Glad to hear that you're not experiencing this aspect anymore. It seems to me like a horribly frustrating experience, because you're also dealing with the embarrassment of feeling these things at all. How hellish is that? And I'm just an observer. Be well!

I used to have incidents like that frequently. My inability to deal with the new task at hand was usually an inability to deal with my emotional response to it. Intellectually, if I didn't have the Bipolar to cope with, I could have solved the problem, without anxiety, anger, explosiveness, resentful feelings, etc. But the Bipolar makes the emotions come on too fast and too strong and an over-reaction would result... Or, I would become frustrated from my inability to concentrate well enough. It really sounds like both of you are on the right track to getting this thing beat. Both of you are also such interesting writers and I really look forward to reading more of your posts :) Your description of the mirror incident is so truely reflective of the nature of coping with Bipolar Disorder.
