You say that you think you don't get many dates because of your condition, do you believe that's the only reason? If you're telling the truth about taking your medication on regular basis, I doubt that you are being rejected because of your condition. I've known many people who have mental conditions and have successful love and social lives. These are usually the people who have confidence and take responsibility for their own actions. They don't blame everyone or everything when they're feeling down. Your insecurities and hypersentivity about your condition is probably what is driving guys away, not your bipolar itself.

You do not know me, and I don't appreciate the way you have come at me, not just here, but in other threads. I didn't say it necessarily WAS the reason, but rather that it made me wonder if it MIGHT be, and so I was depressed. I didn't say I was blaming everyone or everything.
It's called MY MEDICINE HAS NOT COME IN YET AND I'M FEELING THE EFFECTS BADLY. It was supposed to come in a few days ago, and it hasn't, and I'm managing best I can.
For someone who wants to have "sensitivity" classes, you are VERY insensitive to how others feel. HOw dare you say I'm blaming everything in life on my condition? I am not. I posted this thread because my friends aren't home, and I had to vent somehow, and I was hoping GreekChatters would be understanding enough to listen. That is all. Stop trying to pretend you know how I feel, what I think, and how I perceive things. You don't know me. I posted this thread for people to give encouraging words because I needed them. Stop trying to understand what's going through my head if you don't have a clue. If you do not have anything nice to say, do me a favor and do not speak to me. Those on here that also have problems understand how it is when you go without meds for a few days; it is soooo so hard. I just came here for support. I didn't ask for you to shoot me down. So do me a favor, and don't. Don't give me advice when I came here for support.
For your information, I am very confident about my condition. This is why I am so open about it. And under medication, I am fine, and I don't willingly NOT take them. I've taken them nonstop for two years, except for once or twice that my meds were late coming in and there wasn't anything I can do. I lead a normal life, and I'm normally quite happy.
For the rest of you who have replied, thank you so very much! I do feel better now. I took the advice and I went for a run, and wow do I feel better. Sitting at home just makes me think too much, and I don't need that. I do appreciate everyone's thoughts and kind words very much.
Also, it makes me feel a lot better to know how many others on here go through what I do, or similar. I don't feel so alone then.
