    Alexis313,

     

    Social withdrawl is a symptom that may be associated with depression.  As a characteristic of antisocial behavior it is also associated with early abuse and trauma.  It seems you have been exposed to both of these.  There may be more than bipolar involved with this issue you write about but counseling can help with both the depression and the trauma.

    It is easy to forget things when you are depressed.  Try reminder notes, placed where you will see them, like on your mirror or the inside of your door.  Incorporate taking your medication with your routine, then you will begin to think about taking them when you are doing the associated activities, like brushing your teeth after breakfast or after dinner or as part of the things you do before bed.
