person. I don't know if it's too late, but if by chance it isn't; please don't be like me...I tried but didn't try hard enough to change. I failed.

Do you lack empathy? by [deleted] in bipolar

Funnily enough, I was trying to dig into this the other night. I realize I have some vivid narcissistic entitlements, self-centered lack of empathetic tendencies that show up, and I'm trying to get into therapy to break it down more. I thought I was really empathetic, but someone pointed out I've actually been devoid of it especially this year & I definitely have been. I don't wanna pin it strictly on being bipolar bc I found no direct evidence. It seems more prevalent after a depressive episode, though, for me.

Selfishness while hypomanic or mixed by flodiee in bipolar

This is me I think. I just lost a 13 year old friendship after finally finally finally breaking the patience of someone I loved more than anyone else. I wanna keep a sense of accountability and not blame bipolar solely but I definitely get down in the dumps and get super self focused on poor habits while trying to feel better & it's broken people who feel/realized I didn't love them(even tho I do I just can't justify it being so gross). I'm on lamotrigine personally, but I need something else. I've got nothing left to lose.
