I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, BPD, PTSD, and Sever depression, so my self-esteem is between a level one and a level five. I have hard time dealing with myself and reality. I asked if I should go to community college or not. I was just asking my peers(u) for there opinon, and Iwas called supid and I shouldn't go to college. I hope this doesn't sound like i am trying to be a self-pittying little girl. I guess i shouldn't ask for an opinion. I am really stupid for asking that question?
dont let other people tell you what you should and ashould not do when it comes to your future. if you WANT to go to college, then DO IT. if you want to stay home and pity yourself, then do it. just because you are bipolar or otherwise mentally disabled doesnt mean you arent funcional. honestly, im sorry you have to deal with this, but make the most of it. you only live once!
Reality can be both scary and difficult place for me. I am diagnosed the similar things as you. I believe I have also DID or know as Multiple Personality Disorder and to me each one of us and what our reality is at the time is so different in comparison to our place in life and all we have or have not yet been through and experienced. I know for me now in life i am age of 34 years, and I never knew this is where I would be and so for so long I took thorazine and did as I was told to do by the mental health person and people like a little toy soldier. Then one day they all got mad at me and next I knew I was no longer 21 years old, I was like 28 years old and no more thorazine and did not know how to live for myself and how to make my own decisions. The longer we neglect our fears the longer we avoid even the tiny fears like I wondered in all my reality when I clicked on the subject here in this, I was scared my computer was going to blow up, but it didn't and so by facing the fear of feeling my computer might blow up, it did not and now I am trying to say the longer you avoid the thought of being able to do things and if wait too long, time goes by and fears like going to college, which for being 21 are really valid fears, a thing can happen like in me, to the point of ridiculous thoughts and fears over time being created in the mind to the point that if I could go back and at least try I would most likely be much more functional to this day and not thinking stuff every other minute that when shared ends up sounding so ridiculous. Do all you can do and do your best at facing your fears, and try as hard as it may be to remain in the real world and try to remind yourself you are a good person and that it is ok to be smart enough to go to college and your worth that. Im sorry I blabbered so much, but try to accept compliments from others no matter how difficult it is to do. You are asking questions and that means in itself you are still connected to yourself and in so doing you still have the ability to dream and look towards the future. Keep up the good work and remember you are a good person who deserves good things. Peace LS
