So. The doctor says I have bipolar disorder. This has gone unmedicated for maybe 2 weeks now, and I feel pretty okay. So that's not really an issue for me at the moment.
What has been a long-term issue for me, though, is that I'm extremely avoidant of confrontation of any sort. For example, my father steals my money from me all the time, and I know it, and I don't want to confront him about it because I'm afraid of reprimand. He also constantly guilt trips me about it when I do decide to try and speak up.
Another thing is, I may like a certain person on and off. And when I tell them I do, I usually get rejected and go, "Oh. Well, I was just being crazy, disregard that, etc..." and if I don't even do that I'll make it completely obvious that I am a lesbian, even though I am not.
I feel like if this goes unsolved people will continue to take advantage of me, and I will never have the confidence to solve real-world problems once I am moved out (in about a year). Any advice?
