Bipolar and Self-Esteem

[SinkingShip]

I have actually been fairly stable the last couple of months (finally), but had to deal with some extreme anxiety that I am now on Luvox and Lorazepam for. One side effect of the anxiety is that I began to seriously doubt my competence at my job and my self-esteem (which was never great to begin with) nose-dived along with my job performance. I am a Project Manager, so having confidance that I can effectively lead a team and successfully complete a project is a very important component of the job, but I'm just not feeling it any more and now frequently question whether or not I know what I'm doing and if I can actually continue working.

Any suggestions on how to rebuild faith in myself and my own (God-given) abilities and competencies?

getting some exercise dailly could help a bit but you have to be faithful to doing it. Also allowing yourself to take vacation days from time to time to back off the stress will also help with mood funks and your anxiety and self confidence. Take a day for you do what ever you want take a deep breath and stop stressing so much.
