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 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.

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 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

I make promises to my children an don't keep them...how terrible of me how can I teach them right from wrong when I can't keep a promise to my children. Then the guilt I feel when I see how hurt they are by my words. Then I find myself wantin to feel their pain, I don't actually know what state of Mind I am in

I am so glad that I am not alone. This is one of the toughest things (aside from completely wanting to die) that I have to deal with. I am in a constant state of guilt because I can't stick to my word. Thank you for posting a response guys/gals.
