Unreliable?

[Shippe13]

Anyone else constantly making and breaking plans (telling others that you would love to do something and not fulfilling your promises)? It has become a significant problem for me and I was wondering if I was alone in this plight.

I also have issues with this... I found that making a scheduel helped. I try & wake up, eat, shower ect. the same time everyday. if I dont want to I make myself remember there is a reason its on my list. then I have a weekly, and daily to-do list. it may not wrk for everyone but mentaly, I feel ive acomplished something each time I check something off the list. set up ur own weekly reward for 7 completly checked off lists. ask someone for support on them... having to answer to someone for not doing it is a good mobliator

if u have someone close to u that is willing to be ur support make sure they r well educated about the complexities of bipolar disorder. an uneducated support system is not very useful because they will not take the responsibility as seriously as u deserve/need

I have lists of goals that I would like to complete daily, but I never really take them seriously. If it has helped you, I am willing to stick to it and give it a try. Thanks.

I was diagnosed with chronic paranoid schizophrenia but I can relate because before I took medication I couldn't keep long term goals at all.  Now I have trouble keeping them because my goals get destroyed along the way to achieving them because I guess I set my goals too high for one person alone to achieve and then life steps in and messes them up (computer failure, for example?) so I try to set lower goals I can achieve on my own.

It's an awful feeling all around.  Then when I actually do follow through I feel like I should have a parade in my honor for being able to do something that everyone else does on a daily basis.  The guilt just eats me!
