I work full time and find that it helps ot kill time etc saves me worrying about things that may or may not happen, the thing is the best tonic is to try and not get stressed. I am not sure how ever I like to do things my own way in my own time . The key is the right meds and the right support with your friends and family . If you find talking stressful some times I find that you can try a mood diary just 10 mins a day writing down your thought etc plus a good nights sleep just to keep everything in balance . This is my first post and look forward to your comments thank you Lee

Welcome to the Forum! I have had BP for 40 years and have had some pretty harrowing roller coaster rides with it. Do you have a T to help you analyze your problems on a neutral ground? Family and friends are not always the best to turn to for help, except for support. While doing honest therapy work, one sometimes has to give up doing things their own way and in their own time. I wonder if you have reached that point yet. If you haven't maybe now is the time to come out of hiding and reveal the real you. I hid for years and was not free, even though I said I was free. Once I became honest with myself, and admitted I needed some professional help that is when I started to become free. It has taken a lot of hard work and continues to take hard work and always will take hard work. Freedom is not free!
Holler back when you want to. This is a very friendly and open community.
