Self-Esteem Issues Linked to Bipolar
Hey, Im new to this thread and new to my diagnosis as of a week ago just to let you know before going in, plus Im not yet on medication... Im struggling greatly with self esteem, and feel like I should somehow become smaller or less present when around others, in fact, ill purposely isolate myself in my room away from my parents and brother because i dont feel understood and i feel like i am too "moody" to socialize. Now I know this can be linked to a plethora of other things, but I feel like the feeling of being less than and a burden through my ups and downs does contribute to my belief. I feel like im unreliable, unpredictable and too dramatic to be wanted by anyone, even my family. any advice is appreciated :) im already in therapy and have a medication evaluation set up next week for context.
