I am a young adult living in an apartment with 5 other people. These are people I trust very much and have seen the worst of my bipolar. They have been more than supporting throughout our living situation, but I cannot get over the guilt of how much I have hurt them as a result of this disorder + accompanying drug addiction. I have always been aware of it, but recently it was said directly to my face in words by my best friend/one of the roommates with so much pain in their face and I’m not sure how to deal with it. It was said in the most helpful way possible without intent of hurting me, but it’s all I can think about lately. 

I am trying so hard, I’m not perfect but I truly am trying, but I am still young and I have a long way to go before I figure out how to lead a stable life. I know that inevitably, I will hurt loved ones throughout the process. Does anyone have any advice concerning how to accept this and cope with this?
