For me it hard to know when to speak up and when not to, I think this was one of those times I should have just waited out these insecure feelings.
I feel in trying to open communication all I did was push people away. Not just here, but in my personal life here lately as well. Someday I'll learn how to commuinicate and wont feel this way, but for now, I need to take a break, refocus on something else as I can feel this situation pulling me down. Off and running. Later

I have been on this board for a while now, sometimes going out of control and this is the only place I can find any comfort knowing that others have gone through the same thing. I don't think I have ever conversed with you in a thread, but I have read many of your postings. During times when I can't even think rationally I still come and read and they help bring back to reality. That is what life is: real. On this board I don't think we need to apologize for our feelings because that is what this board is here for. Open communication is a tricky thing because some people say they want the raw truth, but then can't handle it. The only thing I can say is: be true to yourself(which I believe you are) because you are the only one who has no choice but to live with yourself for the rest of your life. I hope you come back to the board, your postings along with many others have been more help to me than I let on. Call it being self-concious about what others think of me. Your honesty didn't push me away, it helped me to speak up...Thank you!! :wave:

Hi Kiehn, I hope that no matter whether you are posting, just reading, or taking a break that you will put yourself in my bipolar shoes just for a sec here...
I don't care that people come here blasting away, manic as hell.... It's the Bipolar Support Board for pete's sake.
I don't care if people can't manage to even type a single word because they are so depressed and just read - I know they'll post when they are ready.
I don't care if people are sensitive and take offense. I've been there & done that - just ask Goody:wave:.
Kiehn, this is where you get to go where you have unconditional acceptance because WE UNDERSTAND.
Be mad, irritable, blah, depressed, wacko, - JUST BE YOU!!!
Your sis,
Ruthie

This is whyme,and I've been reading the threads. I was
diagnosed with Bipolar1 and Dysthimia Depression 6 years
ago. It has been a everyday struggle and I've experienced
alot of what everyone has talked about. I think it's okay
to take a break, but don't stay away too long. I, do the
same thing you do. I say things to push people away
[not on purpose] it's like I have no control. Then when it's
over; I sit and try to figure out why I said that. I usually
feel stupid afterwards. So don't feel alone, and don't stay gone to long.

Thanks for you honesty and encouragement and support.

I know people on this board understand better than anyone else in my
world. Quite often when Im feeling alienated from the rest of the world I come here but at that point my normal bipolar senitivity is in a hypered state
and it's almost like a self-defense mechanism, I react to anything that even
resembles rejection. I hope that makes sense, cause it's the best I can explain it. Thanks Ruth, for accepting me just as Im, Sis

Thanks for you reply, maybe that's a good thread, things we unintentionally do to push people away without realizing it.
